[Furthermore, IGF-1 treatment induced beneficial effects on cardiac function since treated hamsters presented improved cardiac output and stroke volume, decreased end diastolic pressure when compared to nontreated hamsters and also showed a trend towards increased contractility (dP/dt(max)).This study provides evidence that IGF-1 treatment induces beneficial structural and functional effects on DCM of CHF147 hamsters, hence making this molecule a promising candidate for future gene therapy of heart failure due to DCM.].
