This study shows that PAI-1 deficiency leads to early cardiac hemorrhage and fibrosis under hemodynamic stress, with mutations in the protease-inhibitory domain causing similar pathology.

This study shows that Angiotensin II exacerbates mitral valve and left atrial pathology in Fbn1C1041G/+ mice, while AGT inhibition does not alter the phenotype.

This study shows that spiny mice (Acomys) have better cardiac recovery after myocardial infarction compared to common lab mice, with less scarring and better function.
