Studies from University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in the Area of Hypertrophy Described (Sacubitril/valsartan reduces proteasome activation and cardiomyocyte area in an experimental mouse model of hypertrophy).

A recent study conducted at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Germany explored the effects of Sacubitril/Valsartan (Sac/Val) on hypertrophy, a condition characterized by an increase in the size of heart muscle cells. The researchers found that Sac/Val improved cardiac function and reduced hypertrophy and fibrosis in a mouse model of hypertrophy. Additionally, the study suggested that the beneficial effects of Sac/Val were primarily derived from the Sac component rather than the Val component. This research provides valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of Sac/Val in the treatment of heart failure. [Extracted from the article]
