Abstract
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has shown promising effects in reducing cardiovascular events in patients with obesity and heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) irrespective of concomitant diabetes. However, the exact mechanisms underlying its cardioprotective actions remain unclear. Our study investigates the direct effects of semaglutide on human cardiomyocytes, focusing on calcium (Ca) and sodium (Na) handling and its potential to improve myocardial contractility.
期刊介绍:
European Journal of Heart Failure is an international journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field of heart failure management. The journal publishes reviews and editorials aimed at improving understanding, prevention, investigation, and treatment of heart failure. It covers various disciplines such as molecular and cellular biology, pathology, physiology, electrophysiology, pharmacology, clinical sciences, social sciences, and population sciences. The journal welcomes submissions of manuscripts on basic, clinical, and population sciences, as well as original contributions on nursing, care of the elderly, primary care, health economics, and other related specialist fields. It is published monthly and has a readership that includes cardiologists, emergency room physicians, intensivists, internists, general physicians, cardiac nurses, diabetologists, epidemiologists, basic scientists focusing on cardiovascular research, and those working in rehabilitation. The journal is abstracted and indexed in various databases such as Academic Search, Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, and Science Citation Index.
