Abstract
Results indicate that angiotensin II and stretch are necessary for the initiation of the hyperplasia response of nonmyocytes in cardiac hypertrophy. Because renin message levels determined using RT-PCR were quite low, however, it is unlikely that an autocrine mechanism of angiotensin production using renin is present in nonmyocytes
