Heart failure is becoming a global epidemic. It exerts a staggering toll on quality of life, and substantial medical and economic impact. In a pre-clinical model of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, we were able to overcome loss of heart function by administering the TRPV1 antagonist BCTC (4-(3-Chloro-2-pyridinyl)-N-[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl]-1-piperazinecarboxamide). The results presented here identify TRPV1 antagonists as new treatment options for cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.
心力衰竭正成为一种全球性流行病。它对生活质量造成了巨大影响,还带来了巨大的医疗和经济负担。在心脏肥大和心力衰竭的临床前模型中,我们通过给予 TRPV1 拮抗剂 BCTC(4-(3-氯-2-吡啶基)-N-[4-(1,1-二甲基乙基)苯基]-1-哌嗪甲酰胺)来克服心脏功能的丧失。这里呈现的结果将 TRPV1 拮抗剂确定为心脏肥大和心力衰竭的新治疗选择。
