Gene Therapy for Heart Failure

Abstract: Heart failure is an important public medical problem in the developed countries. Although there are numerous and fascinating medicines given by physicians for the treatment of heart failure, the general 5 year survival rate for advanced heart failure is only about 50%. There are still many theoretical and practical problems to overcome before the application of gene therapy to cardiovascular disease becomes a reality in the future. With our increased knowledge on the development of gene delivery, vector system… Show more

“…As the route of administration, the intramyocardial route proved to be more effective and, therefore, have been the most widely used in studies involving gene therapy in cardiology [38]. Previous studies suggest that administration by intramuscular injection offers the possibility to offer more effective in focal areas of ischemic muscle [4].…”
