Comparative cardioprotective effects of Kuanxiong Aerosol and its individual components in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction

KXA's cardioprotection stems from the synergistic action of its components targeting ischemia, fibrosis, inflammation, and cardiac dysfunction. This study provides evidence supporting the cardioprotective potential of low-dose, multi-component KXA, indicating that such balanced formulations may offer broader benefits than high-dose or single-agent approaches. Further research is needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and refine the formulation for clinical translation.
