Cardiac Regeneration

Myocardial infarction (MI) and other cardiovascular diseases, as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, have gradually become the number one killer threatening human health worldwide. Advanced Electrical-active scaffold based cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) is one of the most promising solutions for cardiac regeneration and injury repair. In this chapter, we give an introduction of advanced electrically conducting polymers and their composites and an overview of their applications and underlying mechanism for CTE. We hope this work can provide more new research ideas for future researchers, and it is believed that with the continuous progress of technology and researchers’ exploration, the research of engineered myocardial tissue constructed with conductive materials in cardiac repair and regeneration will make further progress.
