“…Factors that can cause intracellular calcium uptake and efflux will result in calcium overload, thereby compromising the patient's ventricular diastolic function [ 11 – 13 ]. In addition, cardiomyocyte stiffness, left ventricular pressure overload, volume reduction, and heart rate changes are also associated with DHF [ 14 , 15 ]. Echocardiography is a widely used diagnostic method in clinical practice that can objectively and accurately evaluate the cardiac function of patients and monitor the changes in cardiac function in real time, with the advantages of noninvasiveness, easy operation, and repeatability.…”

Objective. This study is to assess the application of combined detection of echocardiography and serum N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) in the diagnosis of diastolic heart failure (DHF) and its effect on left ventricular morphology and diastolic function. Methods. Thirty patients with DHF with enrolled in our hospital between January 2019 and January 2021 were included in the experimental group, and thirty healthy individuals during the same period were included in the control group. The blood pressure, heart rate (HR), left ventricular morphology, diastolic function, and serum NT-ProBNP levels were compared between the two groups. Results. DHF was associated with higher levels of diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), HR, left ventricular diameter (LVD), interventricular septum thickness (IVST), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), left atrial volume index (LAVI), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), serum NT-ProBNP, maximum early ventricular filling velocity/early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus (E/Ea) ratio, and aortic regurgitation (AR) and lower levels of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), flow propagation velocity (VP), and systolic/diastolic (S/D) ratio versus healthy subjects (all at P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The combined detection of echocardiography and serum NT-ProBNP yields a high clinical value in the diagnosis of DHF deficiency, as it can accurately evaluate the patient's left heart morphology and diastolic function, so it is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

“…Doxorubicin (Adriamycin ® ), an anthracycline chemotherapeutic medication, has been effective against several types of malignancies since the 1960s [1,2]. It is the most valuable cytotoxic medication approved by oncologists in tandem with other anti-tumor medications or radiation and surgery [3].…”

Doxorubicin (DOX) has a potent antineoplastic efficacy and is considered a cornerstone of chemotherapy. However, it causes several dose-dependent cardiotoxic results, which has substantially restricted its clinical application. This study was intended to explore the potential ameliorative effect of date palm pollen ethanolic extract (DPPE) against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and the mechanisms underlying it. Forty male Wistar albino rats were equally allocated into Control (CTR), DPPE (500 mg/kg bw for 4 weeks), DOX (2.5 mg/kg bw, intraperitoneally six times over 2 weeks), and DPPE + DOX-treated groups. Pre-coadministration of DPPE with DOX partially ameliorated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity as DPPE improved DOX-induced body and heart weight changes and mitigated the elevated cardiac injury markers activities of serum aminotransferases, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and creatine kinase-cardiac type isoenzyme. Additionally, the concentration of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), troponin T (cTnT), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP), and cytosolic calcium (Ca+2) were amplified. DPPE also alleviated nitrosative status (nitric oxide) in DOX-treated animals, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant molecules as glutathione content, and glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities and inflammatory markers levels; NF-κB p65, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. As well, it ameliorated the severity of histopathological lesions , histomorphometric alteration and improved the immune-staining of the pro-fibrotic (TGF-β1), pro-apoptotic (caspase-3 and Bax), and anti-apoptotic (Bcl-2) proteins in cardiac tissues. Collectively, pre-coadministration of DPPE partially mitigated DOX-induced cardiac injuries via its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-apoptotic potential.

“…Doxorubicin (DOX, Fig. 1A) is widely used in the treatment of a variety of malignancies, in particular, solid tumours (Hu et al, 2018). However, it has also been reported to induce toxicity, including myelosuppression (Chen et al, 2017), gastrointestinal reaction (Tomiyasu et al, 2010), and cardiotoxicity (McGowan et al, 2017), thereby, limiting its clinical use (Chung & Youn, 2016;McGowan et al, 2017).…”

Background Luteolin (LUT) is a flavonoid found in vegetables and fruits that has diverse functions. Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic that is frequently used for the treatment of various cancers. Unfortunately, the clinical efficacy of DOX is limited by its dose-related cardiotoxicity. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential mechanism through which LUT attenuates cardiotoxicity in vivo. Methods We evaluated the body weight, heart weight, electrocardiogram, and pathological changes before and after administration of LUT. Moreover, the effects of LUT (50 mg/kg in the low dose group, 100 mg/kg in the high dose group) on biochemical parameters (brain natriuretic peptide, creatine kinase MB, cardiac troponin T, and dehydrogenation of lactate enzyme) and oxidative stress parameters (malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase) were studied in the sera of cardiotoxicity model rats. We also identified the apoptotic mediators whose expression was induced by LUT by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) evaluation. In addition, we used network analysis to predict DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and protection afforded by LUT. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of associated proteins. Results LUT significantly improved DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in a dose-dependent fashion. LUT ameliorated DOX-induced weight loss and heart weight changes, as well as changes in biochemical parameters and oxidative stress parameters in heart injury model rats. LUT’s protective effect was observed via regulation of the apoptotic markers Bcl-2, Bax, and caspase-3 mRNA and protein expression levels. Network analysis showed that the AKT/Bcl-2 signalling pathway was activated; specifically, the PH domain leucine-rich repeats protein phosphatase 1 (phlpp1) was involved in the AKT/Bcl-2 signal pathway. LUT inhibited the activity of phlpp1 leading to positive regulation of the AKT/Bcl-2 pathway, which attenuated doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Conclusions These results demonstrate that LUT exerted protective effects against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in vivo by alleviating oxidative stress, suppressing phlpp1 activity, and activating the AKT/Bcl-2 signalling pathway.
