| Research Abstract |
We have demonstrated that vagal stimulation (VS) prevented the cardiac remodeling and death in post-myocardial infarction rats. However, the precise mechanisms of cardiac protection by VS have not been fully elucidated. To develop a novel cardiovascular regeneration therapy with vagal stimulation (VS), this study examined the role of VS on activation of endogenous cardiac stem cells (CSCs) after acute myocardial infarction. The results suggested that the preservation of cardiac function by VS in AMI rats maybe mediated partly by activation of CSCs and induction of angiogenesis.
