Core Tip
Core Tip: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) is a common and underrecognized complication of diabetes mellitus. The pathobiological mechanisms of DbCM are not fully elusive and the therapeutic options are not adequate. Stages of DbCM include diastolic dysfunction followed by heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction, systolic dysfunction and HF with reduced ejection fraction in its order of progression. Zhang et al, in a recent issue of the World Journal of Diabetes, demonstrate the potential pathophysiological changes of DbcM and explore the therapeutic potential of teneligliptin in mouse models of DbCM. Such experimental models might harness better research efforts to find an appropriate therapeutic strategy for DbCM in the near future.
