Terminal differentiation of cardiac myocyte is associated with their permanent withdrawal from the cell cycle. In adult end-stage heart failure, significant numbers of myocytes express proliferating cell nuclear antigen yet fail to progress to cell division. Cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors are powerful inhibitors of the cell cycle and may play a direct role both in myocyte development and in preventing cell division in the adult.
