Reducing infarct size to prevent ischemic heart failure in patients with acute myocardial infarction is a known challenge for clinical cardiologists, and few drugs meet this challenge. In our new podcast Associate Editor Masafumi Kitakaze interviews lead author Shinya Minatoguchi (Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu, Japan) and expert Tetsuji Miura (Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan) about the innovative new work by Yamada et al which used liposomal erythropoietin therapy to reduce infarct size in a rabbit heart model. Can this relatively non-invasive drug delivery method become an effective way to reduce infarct size in acute MI human patients? Listen now.

Thursday Apr 25, 2013
Can diabetes treatments also protect the heart? In our latest podcast we explore the work by Takahashi et al, which examined what a DPP-IV inhibitors will do at the level of the heart. Associate Editor Gary Lopaschuk interviews lead author Masanori Asakura (National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan) and expert Zam Kassiri (University of Alberta) about this exciting new work which pulls together aspects of metabolism, heart failure, anti-diabetic agents and cardioprotection. Listen and learn more.
