Abstract
Aim:
To study the effect of Rhodiola rosea injection on cardiac function and the reninangiotensin-
aldosterone system (RASS) in rats with chronic heart failure
Background:
Rhodiola rosea injection, a traditional Chinese medication for relieving blood stasis and
improving blood circulation, is an excellent therapeutic for treating coronary heart disease-angina pectoris.
Rhodiola rosea injection's major component, salidroside, protects the cardiovascular system. But there
isn't much first-hand evidence about how injectable Rhodiola rosea affects heart failure
Objectives:
In this study, a rat model of heart failure was established, and the effect of Rhodiola
rosea injection on myocardial cell morphology, cardiac function, and ventricular remodelling in
rats with heart failure was investigated.
Methods:
66 SD male rats were selected; 10 were randomly selected as a blank control group, and
56 were treated intraperitoneally with doxorubicin (4 g/g). After 6 weeks, all animals had LVEF
60%. Established a heart failure model. Each group had 14 rats: model control, low-dose, mediumdose,
and high-dose Rhodiola rosea injection. The 2mL/kg of Rhodiola rosea injection was injected
into the tail vein once a day for 2 weeks. Both the blank and control groups received normal daily
saline. After 2 weeks, the echocardiographic index, RASS-related index, and serum BNP level
were assessed in all rats, and myocardial tissue morphology was observed. MiRNA423-5p, miRNA499-
5p, and miRNA210-3p were extracted from peripheral blood. Rhodiola rosea injection on
its expression was compared to healthy control rats.
Results:
6 mL/kg Rhodiola rosea injection lowered LVEDV and LVESV while increasing LVEF
and LVFS. Injections of 6 mL/kg Rhodiola rosea reduce plasma levels of miR-210-3p, miR-423-
5p, miRNA-499, and BNP in heart failure model rats. The 6 mL/kg Rhodiola rosea injection can
restore the RASS indexes of heart failure rats to the level of the normal group.
Conclusion:
The present study offers preliminary evidence supporting the use of Rhodiola rosea
injection in the treatment of heart failure and offers a solid foundation for clinical off-label medication
use.
