The contractile function of striated muscle cells is altered by oxidative/nitrosative stress,
which can be observed under physiological conditions but also in diseases like heart failure …

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury is common in patients who undergo
revascularization therapy for myocardial infarction, often leading to cardiac dysfunction …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor.
