Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the most significant global health concern. Despite notable advancements in diagnosis and prevention, CVD persists as a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide.??

?

Heart failure is one of the heart diseases with the highest morbidity in Germany and worldwide. Every year, over 300,000 people suffer a heart attack in Germany alone. However, as the survival rate after myocardial infarction or heart failure has improved enormously in recent decades, various comorbidities have become much more common.?
?

Currently, there are no curative treatments for preventing or slowing the progression of heart failure associated target organ damage.?

Heart failure-associated brain dysfunction?


?

Over the past decade, medical advancements have significantly improved the survival rates for heart attacks. Yet, this extension in longevity might come at a cost as HF induces a chronic reduction in cerebral perfusion that negatively impacts patient prognosis and clinical outcome. Such chronic brain perfusion deficits are frequently accompanied by cognitive decline, which seriously impacts the patients’ quality of life, their ability to cope with their primary disease (e.g.,?through reduced treatment compliance), and have substantial social effects on families, friends, and society at large. Statistically, cognitive impairment is 5 times more prevalent in HF patients relative to the age-matched general population. To date, no curative treatments or strategies for preventing or slowing of cognitive decline associated with HF exist, which is mainly due to the lack of knowledge regarding the mechanisms underlying HF-mediated brain complications. Thus, new approaches to addressing this are urgently needed.?

Heart failure-mediated pulmonary distress?


?

Cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases are an enormous health burden worldwide accounting for 4 of the top 6 causes of death according to the World Health Organization. Existing therapies can only slow down disease progression and therefore, new solutions are urgently needed. Traditionally, both are regarded separate entities but increasing evidence shows that the existing link between chronic cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases is largely underestimated and thus, integrated approaches toward deciphering this link on a molecular level are urgently needed.?
