Human Cardiotrophin 1 Protein Improves Heart Function in Rats with PAH, Study Shows
Human cardiotrophin 1 protein (hCT1) stimulates heart muscle growth in rats with induced right heart failure (RHF) due to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, leading to improved heart function, a new study shows. The results suggest that hCT1 could be beneficial for patients with an intractable form of heart failure. The study, “Cardiotrophin 1…
