Gene therapy offers a promising approach to treating heart failure by targeting molecular changes in the heart. This review explores biochemical derangements, therapeutic targets like the beta-adrenergic receptor system, and gene delivery methods.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Molecular Biology
  • Gene Therapy

Background:

  • Coronary artery disease management has advanced, yet end-stage heart failure morbidity and mortality remain significant.
  • Heart failure, a common endpoint for various diseases, shares molecular-level biochemical similarities in failing myocardium.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common biochemical changes in failing hearts.
  • To discuss novel therapeutic targets for heart failure gene therapy.
  • To explore gene delivery vectors and transfer methodologies for myocardial gene therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on heart failure pathophysiology.
  • Identification of key molecular derangements in failing myocardium.
  • Analysis of potential gene therapy targets and delivery systems.
