A Cardiac Myocyte Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Paracrine Pathway Is Required to Maintain Cardiac Function

The role of the cardiac myocyte as a mediator of paracrine signaling in the heart has remained unclear. To address this issue, we generated mice with cardiac myocyte-specific deletion of the vascular endothelial growth factor gene, thereby producing a cardiomyocyte-specific knockout of a secreted fa...
