Cardiogen

aka Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg

Immune Modulator

Mechanism

Cardiogen is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg / AEDR) from the Khavinson bioregulator series, studied in Russian preclinical models for potential effects on cardiac-tissue gene expression and cardiomyocyte structural proteins. Not FDA-approved; no Western clinical trials have been performed, and all published evidence originates from a single research group.

Consistent Efficacy of Vutrisiran Across Sexes in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis: Evidence from the HELIOS-B Trial
Mansell J, Wang X, Jering KS, Claggett B, Zaroui A, Ishizu T, Eiros R, Jay PY, Cuddy SAM, Abovich A, Gillmore J, Solomon SD, Fontana M. · European journal of heart failure (2026) ·

Aims Sex differences in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) are increasingly recognised; however, women are underrepresented in trials and sex-specific treatment effects remain incompletely understood. We evaluated sex differences in baseline phenotype, outcomes and vutrisiran response in ATTR-CM.

Screening for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy in patients with musculoskeletal symptoms: Red flags in the rheumatology/orthopedics practice setting
Bardin T, Bigorre N, Hachulla E, Chapurlat R, Delbarre MA, Obert L, Sibilia J, Basseville U, Dubois M, Slama M, Lairez O, Damy T. · Joint bone spine (2026) · review

Musculoskeletal manifestations of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) are common, early in the disease course (usually years before cardiac involvement), and are potentially predictive.

Reduced Native T1 Values of Wrist Tissues in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis
Deux JF, Brugières P, Kharoubi M, Zaroui A, Oghina S, Damy T, Cosson R. · Journal of clinical medicine (2025) ·

Background/Objectives: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) may signal extracardiac amyloid deposition years before transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA). This study investigated potential alterations of wrist tissue T1 values in ATTR-CA patients.
