摘要: The major cardiac syndromes, myocardial infarction and heart failure, are responsible for a large portion of deaths worldwide. Genetic pharmacological manipulations indicate that cell death is an important component in the pathogenesis both diseases. Cells die primarily by apoptosis or necrosis, autophagy has been associated with death. Apoptosis long recognized as highly regulated process. Recent data significant subset necrotic also programmed. In review, we discuss molecular mechanisms underlie these forms their interconnections. possibility raised small molecules aimed at inhibiting may provide novel therapies common lethal syndromes.
