Abstract

Ischemic heart disease is the most prevalent cardiovascular disease in the world. Current treatments primarily rely on organ transplantations; however, issues including lifelong medication to prevent immune rejection, trauma to the cardiovascular system, and the lack of organ donations are yet to be addressed. With the development of current cardiovascular tissue engineering technologies, namely artificial valves, vascular grafts, synthetic scaffolds, and computational approaches, this field has the potential to provide alternative treatment options for ischemic heart disease. This review article aims to cover the effects of ischemic heart disease on the heart and the circulatory system and explore the process, benefits, and limitations of the current approaches to the treatment of ischemic heart disease.
