At present, the treatments of myocardial infarction mainly focus on the recanalization of the occluded coronary artery to restore perfusion and prevent myocardial necrosis. To do this, commonly used methods include drug therapy, thrombolytic therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Drug therapiesTraditional drug therapies include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), aldosterone receptor antagonists, β-receptor blockers, and so on [1][2][3] . The main purpose of these treatments is the prevention of left ventricular remodeling. Thrombolytic therapy ABSTRACTMyocardial infarction is due to lasting and serious myocardial ischemia that leads to myocardial necrosis and cardiac remodeling, and can consequently result in heart failure. Traditional treatment for myocardial infarction includes drug therapy, thrombolytic therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Although these treatments can to some extent relieve the symptom of myocardial ischemia, they fail to repair the necrotic heart tissues. Myocardial regeneration is undoubtedly the best solution to the clinical problems of myocardial infarction treatment. The review briefly illustrated the pros and cons of the traditional treatments of myocardial infarction, and focused on the application of new strategies for myocardial infarction treatment using myocardial regeneration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
