Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a crucial incretin hormone secreted by intestinal endocrine L cells. Given its pivotal physiological role, researchers have developed GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) through structural modifications. These analogues display pharmacological effects similar to those of GLP-1 but with augmented stability and are regarded as an effective means of regulating blood glucose levels in clinical practice.

Targeting senescence and GATA4 in age-related cardiovascular disease: a comprehensive approach.

Biogerontology

January 2025

Center for Global Health Research, Saveetha Medical College, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, India.

The growing prevalence of age-related cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) poses significant health challenges, necessitating the formulation of novel treatment approaches. GATA4, a vital transcription factor identified for modulating cardiovascular biology and cellular senescence, is recognized for its critical involvement in CVD pathogenesis. This review collected relevant studies from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct using search terms like 'GATA4,' 'cellular senescence,' 'coronary artery diseases,' 'hypertension,' 'heart failure,' 'arrhythmias,' 'congenital heart diseases,' 'cardiomyopathy,' and 'cardiovascular disease.

Clinical significance of the estimation of pulmonary-right ventricular uncoupling in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.

Eur Heart J Imaging Methods Pract

January 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kumamoto University, 1-1-1 Honjo, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto 860-8556, Japan.

Aims: There are few data on the prognostic impact of pulmonary-right ventricular (RV) uncoupling in patients with wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM).

Methods And Results: Among the 174 patients who were diagnosed with ATTRwt-CM at Kumamoto University Hospital from 2002 to 2021, 143 patients who met the current Japanese guideline and had sufficient information for two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography were retrospectively analysed. During a median follow-up of 1209 days, 39 cardiac deaths occurred.

Relaxin mimetic in pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease: Design and rationale of Re-PHIRE.

ESC Heart Fail

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Pulmonology, and Intensive Care Medicine, Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne (CMMC), Cologne Cardiovascular Research Center (CCRC), Medical Faculty, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany.

Aims: Despite receiving guideline-directed medical heart failure (HF) therapy, patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease (PH-LHD) experience higher mortality and hospitalization rates than the general HF population. AZD3427 is a functionally selective, long-acting mimetic of relaxin, a hormone that has the potential to induce vasodilation and prevent fibrosis. In a phase 1b study conducted in patients with HF, AZD3427 demonstrated a favourable safety and pharmacokinetic profile.

Goreisan suppresses cardiac remodeling and dysfunction in a new mouse model with diabetic cardiomyopathy.

J Pharmacol Sci

February 2025

Department of Pharmacology, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Tokushima University, Tokushima, Tokushima, Japan. Electronic address:

Background: The global increase in diabetes, driven by aging populations and lifestyle changes, has led to an increase in the incidence of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM is characterized by metabolic abnormalities, oxidative stress, and inflammation, leading to cardiac remodeling and dysfunction. Goreisan (GRS), a traditional Japanese Kampo medicine, is commonly used to treat fluid control such as edema, due to its diuretic effect.
