Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that extracorporeal shock wave therapy is an effective, safe, and non-invasive treatment for ischemic heart disease, which can improve angiogenesis in the ischemic myocardium.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research advances in promotion of angiogenesis for ischemic myocardium by extracorporeal shock wave therapy.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of PubMed database and CNKI database was performed for relevant articles published between 1998 and 2014 with key words of “shock wave, ischemic heart disease, angiogenesis, cytokine, stem cell” in English and Chinese, respectively. Articles related to the promotion of angiogenesis for ischemic cardiovascular disease by extracorporeal shock wave were selected. Repetitive articles were excluded. According to inclusion criteria, 51 literatures were selected in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy can improve angiogenesis in the ischemic myocardium by mobilizing proliferation and differentiation of stem cells into vascular endothelial cells, and by enhancing the expression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor. Moreover, the extracorporeal shock wave therapy can create a local favorable microenvironment for angiogenesis by inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis and by regulating components of the extracellular matrix. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy plays an important role in the angiogenesis of ischemic myocardium and displays a good clinical prospect in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. However, the specific mechanism requires further studies.
