Methods are provided for treating patients with congestive heart failure (including dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure associated with severe coronary artery disease), and for preventing or alleviating deleterious ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. The preferred methods of the present invention involve in vivo delivery of genes encoding angiogenic proteins or peptides to the myocardium by direct injection of a vector containing the gene into a blood vessel supplying the heart.

L'invention concerne des procédés destinés au traitement de patients souffrant d'insuffisance cardiaque globale (y compris de myocardiopathie dilatée et d'insuffisance cardiaque globale associée à une coronaropathie grave) ainsi qu'à la prévention ou à la limitation du remodelage ventriculaire nuisible à la santé après un infarctus du myocarde. Les procédés préférés de la présente invention comprennent l'apport in vivo au myocarde de gènes codant des protéines angiogéniques ou peptides, par injection directe d'un vecteur contenant le gène dans un vaisseau sanguin irriguant le coeur.
