Emerging Drug Therapies for Heart Failure
Heart failure is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is proving to be an economic burden in developing countries. A number of therapeutic agents are presently employed in heart failure; but they are not sufficient to control symptoms of heart failure. Moreover, the prevalence of chronic heart failure is progressively increasing and thus there is a continuing need to develop effecti...
متن کاملToll-like receptors: emerging therapeutic targets for heart failure
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been identified as central innate immune receptors. They distinguish among different patterns of pathogens and rapidly activate an innate immune response. However, TLRs can also be stimulated by host-derived molecules. They are expressed in the cardiovascular system and could thus be a key link between cardiovascular diseases and the activation of the immune syst...
متن کاملMineralocorticoid receptor antagonism: therapeutic potential in acute heart failure syndromes.
Acute heart failure syndromes (AHFS) are a heterogeneous group of commonly encountered and difficult to manage clinical syndromes associated with high morbidity and mortality. Dyspnoea, pulmonary, and systemic congestion often characterize AHFS due to acutely elevated intracardiac filling pressures and fluid overload. Diuresis, respiratory support, vasodilator therapy, and gradual attenuation o...
متن کاملTherapeutic potential of vasopressin-receptor antagonists in heart failure.
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a 9-amino acid peptide that is secreted from the posterior pituitary in response to high plasma osmolality and hypotension. AVP has important roles in circulatory and water homoeostasis, which are mediated by oxytocin receptors and by AVP receptor subtypes: V(1a) (mainly vascular), V(1b) (pituitary), and V(2) (renal). Vaptans are orally and intravenously active non...
