The incidence and mortality of myocardial infarction (MI) in diabetic patients are higher than in non-diabetic patients; however, the mechanisms by which diabetes results in cardiac dysfunction are poorly understood. The present study tested the hypothesis that an impaired sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway contributes to cardiac dysfunction in type 1 diabetic mice with MI.
