Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Molecular Biology
  • Gene Therapy

Background:

  • Cardiovascular diseases lack effective treatments.
  • Gene therapy offers a potential therapeutic strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the potential of gene therapy for cardiovascular diseases.
  • To explore angiogenic growth factors and decoy strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical trials using vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for peripheral arterial disease and ischemic heart disease.
  • Transfection of double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ds-ODN) as decoy molecules targeting gene transcription.

Main Results:

  • Positive clinical outcomes reported for VEGF gene therapy in peripheral arterial disease and ischemic heart disease.
