AI Technical Summary
Current treatments for cardiometabolic heart failure, such as diabetic cardiomyopathy, are inadequate in effectively reducing mortality, improving cardiac function, and preventing complications like coronary and cerebrovascular dysfunction.
The use of non-glycosylated or hypoglycosylated follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) polypeptides to contact cardiac tissue, which can be delivered systemically or locally to the heart, promoting repair and improving cardiac function.
FSTL1 treatment has shown to reduce heart failure mortality, improve cardiac function, prevent left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and enhance coronary and cerebrovascular function, thereby addressing the limitations of existing treatments.
