  ABSTRACT: Acute myocardial infarction initiates a cascade of events including loss of protein homeostasis and chronic inflammation that affect overall cellular repair and senescence. This contributes to loss of cardiomyocytes and consequent formation of fibrotic scar. In certain vertebrate species, the heart can completely self-repair or regenerate after myocardial injury; however, this does not appear to be the case for humans. Despite this limitation, studies using novel non-pharmacologic interventions designed to protect against ischemic damage and to improve patient outcomes are ongoing. Remote ischemic conditioning stratagems are used to attenuate ischemia-reperfusion injury in clinical and animal studies; endogenous protective factors that stimulate complex signal transduction pathways are deemed responsible. Some of these factors could conceivably act in concert with those involved in regulating cardiovascular regeneration. Numerous studies have focused on cardiac regenerative interventions using stem-cell based therapies and transplantation of cardiomyocyte (or other cell types) or biocompatible matrices. This review discusses recent progress of pre-clinical and clinical translational studies for cardiac regeneration. In addition, we submit that interventions using cellular adjunctive therapies combined with remote ischemic conditioning may prove to be of interest in the battle to find novel strategies for protection against cardiac injury.
