Survivors from myocardial infarction (MI) eventually develop heart failure due to the post-infarct ventricular remodeling which could not be suppressed by existing treatments. Currently, coronary heart disease has become the major cause of heart failure instead of rheumatic heart disease in China. For this reason, seeking effective treatment to prevent post-infarct ventricular remodeling is urgent. Intramyocardial injection of hydrogels as a new strategy for MI treatment has made great progress recently. This review discusses the principle, present status, mechanisms and prospects of injectable hydrogel therapies for MI.
