Methods for treatment of reperfusion injury and other cardiac conditions

摘要

The present invention discloses methods to prevent and treat cardiovascular disorders, hi certain aspects the methods are drawn to releasing endogenous calcitonin-gene related peptide from intrinsic cardiac adrenergic cells within the heart. In further aspects, a combination of a beta2 adrenergic receptor agonist (beta2-AR agonist) and a vasodilator can be used in treating reperfusion injury.
