Abstract
Cardiac remodeling occurs in a variety of heart diseases, contributing to ventricular dysfunction. Following myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac repair and remodeling appear in both infarcted and non-infarcted myocardium. Factors regulating cardiac repair/remodeling at different stages following MI are under investigation. There is growing recognition and experimental evidence that oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a role in the pathogeneses of myocardial repair/remodeling in various cardiac diseases. After acute MI, oxidative stress is developed in both infarcted and non-infarcted myocardium. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that ROS participates in several aspects of cardiac repair/remodeling following infarction that includes cardiomyocyte apoptosis, inflammatory/fibrogenic responses, hypertrophy, and angiogenesis. The exact pathways on ROS-mediated myocardial remodeling are under investigation. The therapeutic potential of oxidative stress-directed drugs in myocardial remodeling following infarction has not been fully realized.
