Considerable research has been done in the past few decades to treat ischemic heart disease (stroke). Although drug therapies can improve heart disease and reduce mortality in heart failure, none is able to regenerate damaged heart tissue. Therefore, stem cell-based therapies are considered as new approaches to correcting heart tissue remodeling. Since the depletion of cardiac muscle cells at the beginning of the myocardial infarction act as a stimulus for myocardial remodeling, the ability to replace these cells with their healthy counterparts is an effective treatment for many types of cardiovascular diseases.
In this study, we reviewed the advances made in the treatment of myocardial infarction through cell therapy.
