The role of myocardial regeneration, cardiomyocyte apoptosis in acute myocardial infarction: A review of current research trends and challenges.

PURPOSE

This paper aims to review the research progress in repairing injury caused by acute myocardial infarction, focusing on myocardial regeneration, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and fibrosis. The goal is to investigate the current research trends and challenges in the field of myocardial injury repair.

METHODS

The review delves into the latest research on myocardial regeneration, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and fibrosis following acute myocardial infarction. It highlights stem cell transplantation and gene therapy as key areas of current research focus, while emphasizing the significance of cardiomyocyte apoptosis and fibrosis in the myocardial injury repair process. Additionally, the review addresses the challenges and unresolved issues that require further investigation in the field of myocardial injury repair.

SUMMARY

Acute myocardial infarction is a prevalent cardiovascular condition that results in myocardial damage necessitating repair. Myocardial regeneration plays a crucial role in repairing myocardial injury, with current research focusing on stem cell transplantation and gene therapy. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis and fibrosis are key factors in the repair process, significantly impacting the restoration of myocardial structure and function. Nonetheless, there remain numerous challenges and unresolved issues that warrant further investigation in the realm of myocardial injury repair.
