Abstract
The data presented here are related to the research article entitled “Differential expression of the angiotensin-(1-12) [Ang-(1-12)]/chymase axis in human atrial tissue [1]. We have showed that chymase gene transcripts, chymase activity, and immunoreactive- Ang-(1-12) expression levels were higher in left compared to right atrial tissue, irrespective of cardiac disease. This article presents the echocardiographic characteristics of 111 patients undergoing heart surgery for the correction of valvular heart disease, resistant atrial fibrillation or ischemic heart disease. Left atrial chymase mRNA expression and activity, and left atrial Ang-(1-12) levels were compared between patients with stroke vs. non-stroke, congestive heart failure vs. non-heart failure, and in cardiac surgery patients who had a history of postoperative atrial fibrillation vs. non-atrial fibrillation.
