Empagliflozin protects against heart failure with preserved ejection fraction partly by inhibiting the senescence-associated STAT1–STING axis

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a mortal clinical syndrome without effective therapies. Empagliflozin (EMPA) improves cardiovascular outcomes in HFpEF patients, but the underlying mec.

Interactions between the gut microbiome, associated metabolites and the manifestation and progression of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in ZSF1 rats

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with systemic inflammation, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and gut microbiome changes. Increased trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) levels are pred.

Increasing cardiac ketones may help heart failure in mouse study

American Heart News - Heart News

Research Highlights: In mice with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), increasing ketone supply to the heart allowed their hearts to utilize more ketones and produce more energy. Researchers hope this study may help to improve our.

Exploring the impact of metabolic comorbidities on epicardial adipose tissue in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly prevalent worldwide due to aging and comorbidities. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), favored by diabetes and obesity, was shown to co.

Non-coding RNAs in the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is the largest unmet clinical need in cardiovascular medicine. Despite decades of research, the treatment option for HFpEF is still limited, indicating our ongoing incomplete understanding on the underlying molecular mechanisms.
