Two promising approaches in the treatment of myocardial infarction: stem cells and gene therapy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), characterized by a high incidence rate and high mortality, have become the leading cause of death globally. CVDs include coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and peripheral vascular diseases. In China, the death rate of CVDs ranks the first in all major diseases.

Cardiology Update

EMPACT-MI 1 ( NCT04509674 ) studied the effects of empagliflozin in patients who have experienced myocardial infarction (MI). Investigators assessed if empagliflozin could lower the risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HF) or death from cardiovascular disease (CVD). of patients in the PCI group compared to 3.4%

Blood Transfusions and Organ Transplants: Though rare, the virus can be transmitted through infected blood or organ donations. As beneficial as ART Therapy is, recent studies suggest that INSTIs and CCR5 antagonists exhibit cardiovascular toxicity, raising valid concerns as it can lead to a higher risk of CVDs.
