Diminished cardiac S100A1 protein levels are characteristic of ischemic and dilated human cardiomyopathy. Because S100A1 has recently been identified as a Ca2+-dependent inotropic factor in the heart, this study sought to explore the pathophysiological relevance of S100A1 levels in development and progression of postischemic heart failure (HF).
