ABSTRACT
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has emerged as a condition with high incidence and mortality rates in recent years. Dengzhan Shengmai capsule (DZSMC) is a Chinese patent medicine based on the classic recipe "Shengmai powder". The relevant Chinese medicine ratio of Erigeron breviscapus (Vaniot) Hand.-Mazz., Panax ginseng C.A.Mey., Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill., and Ophiopogon japonicus (Thunb.) Ker Gawl. Is 30 6 6 11. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is being increasingly explored as a safe and effective treatment modality for HFpEF. Clinical studies have shown that DZSMCs can effectively treat heart failure, however, the mechanism of action of DZSMCs in the treatment of HFpEF are still not clear. AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Dengzhan Shengmai capsule (DZSMC), in the treatment of HFpEF by focusing on its ability to treat microvascular inflammation. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

First, the efficacy of DZSMCs against HFpEF was predicted by network pharmacology. After 3 days of adaptive feeding in SPF-grade polypropylene cages, the mice in the Model group, DZSMC group, and Captopli group underwent single kidney resection, and micropumps were implanted in their backs for continuous infusion of aldosterone at a rate of 0.3 µg/h for 4 weeks. Moreover, the mice were given DZSMCs or Captopli via oral gavage for four weeks. Overall, cardiac function was evaluated in mice, and cardiac ultrasound and blood biochemical indices were evaluated in HFpEF mice.

RESULTS:

DZSMCs can ameliorate myocardial hypertrophy and cardiomyocyte damage caused by excessive myocardial stress, ultimately mitigating long-term cardiac impairment; it aids in the restoration of myocardial fibre proliferation and enhances mitochondrial morphology and function. In a murine model of ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction, which are indicative of cardiac insufficiency, the administration of DZSMCs resulted in notable improvements. Echocardiographic and overall assessments of cardiac function revealed a reduction in cardiac dysfunction and ventricular hypertrophy post-DZSMC intervention. Moreover, intervention with DZSMCs led to a reduction in the serum levels of several markers associated with chronic systemic inflammation, such as sST2, IL1RL1, CRP, and IL-6. Simultaneously, the levels of indicators of microvascular inflammation, including VCAM and E-SELECTIN, also decreased following DZSMC intervention. These findings suggest the potential multifaceted impact of DZSMCs in alleviating cardiac abnormalities, mitigating systemic inflammation, and reducing microvascular inflammatory markers, highlighting their promising therapeutic role in managing myocardial health.

CONCLUSIONS:

These results provide novel evidence that DZSMCs improve HFpEF by regulating microvascular inflammation.
