after MI and for the beneficial adaptations promoted by ET. As seen in this chapter,
ET acts in key mechanisms of cardiac remodelling and cardiovascular control after
MI, thus contributing both to prevent or postpone harmful adaptations, and even to
recover from negative alterations caused by cardiac ischemia. Translational studies
regarding ET associated with MI should be performed in order to a build parallel
knowledge between basic and clinical science.
