Method of treatment for ischemic heart disease
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a method of treatment for ischemic heart disease administering a scar formation accelerator containing at least one selected from SFRP2, SFRP4, Midkine, Pleiotrophin and Thymosin beta-10 as an effective ingredient to promote scar formation less fibrosis and retaining elasticity, and thereby improving cardiac function.
1. A method of treatment for ischemic heart disease administering a scar formation accelerator containing SFRP4 as an effective ingredient to promote scar formation, and thereby repair a damaged myocardiac tissue.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scar formation accelerator comprises SFRP4 inserted in delivery vehicles.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the scar formation accelerator comprises SFRP4 inserted in delivery vehicles supported on and/or anchored to a sheet.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scar formation accelerator comprises a slow-releasing agent.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the slow-releasing agent is SFRP4 inserted in delivery vehicles.
6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the SFRP4 inserted in delivery vehicles is SFRP4 encapsulated in gelatin or mixed with collagen.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scar formation accelerator comprises a slow-releasing agent supported on and/or anchored to a sheet.
