The aim of this study was to determine the role of the AT2 receptor (AT2R) in left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). The left anterior descending arteries were ligated in AT2R gene knockout (Agtr2-) and wild-type (Agtr2+) mice. The LV remodeling was evaluated by echocardiography and histology over a period of 2 weeks after MI. The infarct sizes in hearts excised from Agtr2+ and Agtr2- mice on day 1 were similar. The mortality rate of Agtr2- mice (62.9%) on day 14 after MI was significantly (P
