Windtree Therapeutics (NASDAQ: WINT) announced the presentation of preclinical data on istaroxime and a selective SERCA2a activator at the upcoming European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Conference. The ePoster presentation demonstrates how istaroxime and its metabolite analog (CVie216) help reduce calcium-dependent arrhythmias in an STZ rat model during ischemia-reperfusion by activating SERCA2a.
The study identified a potential mechanism explaining the decreased incidence of reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in STZ-isolated hearts after exposure to these compounds. This research is particularly significant as arrhythmias can severely impact heart function and can be fatal, especially in patients with heart failure and cardiomyopathy.
