Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied the impact of thymopetide, an immune modulation therapy, on heart function and immune cell types in elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
- The study involved CHF patients aged over 60, who were split into two groups—one receiving thymopetide along with standard treatment and the other receiving only standard treatment—while a third group of healthy seniors served as a control.
- Results showed that the intervention group had improved immune cell counts and heart function after 15 and 75 days compared to the control group, indicating that thymopetide may have beneficial effects on the health of elderly CHF patients.
