Heat Shock Proteins: Protection and Potential Biomarkers for Ischemic Injury of Cardiomyocytes After Surgery
The heat shock proteins are endogenous proteins with the ability
to act as molecular chaperones. Methods that provide cell protection
by way of some damage can positively influence the results of
surgery. The present review summarizes current knowledge
concerning the cardioprotective role of the heat shock proteins as
occurs in heart damage, including relevant information about the
stresses that regulate the expression of these proteins and their
potential role as biomarkers of heart disease.
