Heart failure after MI (myocardial infarction) remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Although drugs and interventional therapy can restore blood supply to the heart timely, the regenerative capacity of myocardial cells is too low to improve damaged heart function, which can seriously lead to heart failure and even death. At present, both basic and clinical studies have shown that MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) can effectively improve the repair of cardiac function after MI, and optimized and improved MSCs have become increasingly important in the treatment of MI and other diseases. Therefore, this article will respectively review the progress of the primary mechanism of MSCs, the recent status of MSCs and transplantation pathway and the optimizing strategy in the treatment of myocardial infarction.
