    <p>De acordo com o <italic>American College of Cardiology</italic> , a S&#237;ndrome de Insufici&#234;ncia Card&#237;aca (IC) &#233; definida como uma s&#237;ndrome cl&#237;nica complexa que resulta de qualquer comprometimento estrutural ou funcional do enchimento ventricular ou da eje&#231;&#227;o de sangue.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> O agente etiol&#243;gico da s&#237;ndrome cl&#237;nica da IC pode ter diferentes origens, as quais impactam no progn&#243;stico e imp&#245;em a necessidade de estrat&#233;gias de tratamento espec&#237;ficas. Deve-se ressaltar a relev&#226;ncia de dados espec&#237;ficos para enfatizar essas diferen&#231;as na IC, incluindo sua evolu&#231;&#227;o temporal.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> Esta vis&#227;o &#233; similar &#224; atual diretriz brasileira para IC.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup> Apesar da melhora no tratamento e gest&#227;o da IC, com uma redu&#231;&#227;o na taxa de mortalidade geral ao longo do tempo,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> o n&#250;mero de mortes e os custos econ&#244;micos ainda s&#227;o altos. Em 2014, uma revis&#227;o profunda, incluindo 197 pa&#237;ses, mostrou que o custo econ&#244;mico global da IC em 2012 foi estimado em US $ 108 bilh&#245;es por ano.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> &#201; importante ressaltar que os gastos da IC foram muito diferentes em pa&#237;ses de alta, m&#233;dia e baixa renda.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> Por exemplo, entre 2014-2020, os custos m&#233;dicos totais medianos anuais para atendimento &#224; insufici&#234;ncia card&#237;aca foram estimados em US $ 24.383 por paciente nos Estados Unidos da Am&#233;rica,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> enquanto no Brasil em 2015, o custo m&#233;dio por paciente com IC foi de 1569 US $, considerando a taxa de c&#226;mbio de 2015.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup> O alto custo por paciente provavelmente est&#225; relacionado &#224; falta de terapias eficazes para melhorar a sa&#250;de humana durante a IC. Ent&#227;o, desvendar as bases moleculares da remodela&#231;&#227;o card&#237;aca encontrada na doen&#231;a &#233; um dos principais desafios da medicina cardiovascular.</p>
    <p>Nos &#250;ltimos anos, avan&#231;os significativos na compreens&#227;o dos mecanismos moleculares da hipertrofia compensada e descompensada e da insufici&#234;ncia card&#237;aca em resposta aos sinais de estresse mostraram que muitos fatores extracelulares e vias de sinaliza&#231;&#227;o est&#227;o envolvidos na remodela&#231;&#227;o dos cardiomi&#243;citos, as c&#233;lulas contr&#225;teis funcionais encontradas no tecido card&#237;aco. Como o curso da IC &#233; etiol&#243;gico-dependente, &#233; fundamental entender como a s&#237;ndrome de IC se desenvolve em diferentes modelos. Por exemplo, a din&#226;mica intracelular do Ca<sup>2</sup> &#233; modificada nas diferentes etiologias de IC com fra&#231;&#227;o de eje&#231;&#227;o reduzida (HFrEF) ou preservada (HFpEF). Em modelos animais de HFpEF e HFrEF diab&#233;ticos ou hipertensos, os estudos mostraram que a magnitude e a cin&#233;tica da libera&#231;&#227;o de Ca<sup>2</sup>permanecem inalteradas em ambos os modelos de HFpEF, mas prejudicadas em HFrEF. Embora a densidade da prote&#237;na Sarco/ret&#237;culo endoplasm&#225;tico Ca<sup>2</sup> adenosina trifosfatase-2a (SERCA) tenha sido reduzida nesses modelos HFrEF e HFpEF, no modelo HFpEF para hipertens&#227;o, isso &#233; compensado pelo aumento da fosforila&#231;&#227;o PLB (Fosfolamban &#233; uma prote&#237;na capaz de modular a SERCA2A), mas n&#227;o em HFrEF e HFpEF diab&#233;ticos, resultando em retardo da recapta&#231;&#227;o de Ca<sup>2</sup> intracelular por SERCA.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
    <p>Um dos modelos animais mais usados para estudar a IC consiste na coloca&#231;&#227;o de uma faixa constritiva de di&#226;metros vari&#225;veis ao redor da aorta ascendente.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> &#201; importante ressaltar que a idade do animal, o di&#226;metro da banda e o posicionamento da constri&#231;&#227;o impactam no desfecho da doen&#231;a. Isso provavelmente explica a variedade de fen&#243;tipos encontrados em estudos b&#225;sicos dispon&#237;veis na literatura. Um dos primeiros estudos usando este modelo descreveu altera&#231;&#245;es morfol&#243;gicas precoces no cora&#231;&#227;o, o qual foi not&#225;vel 2 meses ap&#243;s a bandagem a&#243;rtica com aumento de 80% do peso da massa do ventr&#237;culo esquerdo. A seguir, a literatura explorou v&#225;rios aspectos da s&#237;ndrome de IC usando esse modelo animal. Um dos modelos mais estudados neste cen&#225;rio &#233; o modelo do rato usando uma faixa de prata (0,6&#8211;0,7 mm de di&#226;metro interno) colocada 3 mm distante da raiz da aorta ascendente. Artigos anteriores encontraram mudan&#231;as estruturais no cora&#231;&#227;o logo 3 semanas ap&#243;s o procedimento cir&#250;rgico,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref></sup> e a gravidade da remodela&#231;&#227;o card&#237;aca aumentou ao longo do tempo. No entanto, os autores n&#227;o exploraram as altera&#231;&#245;es estruturais do cora&#231;&#227;o mais tardiamente no modelo experimental em seu estudo seminal. Como o est&#225;gio final da s&#237;ndrome de IC pode variar desde os est&#225;gios iniciais, &#233; importante compreender os mecanismos moleculares subjacentes envolvidos na fase cr&#244;nica da IC induzida pela estenose a&#243;rtica.</p>
    <p>A este respeito, o estudo recente de da Silva et al.,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref></sup> avan&#231;ou nesse campo. Usando o mesmo modelo de rato descrito anteriormente, eles relataram que 28 semanas ap&#243;s a estenose a&#243;rtica em ratos foi encontrada na avalia&#231;&#227;o ecocardiogr&#225;fica, atenua&#231;&#227;o significativa da fra&#231;&#227;o de encurtamento e da fra&#231;&#227;o de eje&#231;&#227;o do ventr&#237;culo esquerdo, juntamente com o aumento do di&#226;metro diast&#243;lico do ventr&#237;culo esquerdo, um achado comum em v&#225;rios modelos animais de IC.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref></sup> De fato, usando ensaio isolado do m&#250;sculo papilar do ventr&#237;culo esquerdo, eles descobriram no ensaio de contra&#231;&#227;o p&#243;s-repouso cl&#225;ssico que o m&#250;sculo papilar tinha capacidade mec&#226;nica reduzida em compara&#231;&#227;o com o grupo de controle usando baixa concentra&#231;&#227;o de c&#225;lcio extracelular. Uma vez que os n&#237;veis de c&#225;lcio foram aumentados, os valores foram semelhantes aos do grupo controle, sugerindo preju&#237;zo na din&#226;mica do Ca <sup>2</sup> no grupo experimental, como &#233; esperado durante a IC. Foi curioso que o n&#237;vel de express&#227;o do canal de c&#225;lcio do tipo L foi avaliado, ele foi encontrado aumentado no grupo experimental, o que n&#227;o est&#225; de acordo com o ensaio do m&#250;sculo papilar. No entanto, &#233; importante destacar que prote&#237;nas auxiliares adicionais d&#227;o origem &#224; fun&#231;&#227;o do canal de c&#225;lcio tipo L in vivo, e essas prote&#237;nas podem modular a fun&#231;&#227;o do canal.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref></sup> Assim, estudos funcionais usando a t&#233;cnica de patch-clamp podem revelar esse resultado aparentemente contradit&#243;rio. Al&#233;m disso, os autores descobriram que o n&#237;vel de express&#227;o da principal bomba de extrus&#227;o citoplasm&#225;tica de Ca<sup>2</sup> encontrada nos cardiomi&#243;citos, a SERCA2A, estava aumentada. No entanto, a propor&#231;&#227;o fosforilada de fosfolambam (PLB) na treonina-17 sobre o n&#237;vel de PLB total foi atenuada. A PLB fosforilada em treonina-17 pode aumentar a atividade de SERCA2A. Assim, o resultado indica extrus&#227;o prejudicada do c&#225;lcio citoplasm&#225;tico nos cardiomi&#243;citos, como encontrado em outros modelos de IC.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref></sup> Na verdade, o resultado est&#225; bem alinhado com o aumento do tempo de decaimento do Ca<sup>2</sup> avaliado em cardiomi&#243;citos isolados carregados com experimentos fura-2AM. Portanto, independentemente da etiologia da insufici&#234;ncia card&#237;aca, arritmias ventriculares s&#227;o frequentemente observadas e refletidas em um dist&#250;rbio uniforme da homeostase do Ca<sup>2</sup>. O efeito bif&#225;sico observado da atividade SERCA sobre a propens&#227;o de ondas arritmog&#234;nicas de Ca<sup>2</sup> adiciona detalhes importantes para um melhor entendimento da homeostase do Ca<sup>2</sup> em diferentes modelos card&#237;acos.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
    <p>Assim, futuras investiga&#231;&#245;es estudando o modelo animal na evolu&#231;&#227;o temporal da doen&#231;a podem contribuir significativamente para a compreens&#227;o dos mecanismos moleculares envolvidos no desenvolvimento da insufici&#234;ncia card&#237;aca.</p>

      <p>According to the American College of Cardiology, Heart Failure (HF) Syndrome is defined as a complex clinical syndrome that results from any structural or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection of blood.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> The etiological agent of the clinical syndrome of HF may result from different causes, which impact the prognosis and impose the necessity for specific treatment strategies, underlining the relevance of specific data elements for emphasizing these differences in HF, including the time course evolution of HF.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> This view is similar to the current Brazilian guideline for HF.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup> Despite improvement in HF treatment and management, with a reduction in overall mortality rate over time,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> the death number and economic costs are still high. In 2014 a deep revision including 197 countries showed that HF&#8217;s overall global economic cost in 2012 was estimated at $108 billion per annum.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> Importantly, HF spending was largely different in high-income, middle, and low-income countries.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> For example, between 2014-2020, the annual median total medical costs for heart failure care were estimated at $24,383 per patient in the United States of America,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> meanwhile in Brazil in 2015, the average cost per patient with HF was 1,569 US$, taking into account the exchange rate in 2015.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup> The high cost per patient is probably related to the lack of effective therapies to improve human health during HF. Then unveiling the molecular basis of cardiac remodeling found in the disease is one of the main challenges in cardiovascular medicine.</p>
      <p>In the last years, significant advances in understanding molecular mechanisms of adaptive and maladaptive hypertrophy and heart failure in response to stress signals have shown that many extracellular factors and signaling pathways are involved in the remodeling of cardiomyocytes, the working cells found in the heart tissue. Since the time course of HF is etiological-dependent, it is fundamental to understand how the HF syndrome develops. For example, the intracellular dynamics of Ca<sup>2</sup>are modified in the different etiologies of HF with reduced (HFrEF) or preserved (HFpEF) ejection fraction. In animal models of diabetic or hypertensive HFpEF and HFrEF, studies have shown that magnitude and kinetics of Ca<sup>2</sup>release remain unchanged in both HFpEF models but impaired in HFrEF. Although Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca<sup>2</sup>adenosine triphosphatase-2a (SERCA) protein density was reduced in these HFrEF and HFpEF models, in the HFpEF model for hypertension, this is offset by increased PLB phosphorylation (Phospholamban is a protein able to modulate SERCA2A), but not in diabetic HFrEF and HFpEF resulting in delay intracellular Ca<sup>2</sup>reuptake by SERCA.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
      <p>One of the most used animal models to study HF relies on placing a constricting band of variable diameters around the ascending aorta.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> It is important to highlight that animal age, the diameter of the band, and positioning of the constriction impact the outcome of the disease. It probably explains the variety of phenotypes found in basic studies available in the literature. One of the first studies using this model described early morphological changes in the heart, which was remarkable 2 months after aortic banding with 80% of left ventricular mass weight increment. Following, the literature explored several aspects of HF syndrome using this animal model. One of the most studied models in this setting is the rat model using a silver band (0.6&#8211;0.7 mm internal diameter) placed 3 mm around the root of ascending aorta. Previous reports had found structural changes in the heart as early as 3 weeks after the surgery procedure,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref></sup> and the severity of heart remodeling increased over time. However, the authors did not explore the structural heart changes at a later time in their seminal study. Since the end stage of HF syndrome may vary from the initial stages, it is important to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in the chronic phase of HF induced by aortic stenosis.</p>
      <p>In this regard, the recent study by da Silva et al.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref></sup> advanced in that field. Using the same rat model previously described, they reported that 28 weeks after aortic stenosis in rats was found in the echocardiographic evaluation, significant attenuation of fractional shortening and ejection fraction of the left ventricle, along with the enhanced left ventricular diastolic diameter, a common finding in several animal models of HF.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref></sup> Indeed, using isolated left ventricular papillary muscle assay, they found in the classical post rest contraction assay that papillary muscle had reduced mechanical capacity compared to the control group using low extracellular calcium concentration. Once the calcium levels were enhanced, the values were like the control group, suggesting impairment in Ca<sup>2</sup>dynamics in the experimental group, as expected during HF. Intriguing, once the expression level of the L-type calcium channel was evaluated, it was found enhanced in the experimental group, which is not in accordance with papillary muscle assay. However, it is important to highlight that additional auxiliary proteins give rise to the function L-type calcium channel in vivo, and these proteins can modulate the channel function.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref></sup> Thus, functional studies using the patch-clamp technique could uncover this apparently contradictory result. Also, the authors found that the expression level of the main cytoplasmic Ca<sup>2</sup>extrusion pump found in cardiomyocytes, SERCA2A, was increased. However, the phospholamban (PLB) phosphorylated ratio at threonine-17 over the total PLB level was attenuated. PLB phosphorylated at threonine-17 can enhance SERCA2A activity. Thus, the result indicates impaired extrusion of cytoplasmic calcium in cardiomyocytes, as found in other HF models.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref></sup> Indeed, the result is well-aligned with increased time to Ca<sup>2</sup>decay evaluated in isolated cardiomyocytes loaded with Fura-2AM experiments. Therefore, regardless of the etiology of heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias are frequently observed and reflected in a uniform disturbance of Ca<sup>2</sup>homeostasis. The observed biphasic effect of SERCA activity on the propensity of arrhythmogenic Ca<sup>2</sup>waves add important details for a better understanding of Ca<sup>2</sup>homeostasis in different heart models.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
      <p>Thus, future investigation studying the animal model later in the time course of the disease could significantly contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of heart failure.</p>
