Regenerative medicine refers to medical research focusing on repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged or diseased tissues or organs. Cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is a significant health issue globally and is the leading cause of death in many countries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one person dies every 34 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular diseases, and according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. Many conventional treatments are available using different drugs for cardiovascular diseases, but these treatments are inadequate. Stem cells and nanotechnology are promising research areas for regenerative medicine treating CVDs. Regenerative medicines are a revolutionary strategy for advancing and successfully treating various diseases, intending to control cardiovascular disorders. This review is a comprehensive study of different treatment methods for cardiovascular diseases using different types of biomaterials as regenerative medicines, the importance of different stem cells in therapeutics, the expanded role of nanotechnology in treatment, the administration of several types of stem cells, their tracking, imaging, and the final observation of clinical trials on many different levels as well as it aims to keep readers up to pace on emerging therapeutic applications of some specific organs and disorders that may improve from regenerative medicine shortly.
Keywords: Biomaterials; Regenerative medicines; cardiovascular diseases; clinical trials; nanotechnology; stem cells.
