METHODS FOR TREATING ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION BY ADMINISTERING CALCITONIN GENE RELATED PEPTIDE AND COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

This invention relates to methods of treating acute myocardial infarction by administering calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). This invention also relates to preventing an acute myocardial infarction by administering calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). This invention further relates to compositions of CGRP for use in such methods. This invention also relates to the use of calcitonin gene related peptide in the manufacture of medicament for treating or preventing an acute myocardial infarction in a subject or for treating a subject suspected of having an acute myocardial infarction.
