A new therapeutic target for a lethal form of heart failure: ALPK2

Science Daily - Heart Disease

Heart failure with preserved ejection function is a lethal form of heart failure, with few effective treatments. A team has now identified an enzyme, alpha-kinase 2 (ALPK2), that is specifically expressed in the heart and regulates the heart dysfunction that leads to heart failure with preserved ejection function.

However, right heart dysfunction as well as the proportion of patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation remained unchanged. Clusters with persistent right heart dysfunction ultimately displayed 2-year survival rates of 69.2% (95% CI 56.6% ±15.8 ±15.1 mm Hg, p value: 0.0079). to 84.7%) and 74.6% (95% CI 65.9%
