Core Tip	Enhanced levels of cardiac phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) contribute to impairment of electrophysiological and mechanical function induced by cirrhosis, called “cirrhotic cardio-myopathy”. Here, we find that the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin normalized the impaired inotropic respon-siveness to β-adrenergic stimulation and prolonged Q-T interval in tetrachloride carbon (CCl4)-induced cirrhotic rats. Cardiac ventricular expression of phosphorylated-mTOR (p-mTOR) was increased in rats with cirrhosis, and this effect was ameliorated by rapamycin. CCl4-induced cirrhosis was associated with an increase in cardiac proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α, and this increase was reversed by rapamycin as well.
