title: Modulation of myocardial contraction by peroxynitrite.
abstract: Peroxynitrite is a potent oxidant that is quickly emerging as a crucial modulator of myocardial function. This review will focus on the regulation of myocardial contraction by peroxynitrite during health and disease, with a specific emphasis on cardiomyocyte Ca(2+) handling, proposed signaling pathways, and protein end-targets.
