Cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMEC) play important roles in myocardial function. CMEC regulate vascular tone by releasing and degrading endothelium-derived vasoactive factors, and modulating the local levels of vasoconstrictors and vasodilators through their enzymatic activities. Many of these substances can also modify myocardial contractile behavior. Furthermore, microvasculature has ...
