The Cardioprotective Actions of Hydrogen Sulfide in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure

الملخص EN

It has now become universally accepted that hydrogen sulfide (H2S), previously considered only as a lethal toxin, has robust cytoprotective actions in multiple organ systems.

The diverse signaling profile of H2S impacts multiple pathways to exert cytoprotective actions in a number of pathological states.

This paper will review the recently described cardioprotective actions of hydrogen sulfide in both myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and congestive heart failure.
