Cardiomyopathies are heart muscle disorders which represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that often lead to progressive heart failure with significant morbidity and mortality. Here, the inventors show that neutralization of acyl CoA binding protein (ACBP) / diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI) reduces the deleterious effect of the Vehicle anthracycline doxombicin on cardiac function. Since anthracycline-induced heart failure and anthracycline-induced senescence are models of accelerated cardiac aging, it is also plausible to use ACBP / DBI inhibition or neutralization as a method to prevent or treat aging of the cardiovascular system. The inventors also found that genetic and pharmacological interventions to deplete ACBP / DBI efficiently improves cardiac dysfunction associated with experimental HFpEF, a condition associated with aging, hypertension and obesity. Accordingly, the present disclosure relates to methods for the treatment of cardiac dysfunction comprising neutralization of ACBP / DBI.
