CD36 and dilated cardiomyopathy: Two previous studies have analyzed the expression of CD36 in human failing myocardium: Pohl et al. [53] found no differences in CD36 expression in the plasma membranes of cardiomyocytes in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, whereas Uray et al. [54] showed a transcriptional upregulation of CD36 linked to reverse remodelling in end-stage heart failure patients.
