Future clinical development will be able to clearly outline the role this agent will play in the future.Cellular death and survival signaling plays a key role in the progress of adverse cardiac remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Therapeutic strategies, such as co-treatment with beta-blocker carvedilol and thyroid hormones (THs), give rise to new approaches that can sustain the cellular homeostasis after AMI. Therefore, we sought to investigate the effects of carvedilol and TH co-administration on apoptosis and survival proteins and on cardiac remodeling after AMI. Male Wistar rats were distributed in 5 groups as follows sham-operated group (SHAM), infarcted group (MI), infarcted plus carvedilol group (MI+C), infarcted plus TH group (MI+TH), and infarcted plus carvedilol and TH co-treatment group (MI+C+TH). Echocardiographic analysis was performed, and hearts were collected for western blot evaluation. The MI group presented systolic posterior wall thickness loss, an increase in the wall tension index, and an increase in atrial natriuretic peptide tissue levels than the SHAM group. However, in the MI+C+TH group, these parameters were equally to the SHAM group. Moreover, whereas the MI group showed Bax protein expression elevated in relation to the SHAM group, the MI+C+TH group presented Bax reduction and also Akt activation compared with the MI group. In addition, the MI+TH group revealed beta-1 adrenergic receptor (β1AR) upregulation compared with the MI and MI+C groups, whereas the MI+C+TH group presented lower levels of β1AR in relation to the SHAM and MI+TH groups. In conclusion, we suggest that carvedilol and TH co-
