Summary

In vivo AT2 receptor stimulation led to an increased c‐kit+AT2+ cell population in the infarcted myocardium and reduced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in rats with acute myocardial infarction, suggesting that cardiac c‐Kit+AT 2+ cellpopulation exists and increases after acute ischemic injury.
