Brief accout of stem cell application in treating myocardial infarction / 基础医学与临床

ABSTRACT

Myocardial infarction is one of the main factors causing heart failure and is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality in the developing countries.Due to infracted cardiac muscles,heart function will aggravate and myocardium will remodel leading to exacerbation of the disease.Current treatment modalities may not be adequate to prevent myocardial remodeling.It is necessary to explore a new approach to restore the damaged myocardium.Stem cell-based therapy is developing rapidly and has been used in the field of cardiovascular disease.There are many problems still to be solved.
