| Research Abstract |
Our objective was to determine whether novel strategies to treat heart failure with recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) and a prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) inhibitor that stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) are useful. EPO protected the pressure-overload induced hypertrophied left ventricle in mice by maintaining left ventricular systolic function and improved the survival. The PHD inhibitor failed to demonstrate such a protective effect at least with the doses and treatment period usedin the present study. Further investigations are required to address the issue.
