Implication

Multi-target calcium modulation merits clinical evaluation in HF; extends mechanistic synthesis but leaves translation open pending trials.

PICO

Population

Heart failure

Restoration of balanced cytosolic calcium cycling holds therapeutic potential to reverse pathological myocardial remodeling in heart failure.

Limitations

Translational bottlenecks limiting single-target interventions
Promising cardioprotective observations from pre-clinical animal models have not been fully translated into clinical practice
