Methods and compositions for prevention and treatment of cardiac hypertrophy

1. A method of treating heart failure of any cause in a mammalian subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an ion channel TRPV1 inhibitor, with the proviso that if the heart failure is caused by acute myocardial ischemia, the administering of the ion channel TRPV1 inhibitor occurs after the therapeutic window for protection from acute myocardial ischemia.
