Key result
Catestatin regulates cardiovascular function by modulating blood pressure, baroreflex sensitivity, and myocardial protection.
Why the study?
The role of catestatin as a key regulator of cardiovascular functions and its impact on hypertension and heart failure requires comprehensive elucidation.
Population
Patients with cardiovascular disease, essential hypertension, heart failure, and CgA knockout mice

Catestatin is a key peptide in regulating cardiovascular functions, offering potential therapeutic insights for hypertension and heart failure.
Mahata et al. (2017) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and heart failure. Catestatin (CST) was evaluated. Catestatin acts as a master regulator of cardiovascular functions by modulating blood pressure, baroreflex sensitivity, and providing cardioprotection in the failing myocardium.
