A.B. Lucas

Cardiac Hypertrophy is the world’s number one cause for heart failure and sudden death. Doctors believe that ARB’s ( a type of medication used to treat hypertrophy) have a lot of controversy and that they should not be prescribed to patients. This project examines the possible antihypertrophic effect of Epigallocatechin Gallate and Docosahexaenoic Acid on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, compared to an ARB known as Valsartan.
