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 byadministering calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). This invention alsorelates to preventing an acute myocardial infarction by administeringcalcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). This invention further relates tocompositions of CGRP for use in such methods. This invention also relates tothe use of calcitonin gene related peptide in the manufacture of medicamentfor treating or preventing an acute myocardial infarction in a subject or fortreating a subject suspected of having an acute myocardial infarction.
