Abstract
Patients with diabetes experience increased cardiovascular complications after cardiac surgery. Hyperglycaemia predicts increased mortality after myocardial infarction and may influence cardiovascular risk in humans. Impaired prosurvival phosphatase and tensin homologue on chromosome 10 (PTEN)-Akt signalling could be an important feature of the diabetic heart rendering it resistant to preconditioning. This study was designed to evaluate for...
