Abstract

Hypoxic condition of myocardial cells will stimulate myocardial cells and interstitial cells to release growth factors to induce angiogenesis and cardiac remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Placental growth factor (PlGF) is a stress product after the injury of myocardial tissue. It can not only promote angiogenesis and regulate the inflammatory response, but also closely related to ventricular remodeling and paracrine mechanism of stem cells. This paper reviews the effects of PlGF on the myocardial regeneration treatment after AMI.
