Hypothesis-generating for NHE-1 inhibition in post-MI remodeling; leaves open translation to human heart failure therapy.
Does the NHE-1 inhibitor EMD-87580 reverse hypertrophy and heart failure in a rat model of post-myocardial infarction?
NHE-1 inhibition with EMD-87580 attenuates and reverses postinfarction remodeling and heart failure in rats, even when treatment is delayed up to 4 weeks.
Chen et al. (2004) studied this question.
