It concluded that inhibition of xanthine oxidase by oxypurinol in heart failure patients improved left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with LVEF less than or equal to 40% after 1 month of treatment.24 The findings in the current study are parallel with the results of the cited trial24 and means that the reduction in reactive oxygen species with allopurinol can have favourable effects on cardiac hypertrophy without the requirement of reducing blood pressure.

A pharmacological study performed in a rat model demonstrated that PXL770 administration (75 mg/kg bid) did not induce cardiac hypertrophy after 16 weeks of treatment in toxicological studies and no adverse effects of cardiac hypertrophy or accumulation of glycogen in the myocardium were detected at 1000 mg/kg dosing during 13 weeks of PXL770 treatment.

(3) Although there is a need for more substantiation and current evidence is mostly anecdotal, emerging consensus supports an association of AAS abuse with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death, myocardial infarction, abnormal lipid profile, and cardiac hypertrophy. (4) Cardiovascular responses to AAS are due to certain myocardial receptors that have transcriptional regulatory functions.
