[Effects of placental growth factor on revascularization after acute myocardial infarction in rats].
To investigate the effect of placental growth factor (PlGF) on revascularization after acute myocardial infarction. ⋯ Regional delivery of PlGF following acute myocardial infarction can improve cardiac function and left ventricular remodeling, enhance angiogenesis and reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate. PlGF may be a potential agent in adjuvant therapy for acute myocardial infarction.
