Novel Drug Targets for the Treatment of Cardiac Diseases

Conclusion: The global quest for new molecular targets for the treatment of cardiac diseases is leading to an impressive amount of records in the more recent literature. Although several promising molecular pathways have been identified so far, great caution should be used in considering all these targets effective in promoting the production of new drugs. The identification of suitable therapeutic targets is in fact an ongoing challenge that often lacks enough pre-clinical and clinical studies, which hinders the effective utilization of several new drugs due to a lack of efficacy or induction of safety liabilities.
