Abstract

  • The RAS and the IGF-I system interact at multiple levels to regulate physiological and pathological cardiac growth responses.

  • IGF-I promotes growth and survival of cardiac and skeletal muscle which is salutary in heart failure.

  • AngII down regulates circulating and skeletal muscle IGF-I and IGF binding proteins, leading to increased myocardial apoptosis and increased skeletal muscle proteolysis.

  • Preliminary studies reveal significant alterations in the IGF-I system in heart failure.

  • An imbalance between the RAS and the IGF-I system contributes to the progression from compensated to decompensated heart failure.
