Abstract:
Cardiomyocytes apoptosis plays a crucial role in the pathologic process of some ischemic and non-ischemic heart diseases. Since the discovery of the calpain family,more and more studies have demonstrated their close relationship with cell apoptosis. In addition to the consideration of their unique distribution in the cardiomyocytes,we are enthralled by their implication of a novel direction for both the diagnosis and the treatment of various heart diseases.
