Annexin-A1 Agonists Rescue Cardiac Contractile Function After Myocardial Infarction

心肌梗死（或心脏病发作，冠状动脉血流量减少的结果）和随后的心力衰竭是西方社会死亡的主要原因；这正在向全球各个角落扩展。因此，治疗心脏病的新方法至关重要。我们发现天然激素膜联蛋白a1能在短期内挽救心肌功能，并提出基于膜联蛋白a1的药物可在心脏病发作后数周内预防心肌功能障碍。

Myocardial infarction (or heart attack, a result of reduced coronary blood flow) and subsequent heart failure are the major cause of death in Western societies; this is expanding to all corners of the globe. New treatments for heart attack are thus essential. We have discovered that the natural hormone annexin-A1 rescues heart muscle function over the short-term, and propose that drugs based on annexin-A1 will prevent cardiac dysfunction of heart muscle up to several weeks after heart attack.
