“We started working on the idea three years ago, and we worked initially on experimental animals and then the last stage was testing the nano-based drug on humans,” professor Azhar said.
He added the idea was how to make a drug that strengthens the cardiac muscle and make the heart pump more effectively.
“Before we started experiments on animals, animals were made to become overweight and exposed to certain food assimilation diseases to weaken their heart muscle, and increase blood pressure in their arteries. On applying the drug to the animals, we found after several tests, that it improved the cardiac muscle, bettered blood flow and decreased the blood pressure.
Cardiovascular diseases represent the first cause of morbidity in Western countries, and, although in recent years substantial strides have been made in treatment strategies, mortality still remains high.
