Angiogenic Endothelial Cell Signaling in Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure

Abstract: Endothelial cells are, by number, one of the most abundant cell types in the heart and active players in cardiac physiology and pathology. Coronary angiogenesis plays a vital role in maintaining cardiac vascularization and perfusion during physiological and pathological hypertrophy. On the other hand, a reduction in cardiac capillary density with subsequent tissue hypoxia, cell death and interstitial fibrosis contributes to the development of contractile dysfunction and heart failure, as suggested by clinical … Show more

“…This heterogeneity could contribute to the variability of outcomes seen post-myocardial infarction in our patient population (81,82). Additionally, areas of myocardial damage after infarction are known to undergo angiogenesis in response to chronic hypoxic stress associated with subsequent fibrosis formation (82,83). Therefore, the formation of the coronary vasculature and its associated microvasculature could be of significant clinical importance.…”

“…Cardiac hypertrophy (CH) represents an adaptive response of the heart to an increased workload, and is also a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular mortality worldwide 1 . A multitude of factors, such as thyroid disorders, weakening of heart muscles, abnormal heart beat, protein deposition in the heart, mutations in sarcomeric proteins, and anemia, are known to contribute to CH 2 .…”

“…Heart failure (HF), a global pandemic present in 1-2% of the adult population, is caused by pathological changes in structural and/or functional properties of the cardiomyocytes, cardiac interstitium, or both [1,2]. Apart from pure haemodynamic overload, the progression of HF involves abnormal biochemical signalling of neurohormones, inflammatory cytokines and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK), culminating into aberrant cardiac vascularisation and maladaptive left ventricular remodelling [2][3][4].…”
