Use of Stem Cells to Treat Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Journal Title: Journal of Regenerative Medicine & Biology Research - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy is a multifactorial condition involving genetic and signaling pathways. Current recommendations for treating hypertensive LVH include ACE inhibitors, RAS and CCBs. Despite numerous drug therapies for ventricular hypertrophy, patients often deteriorate and experience a decline in ventricular function ultimately leading to heart failure. For this reason, alternative therapies must be investigated. Stem cells possess the potential to divide at a high capacity, self-renew and differentiate into numerous cardiac cell lineages. Furthermore, stem cells are connected to ventricular remodeling and are vital in maintaining the homeostasis of the heart. Further examination of the role of stem cells in LVH could result in the development of targeted therapeutic interventions for prevention or reversal of the phenomenon.
