Regulation of ferroptosis and mitochondrial homeostasis disruption in diabetic cardiomyopathy: Therapeutic potential of traditional Chinese medicine. World J Diabetes 2026; In press Core Tip: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is often clinically silent until heart failure develops, and disease-specific therapies remain unavailable. This review examines the interaction between ferroptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in DCM, linking iron dyshomeostasis, reactive oxygen species overload, impaired antioxidant defenses, and disrupted mitochondrial quality control. We compare evidence and limitations of glucose-lowering drugs, mechanism-targeted approaches (iron chelators and mitochondrial protectants), and multi-target traditional Chinese medicine and bioactive compounds. We propose that combination strategies co-targeting ferroptosis and mitochondrial pathways, particularly multi-target traditional Chinese medicine and its bioactive compounds, may offer a promising approach for more effective and individualized DCM treatment. |
