Abstract
Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome with a detrimental impact on mortality and morbidity. Energy substrate utilization and myocardial ion channel regulation have gained research interest especially after the introduction of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in the treatment of heart failure. Ranolazine or N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2-(4-[2-hydroxy-3-(2-methoxyphenoxy) propyl] piperazin-1-yl) acetamide hydrochloride is an active piperazine derivative which inhibits late sodium current thus minimizing calcium overload in the ischemic cardiomyocytes. Ranolazine also prevents fatty acid oxidation and favors glycose utilization ameliorating the "energy starvation" of the failing heart. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is characterized by diastolic impairment; according to the literature ranolazine could be beneficial in the management of increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, right ventricular systolic dysfunction and wall shear stress which is reflected by the high natriuretic peptides. Fewer data is evident regarding the effects of ranolazine in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and mainly support the control of the sodium-calcium exchanger and function of sarcoendoplasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase. Ranolazine's therapeutic mechanisms in myocardial ion channels and energy utilization are documented in patients with chronic coronary syndromes. Nevertheless, ranolazine might have a broader effect in the therapy of heart failure and further mechanistic research is required.

Abstract
This article evaluates the efficacy of using ranolazine to improve diastolic performance and exercise capacity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. A comprehensive literature review found eight trials where there are no significant difference in peak O2 (p=0.09) and exercise duration (p=0.18) between ranolazine and placebo. The ranolazine group had significantly higher and better diastolic parameters compared to placebo, with a mean difference of 0.45 (95% CI [27.18-39.50]). There were no significant differences for haemodynamic parameters (blood pressure and heart rate) and electrocardiography (QT interval) between ranolazine and placebo. The review found that ranolazine has good wefficacy to improve diastolic performance among heart failure with preserved ejection fraction patients and it does not affect blood pressure, heart rate and rate of ventricular repolarisation (shortening of the QT interval).

Abstract
Cancer patients are at an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Both old-generation cytostatics/cytotoxics and new-generation "targeted" drugs can in fact damage cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells of veins and arteries, specialized cells of the conduction system, pericardium, and valves. A new discipline, cardio-oncology, has therefore developed with the aim of protecting cancer patients from cardiovascular events, while also providing them with the best possible oncologic treatment. Anthracyclines have long been known to elicit cardiotoxicity that, depending on treatment- or patient-related factors, may progress with a variable velocity toward cardiomyopathy and systolic heart failure. However, early compromise of diastolic function may precede systolic dysfunction, and a progression of early diastolic dysfunction to diastolic rather than systolic heart failure has been documented in long-term cancer survivors. This chapter first describes general notions about hypertension in the cancer patient and then moves on reviewing the pathophysiology and clinical trajectories of diastolic dysfunction, and the molecular mechanisms of anthracycline-induced diastolic dysfunction. Diastolic dysfunction can in fact be caused and/or aggravated by hypertension. Pharmacologic foundations and therapeutic opportunities to prevent or treat diastolic dysfunction before it progresses toward heart failure are also reviewed, with a special emphasis on the mechanisms of action of drugs that raised hopes to treat diastolic dysfunction in the general population (sacubitril/valsartan, guanylyl cyclase activators, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, ranolazine, inhibitors of type-2 sodium-glucose-inked transporter). Cardio-oncologists will be confronted with the risk:benefit ratio of using these drugs in the cancer patient.

Abstract
Cancer therapeutics related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) has emerged as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. Effective clinical management of CTRCD is impeded by a lack of sensitive diagnostic and prognostic strategies. Circulating molecular markers could potentially address this need as they are often indicative of cardiac stress before cardiac damage can be detected clinically. A growing understanding of the underlying physiological mechanisms for CTRCD has inspired research efforts to identify novel pathophysiologically-relevant biomarkers that may also guide development of cardio-protective therapeutic approaches. The purpose of this review is to evaluate current circulating biomarkers of cardiac stress and their potential role in diagnosis and management of CTRCD. We also discuss some emerging avenues for CTRCD-focused biomarker investigations.

Abstract
Chemotherapy and targeted therapies have significantly improved the prognosis of oncology patients. However, these antineoplastic treatments may also induce adverse cardiovascular effects, which may lead to acute or delayed onset of cardiac dysfunction. These common cardiovascular complications, commonly referred to as cardiotoxicity, not only may require the modification, suspension, or withdrawal of life-saving antineoplastic therapies, with the risk of reducing their efficacy, but can also strongly impact the quality of life and overall survival, regardless of the oncological prognosis. The onset of cardiotoxicity may depend on the class, dose, route, and duration of administration of anticancer drugs, as well as on individual risk factors. Importantly, the cardiotoxic side effects may be reversible, if cardiac function is restored upon discontinuation of the therapy, or irreversible, characterized by injury and loss of cardiac muscle cells. Subclinical myocardial dysfunction induced by anticancer therapies may also subsequently evolve in symptomatic congestive heart failure. Hence, there is an urgent need for cardioprotective therapies to reduce the clinical and subclinical cardiotoxicity onset and progression and to limit the acute or chronic manifestation of cardiac damages. In this review, we summarize the knowledge regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to the onset of cardiotoxicity associated with common classes of chemotherapy and targeted therapy drugs. Furthermore, we describe and discuss current and potential strategies to cope with the cardiotoxic side effects as well as cardioprotective preventive approaches that may be useful to flank anticancer therapies.

[PMID: 35332076 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.122.001101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Diastolic dysfunction (DD) was reported to precede heart failure (HF) in cancer patients treated with chemotherapy. We aimed at defining risk versus dose relationships and risk predictors in cancer patients treated mainly with anthracyclines. Data from 67 comorbid-free patients (60 treated with anthracyclines, 7 with nonanthracycline chemotherapy) were retrospectively incorporated in a mathematical function that correlated DD risk with experimental indices of anthracycline accumulation in human myocardium. Risk was calculated for all patients and for subgroups stratified by intertreatment levels of the endogenous cardiac relaxant agent, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Grade I DD (impaired relaxation) occurred in 14/67 patients and 5% risk doses were much lower for DD than HF (mg of anthracycline/m2: 210 versus 470 or 190 versus 450 for all patients or anthracycline-treated patients in isolation, respectively, P=<0.01 for DD versus HF). Patients with transient BNP elevations showed the lowest 5% risk dose (150 mg/m2) while patients with persistent elevations showed the highest risk dose (280 mg/m2, P<0.05). Patients with or without DD were similar for systemic and cardiac exposure to anthracyclines; however, high risk patients with transient BNP elevations and DD were older and presented at baseline with lower indices of transmitral flow. In conclusion, DD risk develops after lower anthracycline doses than HF and intertreatment levels of BNP help to identify patients with high or low DD risk. These findings are of potential value to monitor or treat the cancer patient at risk of DD. Significance Statement Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is an early manifestation of cardiotoxicity from anthracyclines and nonanthracycline chemotherapeutics. We show that merging preclinical characterization of cardiac anthracycline accumulation with clinical data from patients treated primarily with anthracyclines identifies DD risk from very low anthracycline doses. DD risk is associated with older age, baseline diastolic indices toward the lower limit of normal, and transient intertreatment elevations of the endogenous cardiac relaxant agent, B-type natriuretic peptide. These findings have numerous pharmacological implications.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is a significant public health problem with high mortality and morbidity. Extensive scientific investigations from basic sciences to clinics revealed multilevel alterations from metabolic imbalance, altered electrophysiology, and defective Ca2+/Na+ homeostasis leading to lethal arrhythmias. Despite the recent identification of numerous molecular targets with potential therapeutic interest, a pragmatic observation on the current pharmacological R&D output confirms the lack of new therapeutic offers to patients. By contrast, from recent trials, molecules initially developed for other fields of application have shown cardiovascular benefits, as illustrated with some anti-diabetic agents, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes, emphasizing the clear advantage of “old” drug repositioning. Ranolazine is approved as an antianginal agent and has a favorable overall safety profile. This drug, developed initially as a metabolic modulator, was also identified as an inhibitor of the cardiac late Na+ current, although it also blocks other ionic currents, including the hERG/Ikr K+ current. The latter actions have been involved in this drug’s antiarrhythmic effects, both on supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias (VA). However, despite initial enthusiasm and promising development in the cardiovascular field, ranolazine is only authorized as a second-line treatment in patients with chronic angina pectoris, notwithstanding its antiarrhythmic properties. A plausible reason for this is the apparent difficulty in linking the clinical benefits to the multiple molecular actions of this drug. Here, we review ranolazine’s experimental and clinical knowledge on cardiac metabolism and arrhythmias. We also highlight advances in understanding novel effects on neurons, the vascular system, skeletal muscles, blood sugar control, and cancer, which may open the way to reposition this “old” drug alone or in combination with other medications.

Abstract
Advances in cancer treatments have improved clinical outcomes, leading to an increasing population of cancer survivors. However, this success is associated with high rates of short- and long-term cardiovascular (CV) toxicities. The number and variety of cancer drugs and CV toxicity types make long-term care a complex undertaking. This requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes expertise in oncology, cardiology and other related specialties, and has led to the development of the cardio-oncology subspecialty. This paper aims to provide an overview of the main adverse events, risk assessment and risk mitigation strategies, early diagnosis, medical and complementary strategies for prevention and management, and long-term follow-up strategies for patients at risk of cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicities. Research to better define strategies for early identification, follow-up and management is highly necessary. Although the academic cardio-oncology community may be the best vehicle to foster awareness and research in this field, additional stakeholders (industry, government agencies and patient organizations) must be involved to facilitate cross-discipline interactions and help in the design and funding of cardio-oncology trials. The overarching goals of cardio-oncology are to assist clinicians in providing optimal care for patients with cancer and cancer survivors, to provide insight into future areas of research and to search for collaborations with industry, funding bodies and patient advocates. However, many unmet needs remain. This document is the product of brainstorming presentations and active discussions held at the Cardiovascular Round Table workshop organized in January 2020 by the European Society of Cardiology.

Abstract
This review attempts to examine two key elements in the evolution of cognitive impairment in the elderly who develop heart failure. First, major left side heart parts can structurally and functionally deteriorate from aging wear and tear to provoke hemodynamic instability where heart failure worsens or is initiated; second, heart failure is a major inducer of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease in the elderly. In heart failure, when the left ventricular myocardium of an elderly person does not properly contract, it cannot pump out adequate blood to the brain, raising the risk of cognitive impairment due to the intensification of chronic brain hypoperfusion. Chronic brain hypoperfusion originates from chronically reduced cardiac output which progresses as heart failure worsens. Other left ventricular heart parts, including atrium, valves, myocardium, and aorta can contribute to the physiological shortfall of cardiac output. It follows that hemodynamic instability and perfusion changes occurring from the aging heart's blood pumping deficiency will, in time, damage vulnerable brain cells linked to specific cognitive regulatory sites, diminishing neuronal energy metabolism to a level where progressive cognitive impairment is the outcome. Could cognitive impairment progress be reversed with a heart transplant? Evidence is presented detailing the errant hemodynamic pathways leading to cognitive impairment during aging as an offshoot of inefficient structural and functional heart parts and their contribution to heart failure.
