Immune Modulator

Cardiogen

Also known as: Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg

Cardiogen is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg / AEDR) from the Khavinson bioregulator series, studied in Russian preclinical models for potential effects on cardiac-tissue gene expression and cardiomyocyte structural proteins. Not FDA-approved; no Western clinical trials have been performed, and all published evidence originates from a single research group.

Consistent Efficacy of Vutrisiran Across Sexes in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis: Evidence from the HELIOS-B Trial

Aims Sex differences in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) are increasingly recognised; however, women are underrepresented in trials and sex-specific treatment effects remain incompletely understood. We evaluated sex differences in baseline phenotype, outcomes and vutrisiran response in ATTR-CM.

Echocardiographic risk stratification in heart failure with post-capillary pulmonary hypertension: prognostic value of LAVI and TAPSE/PASP

Aims Post-capillary pulmonary hypertension (pcPH) is a frequent complication of heart failure (HF), associated with poor outcomes.

Non-amyloid specific treatment for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: a clinical consensus statement of the ESC Heart Failure Association

This clinical consensus statement, developed by the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology, offers a detailed review of the non-specific management of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).

Screening for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy in patients with musculoskeletal symptoms: Red flags in the rheumatology/orthopedics practice setting

Musculoskeletal manifestations of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) are common, early in the disease course (usually years before cardiac involvement), and are potentially predictive.

Diagnostic pathway for cardiac amyloidosis from the healthcare professional's perspective: results from the French DIAM-ATTR survey

Background Diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is complex and implicates several medical specialists. CA is usually suspected based on symptoms ('red flags') and non-invasive imagery. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are critical in patients with CA.
