Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2023) - Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDL) (TSX: CRDL) ("Cardiol" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage life sciences company focused on the research and clinical development of anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic therapies for the treatment of heart disease, announces positive study results from one of its international collaborating research centers demonstrating that subcutaneously administered cannabidiol, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Cardiol's novel CRD-38 subcutaneous ("SUBQ") formulation, slowed increases in body weight and heart weight, and prevented increases in key cardiac inflammatory and remodelling markers in a model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction ("HFpEF").

- TecSalud is one of the Company's international collaborating research centers working towards the common goal of developing products to advance the treatment of heart diseases.
- The results presented at the HFSA over the weekend demonstrated multiple cardioprotective effects of SUBQ administered cannabidiol and provide additional evidence in support of the development of CRD-38, our novel SUBQ formulation of cannabidiol intended for the treatment of heart failure.
- The poster entitled "Cannabidiol As A Potential Treatment For Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction" was presented on October 7th within the "ePoster Viewing Session III" of HFSA2023.
