Abstract
With an ever-increasing number of treatment options, the assessment of treatment sequences has become crucial in health technology assessment (HTA). This review systematically explores the multifaceted challenges inherent in evaluating sequences, delving into their interplay and nuances that go beyond economic model structures. We synthesised a 'roadmap' of literature from key methodological studies, highlighting the evolution of recent advances and emerging research themes. These insights were compared against HTA guidelines to identify potential avenues for future research. Our findings reveal a spectrum of challenges in sequence evaluation, encompassing selecting appropriate decision-analytic modelling approaches and comparators, deriving appropriate clinical effectiveness evidence in the face of data scarcity, scrutinising effectiveness assumptions and statistical adjustments, considering treatment displacement, and optimising model computations. Integrating methodologies from diverse disciplines-statistics, epidemiology, causal inference, operational research and computer science-has demonstrated promise in addressing these challenges. An updated review of application studies is warranted to provide detailed insights into the extent and manner in which these methodologies have been implemented. Data scarcity on the effectiveness of treatment sequences emerged as a dominant concern, especially because treatment sequences are rarely compared in clinical trials. Real-world data (RWD) provide an alternative means for capturing evidence on effectiveness and future research should prioritise harnessing causal inference methods, particularly Target Trial Emulation, to evaluate treatment sequence effectiveness using RWD. This approach is also adaptable for analysing trials harbouring sequencing information and adjusting indirect comparisons when collating evidence from heterogeneous sources. Such investigative efforts could lend support to reviews of HTA recommendations and contribute to synthesising external control arms involving treatment sequences.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition characterized by myocardial dysfunction that occurs in individuals with diabetes, in the absence of coronary artery disease, valve disease, and other conventional cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. It is considered a significant and consequential complication of diabetes in the field of cardiovascular medicine. The primary pathological manifestations include myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and impaired ventricular function, which can lead to widespread myocardial necrosis. Ultimately, this can progress to the development of heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock, with severe cases even resulting in sudden cardiac death. Despite several decades of both fundamental and clinical research conducted globally, there are currently no specific targeted therapies available for DCM in clinical practice, and the incidence and mortality rates of heart failure remain persistently high. Thus, this article provides an overview of the current treatment modalities and novel techniques pertaining to DCM, aiming to offer valuable insights and support to researchers dedicated to investigating this complex condition.

[PMID: 38404792 PMCID: PMC10884449 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The incidence of heart failure, the terminal stage of several cardiovascular diseases, is increasing owing to population growth and aging. Bidirectional crosstalk between the gut and heart plays a significant role in heart failure. This study aimed to analyze the gut-heart axis and heart failure from a bibliometric perspective. Methods We extracted literature regarding the gut-heart axis and heart failure from the Web of Science Core Collection database (January 1, 1993, to June 30, 2023) and conducted bibliometric and visualization analyses using Microsoft Excel, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the R package "bibliometrix." Results The final analysis included 1646 articles with an average of 35.38 citations per article. Despite some fluctuations, the number of articles published per year has steadily increased over the past 31 years, particularly since 2018. A total of 9412 authors from 2287 institutions in 86 countries have contributed to this field. The USA and China have been the most productive countries, with the Cleveland Clinic in the USA and Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin in Germany being the most active institutions. The cooperation between countries/regions and institutions was relatively close. Professor Tang WHW was the most productive author in the field and the journal Shocks published the highest number of articles. "Heart failure," "gut microbiota," "trimethylamine N-oxide," and "inflammation" were the most common keywords, representing the current research hotspots. The keyword burst analysis indicated that "gut microbiota" and "short-chain fatty acids" are the current frontier research topics in this field. Conclusion Research on the gut-heart axis and heart failure is increasing. This bibliometric analysis indicated that the mechanisms associated with the gut-heart axis and heart failure, particularly the gut microbiota, trimethylamine N-oxide, inflammation, and short-chain fatty acids, will become hotspots and emerging trends in research in this field. These findings provide valuable insights into current research and future directions.

Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 170:115963. [PMID: 38042114 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Autoimmune myocarditis, which falls within the broad spectrum of myocarditis, is characterized by an excessive inflammatory response in the heart, and can progress into dilated cardiomyopathy and irreversible heart failure in all possibility. However, effective clinical therapeutics are limited due to its complex inflammatory reactions. Empagliflozin (EMPA) has been previously demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to determine the improvement effects of EMPA on cardiac dysfunction under the condition of autoimmune myocarditis, and to further investigate the potential mechanisms. In vivo, all male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: control, experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM), EAM+EMPA and EMPA. In vitro, the effects of EMPA on IL-18-stimulated H9C2 cells were explored and the underlying molecular mechanisms were further determined. EMPA treatment significantly inhibited the development of autoimmune myocarditis, and mice treated with EMPA exhibited improved cardiac function compared with that in the EAM group, potentially through modulating pyroptosis of myocardium. Specifically, the NF-κB pathway was activated in the hearts of the EAM mice, which further activated NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis. EMPA treatment significantly inhibited such activation, thus alleviating inflammatory reactions in the context of EAM. Moreover, in vitro, we also observed that EMPA significantly inhibited pyroptosis of IL-18-stimulated H9C2 cells, and reduced nuclear translocation of NF-κB and degradation of activated IκBα. This work provides the first direct evidence that EMPA can inhibit myocardial inflammation and improve cardiac function in EAM mice, partly attributed to the drug-induced suppression of cardiomyocyte pyroptosis via disrupting the NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that represents the advanced stage of cardiovascular disease, characterized by systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the heart. Despite continuous updates in HF treatment drugs, the morbidity and mortality rates remain high, necessitating ongoing exploration for new therapeutic targets. Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the serine/threonine protein kinase which responds to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) levels.Activation of AMPK shifts cellular metabolic patterns from synthesis to catabolism, enhancing energy metabolism in pathological conditions such as inflammation, ischemia, obesity, and aging. Numerous studies have identified AMPK as a vital target for HF treatment, with herbal monomers/extracts and compounds affecting key signaling factors including rapamycin targeting protein (mTOR), silencing regulator protein 1 (SIRT1), nuclear transcription factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) through regulation of the AMPK signaling pathway.This modulation can achieve the effects of improving metabolism, autophagy, reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response in the treatment of heart failure, with the advantages of multi-targeting, comprehensive action and low toxicity.The modulation of the AMPK pathway by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has emerged as a crucial research direction for the prevention and treatment of HF, but a systematic summary and generalization in this field is lacking. This article provides an overview of the composition, regulation, and mechanism of the AMPK signaling pathway's influence on HF, as well as a summary of current research on the regulation of the AMPK pathway by TCM for HF prevention and treatment. The aim is to serve as a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of HF using TCM and the development of new drugs.

Abstract
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a member of the IL-1 cytokine family and is believed to play important roles in different diseases by binding to its specific receptor suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2). In the heart, IL-33 is expressed in different cells including cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, endothelium, and epithelium. Although many studies have been devoted to investigating the effects of IL-33 on heart diseases, its roles in myocardial injuries remain obscure, and thus further studies are mandatory to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms. We highlighted the current knowledge of the molecular and cellular characteristics of IL-33 and then summarized its major roles in different myocardial injuries, mainly focusing on infection, heart transplantation, coronary atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and diabetic cardiomyopathy. This narrative review will summarize current understanding and insights regarding the implications of IL-33 in cardiac diseases and its diagnostic and therapeutic potential for cardiac disease management.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one serious and common complication in diabetes without effective treatments. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) fights against a variety of cardiovascular diseases including DCM. Retinoic acid-related orphan receptor α (RORα) has protective effects on cardiovascular system. However, whether RORα mediates the protective effect of H2S against DCM remains unknown. The present research was to explore the roles and mechanisms of RORα in H2S against DCM. The study demonstrated that H2S donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) alleviated cell injury but enhanced RORα expression in high glucose (HG)-stimulated cardiomyocytes. However, NaHS no longer had the protective effect on attenuating cell damage and oxidative stress, improving mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibiting necroptosis and enhanced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) Ser727 phosphorylation in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes after RORα siRNA transfection. Moreover, NaHS improved cardiac function, attenuated myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, alleviated oxidative stress, inhibited necroptosis, but increased STAT3 phosphorylation in wild type (WT) mice but not in RORα knockout mice (a spontaneous staggerer mice, sg/sg mice) with diabetes. Additionally, NaHS increased RORα promoter activity in cardiomyocytes with HG stimulation, which was related to the binding sites of E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) in the upstream region of RORα promoter. NaHS enhanced E2F1 expression and increased the binding of E2F1 to RORα promoter in cardiomyocytes with HG stimulation. In sum, H2S promoted RORα transcription via E2F1 to alleviate necroptosis and protect against DCM. It is helpful to propose a novel therapeutic implication for DCM.

Int J Cardiol 2023:S0167-5273(23)00738-6. [PMID: 37257517 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2023.05.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous syndrome. Diabetes may identify an essential phenotype that significantly affects the prognosis of these patients. The WATCH-DM risk score has been validated for predicting the risk of heart failure in outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its ability to predict clinical outcomes in HFpEF patients with T2DM is unknown. We aimed to assess whether this risk score could predict the prognosis of diabetic phenotype patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction. METHODS We enrolled retrospectively 414 patients with HFpEF (70.03 ± 8.654 years, 58.70% female), including 203 (49.03%) type 2 diabetics. Diabetic HFpEF patients were stratified by baseline WATCH-DM risk score. RESULTS Diabetic HFpEF patients exhibited a trend toward more concentric remodeling/hypertrophy than nondiabetic HFpEF patients. When analyzed as a continuous variable, per 1-point increase in the WATCH-DM risk score was associated with increased risks of all-cause death (HR 1.181), cardiovascular death (HR 1.239), any hospitalization (HR 1.082), and HF hospitalization (HR 1.097). The AUC for the WATCH-DM risk score in predicting incident cardiovascular death (0.7061, 95% CI 0.6329-0.7792) was higher than that of all-cause death, any hospitalization, or HF hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS As a high-risk phenotype for heart failure, diabetic HFpEF necessitates early risk stratification and specific treatment. To the best of our knowledge, the current study is the first to demonstrate that the WATCH-DM score predicts poor outcomes in diabetic HFpEF patients. Its convenience may allow for quick risk assessments in busy clinical settings.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular complications are two unmet medical emergencies that can occur together. The rising incidence of heart failure in diabetic populations, in addition to apparent coronary heart disease, ischemia, and hypertension-related complications, has created a more challenging situation. Diabetes, as a predominant cardio-renal metabolic syndrome, is related to severe vascular risk factors, and it underlies various complex pathophysiological pathways at the metabolic and molecular level that progress and converge toward the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM involves several downstream cascades that cause structural and functional alterations of the diabetic heart, such as diastolic dysfunction progressing into systolic dysfunction, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and subsequent heart failure over time. The effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in diabetes have shown promising results, including improved contractile bioenergetics and significant cardiovascular benefits. The purpose of this article is to highlight the various pathophysiological, metabolic, and molecular pathways that contribute to the development of DCM and its significant effects on cardiac morphology and functioning. Additionally, this article will discuss the potential therapies that may be available in the future.

SGLT2 inhibitor ertugliflozin decreases elevated intracellular sodium, and improves energetics and contractile function in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 160:114310. [PMID: 36731341 PMCID: PMC9992115 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated myocardial intracellular sodium ([Na+]i) was shown to decrease mitochondrial calcium ([Ca2+]MITO) via mitochondrial sodium/calcium exchanger (NCXMITO), resulting in decreased mitochondrial ATP synthesis. The sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) ertugliflozin (ERTU) improved energetic deficit and contractile dysfunction in a mouse model of high fat, high sucrose (HFHS) diet-induced diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCMP). As SGLT2is were shown to lower [Na+]i in isolated cardiomyocytes, we hypothesized that energetic improvement in DCMP is at least partially mediated by a decrease in abnormally elevated myocardial [Na+]i. METHODS Forty-two eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed a control or HFHS diet for six months. In the last month, a subgroup of HFHS-fed mice was treated with ERTU. At the end of the study, left ventricular contractile function and energetics were measured simultaneously in isolated beating hearts by 31P NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy. A subset of untreated HFHS hearts was perfused with vehicle vs. CGP 37157, an NCXMITO inhibitor. Myocardial [Na+]i was measured by 23Na NMR spectroscopy. RESULTS HFHS hearts showed diastolic dysfunction, decreased contractile reserve, and impaired energetics as reflected by decreased phosphocreatine (PCr) and PCr/ATP ratio. Myocardial [Na+]i was elevated > 2-fold in HFHS (vs. control diet). ERTU reversed the impairments in HFHS hearts to levels similar to or better than control diet and decreased myocardial [Na+]i to control levels. CGP 37157 normalized the PCr/ATP ratio in HFHS hearts. CONCLUSIONS Elevated myocardial [Na+]i contributes to mitochondrial and contractile dysfunction in DCMP. Targeting myocardial [Na+]i and/or NCXMITO may be an effective strategy in DCMP and other forms of heart disease associated with elevated myocardial [Na+]i.

[PMID: 36337893 PMCID: PMC9630656 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1018841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetic cardiomyopathy is one of the most life-threatening diabetic complications. However, the previous studies only discuss a particular aspect or characteristic of DCM, the current state and trends were explored by limited research. We aimed to perform a systemically bibliometric study of DCM research progress status in the past decade, visualize the internal conceptual structure and potential associations, and further explore the prospective study trends. Methods Articles related to DCM published from January 2012 to December 2021 were collected in the Web of Science core collection (WoSCC) database on June 24, 2022. We exported all bibliographic records, including titles, abstracts, keywords, authorship, institutions, addresses, publishing sources, references, citation times, and year of publication. In addition, the journal Impact Factor and Hirsch index were obtained from the Journal Citation Report. We conducted the data screening, statistical analysis, and visualization via the Bibliometrix R package. VOS viewer software was employed to generate the collaboration network map among countries and institutions for better performance in visualization. Results In total, 1,887 original research articles from 2012 to 2021 were identified. The number of annual publications rapidly increased from 107 to 278, and a drastic increase in citation times was observed in 2017–2019. As for global contributions, the United States was the most influential country with the highest international collaboration, while China was the most productive country. Professor Cai Lu was the most prolific author. Shandong University published the most articles. Cardiovascular Diabetology journal released the most DCM-related articles. “Metabolic Stress-induced Activation of FoxO1 Triggers Diabetic Cardiomyopathy in Mice” Battiprolu PK et al., J Clin Invest, 2012. was the most top-cited article regarding local citations. The top three keywords in terms of frequency were apoptosis, oxidative stress, and fibrosis. The analysis of future topic trends indicated that “Forkhead box protein O1,” “Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction,” “Dapagliflozin,” “Thioredoxin,” “Mitochondria dysfunction,” “Glucose,” “Pyroptosis,” “Cardiac fibroblast” and “Long non-coding RNA” could be promising hotspots. Conclusion This study provides meaningful insights into DCM, which is expected to assist cardiologists and endocrinologists in exploring frontiers and future research directions in the domain through a refined and concise summary.

Therapeutic knockdown of miR-320 improves deteriorated cardiac function in a pre-clinical model of non-ischemic diabetic heart disease. MOLECULAR THERAPY. NUCLEIC ACIDS 2022; 29:330-342. [PMID: 35950211 PMCID: PMC9356207 DOI: 10.1016/j.omtn.2022.07.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Non-ischemic diabetic heart disease (NiDHD) is characterized by diastolic dysfunction and decreased or preserved systolic function, eventually resulting in heart failure. Accelerated apoptotic cell death because of alteration of molecular signaling pathways due to dysregulation in microRNAs (miRNAs) plays a significant role in the development of NiDHD. Here, we aimed to determine the pathological role of cardiomyocyte-enriched pro-apoptotic miR-320 in the development of NiDHD. We identified a marked upregulation of miR-320 that was associated with downregulation of its target protein insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in human right atrial appendage tissue in the late stages of cardiomyopathy in type 2 diabetic db/db mice and high-glucose-cultured human ventricular cardiomyocytes (AC-16 cells). In vitro knockdown of miR-320 in high-glucose-exposed AC-16 cells using locked nucleic acid (LNA) anti-miR-320 markedly reduced high-glucose-induced apoptosis by restoring IGF-1 and Bcl-2. Finally, in vivo knockdown of miR-320 in 24-week-old type 2 diabetic db/db mice reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and interstitial fibrosis while restoring vascular density. This resulted in partial recovery of the impaired diastolic and systolic function. Our study provides evidence that miR-320 is a late-responding miRNA that aggravates apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction in the diabetic heart, and that therapeutic knockdown of miR-320 is beneficial in partially restoring the deteriorated cardiac function.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common disease affecting more than 537 million adults worldwide. The microvascular complications that occur during the course of the disease are widespread and affect a variety of organ systems in the body. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common long-term complications, which include, amongst others, endothelial dysfunction, and thus, alterations in the blood-retinal barrier (BRB). This particularly restrictive physiological barrier is important for maintaining the neuroretina as a privileged site in the body by controlling the inflow and outflow of fluid, nutrients, metabolic end products, ions, and proteins. In addition, people with diabetic retinopathy (DR) have been shown to be at increased risk for systemic vascular complications, including subclinical and clinical stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and nephropathy. DR is, therefore, considered an independent predictor of heart failure. In the present review, the effects of diabetes on the retina, heart, and kidneys are described. In addition, a putative common microRNA signature in diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and heart failure is discussed, which may be used in the future as a biomarker to better monitor disease progression. Finally, the use of miRNA, targeted neurotrophin delivery, and nanoparticles as novel therapeutic strategies is highlighted.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined as the presence in diabetic patients of abnormal cardiac structure and performance (such as left ventricular hypertrophy, fibrosis, and arrhythmia) in the absence of other cardiac risk factors (such as hypertension or coronary artery disease). Although the pathogenesis of DCM remains unclear currently, mitochondrial structural and functional dysfunctions are recognised as a central player in the DCM development. In this review, we focus on the role of mitochondrial dynamics, biogenesis and mitophagy, Ca2+ metabolism and bioenergetics in the DCM development and progression. Based on the crucial role of mitochondria in DCM, application of mitochondria-targeting therapies could be effective strategies to slow down the progression of the disease.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM or T2D) is a devastating metabolic abnormality featured by insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. T2D provokes unique metabolic changes and compromises cardiovascular geometry and function. Meanwhile, T2D increases the overall risk for heart failure (HF) and acts independent of classical risk factors including coronary artery disease, hypertension, and valvular heart diseases. The incidence of HF is extremely high in patients with T2D and is manifested as HF with preserved, reduced, and midrange ejection fraction (HFpEF, HFrEF, and HFmrEF, respectively), all of which significantly worsen the prognosis for T2D. HFpEF is seen in approximately half of the HF cases and is defined as a heterogenous syndrome with discrete phenotypes, particularly in close association with metabolic syndrome. Nonetheless, management of HFpEF in T2D remains unclear, largely due to the poorly defined pathophysiology behind HFpEF. Here, in this review, we will summarize findings from multiple preclinical and clinical studies as well as recent clinical trials, mainly focusing on the pathophysiology, potential mechanisms, and therapies of HFpEF in T2D.
