Le muscle cardiaque est constitué de cellules, les cardiomyocytes, liés les uns aux autres par des disques intercalaires. Les embranchements des cardiomyocytes forment un réseau complexe tridimensionnel. Tous les cardiomyocytes sont capables de dépolarisations rythmiques spontanées. 4, record 1, French, - cardiomyocyte

Nisoldipine, a dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker, is used alone or with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, to treat hypertension, chronic stable angina pectoris, and Prinzmetal' s variant angina. Nisoldipine is similar to other peripheral vasodilators. Nisoldipine inhibits the influx of extra cellular calcium across the myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes possibly by deforming the channel, inhibiting ion-control gating mechanisms, and/or interfering with the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 1, record 2, English, - nisoldipine

Selectines facilitate the initial adhesion of leukocytes on the surface of vascular endothelium. This initial adhesion is considered to be the first step in the development of the atherosclerotic plaque. Adhered leukocytes migrate into the subendothelial space and form the so-called "foam" cells at a later stage. Three different selectine molecule have been identified : L-selectine is expressed on the leucocyte membrane, E-selectine is expressed on the "activated" endothelial cell membrane and P-selectine is expressed on both platelet and "activated" endothelial cell surface. P-selectine seems to play a role in the development of acute coronary syndromes. Increased serum levels of P-selectine have been found in both acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. 1, record 3, English, - P%2Dselectine
