Figure 3 Future research directions in hepatitis C virus-related cardiomyopathy.
Research priorities include elucidating pathogenic mechanisms to enable the development of targeted therapies, validating early-detection biomarkers (e.g., Mac-2 binding protein glycan isomer, Angiopoietin-2), and ultimately improving global access to direct-acting antiviral agents. These strategies align with the World Health Organization’s goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030. Ang2: Angiopoietin-2; DDA: Direct-acting antiviral agent; M2BPGi: Mac-2 binding protein glycan isomer; WHO: World Health Organization.
