Endonovo Reports Pre-Clinical Data Demonstrating Immunotronics™ Reduced Infarct Size and Inhibited Fibrosis following Myocardial Infarction
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: ENDV) ("Endonovo" or the "Company"
,
a commercial-stage developer of non-invasive wearable Electroceutical™ devices, today announced positive results from a study of post-myocardial infarction remodeling in mice.
In the study, animals treated with the Company's non-invasive medical device one or two times per day for 28 days had significantly smaller (by 36.4%, p<0.01) infarcts versus the controls. Furthermore, animals treated with Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) one or two times per day for 28 days demonstrated significantly less cardiac fibrosis than the controls.
Blood levels of Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), a hormone secreted by cardiomyocytes in the heart in response to volume expansion and pressure overload, were significantly higher in animals treated two times per day with PEMF versus the controls. Natriuretic peptides have been shown to be Cardioprotective, anti-fibrotic and paracrine regulators of vascular regeneration. The Company is currently conducting a follow-up study to elucidate a possible mechanism of action of PEMF treatment. Specifically, the Company is examining if PEMF treatment promotes cardiomyocyte survival and wound repair (angiogenesis), and inhibits excessive inflammation in the infarcted heart.
The Company had previously announced initial pre-clinical data demonstrating Immunotronics™ significantly improved cardiac function, including ejection fraction and fractional shortening, and reduced ventricular remodeling in infarcted animals following myocardial infarction.
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) includes infarct expansion and hypertrophy of the non-infarcted myocardium, fibrosis, LV chamber dilatation, LV functional deterioration and progression to heart failure. Treatments targeting the remodeling process, such as beta-blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors have been shown to improve LV function as well as long term survival. However, a slow progression to chronic heart failure continues with large transmural MI as the loss of infarcted tissue and volume overload (chamber dilation) is often out of proportion to the hypertrophic response. Therefore, new treatments that can further improve the remodeling process are critical for preventing heart failure following MI.
"We are truly astounded by the results of this study to evaluate the effectiveness of our Electroceuticals in improving heart function and reducing ventricular remodeling following MI," stated Endonovo CEO, Alan Collier.
"Our team has seen the benefits of non-invasive Electroceuticals in a clinical setting in patients with end-stage ischemic heart disease using our 27.12 MHz tPEMF platform. We have now taken over twenty years of research and development and have created a new technology that we believe is a more effective treatment for cardiovascular disease."
"We believe bioelectronic medicine is the future and our non-invasive Electroceuticals™ are at the forefront of this emerging field of medicine seeking to treat some of our largest causes of death, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease with technology rather than drugs," concluded Mr. Collier.
The Company has posted an updated presentation containing the results of its pre-clinical study on the Presentations section of its website.
