Aims: Membrane-bound angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)2 is the main cellular access point for SARS-CoV-2, but its expression and the effect of ACE inhibition have not been assessed quantitatively in patients with heart failure. The aim of this study was to characterize membrane-bound ACE2 expression in the myocardium and myocardial vasculature in patients undergoing heart transplantation and to assess the effect of pharmacological ACE inhibition.
Methods And Results: Left ventricular (LV) tissue was obtained from 36 explanted human hearts from patients undergoing heart transplantation.
