Tsinghua Study Reveals How Liver-Derived ATP Drives Remote Cardiac Injury Following Hepatic Surgery
Cardiovascular complications remain a leading cause of early mortality after liver transplantation and major hepatic resection, yet the molecular pathway linking hepatic injury to remote cardiac damage has long remained elusive. A new study from Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, Tsinghua University, identifies circulating ATP released from the ischemic liver as the initiating signal that dri...
