Can Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis Be Prevented or Mitigated?
Preventing or mitigating cardiomyocyte apoptosis involves reducing exposure to toxicants and utilizing pharmacological interventions. Antioxidants like N-acetylcysteine can counteract oxidative stress, while agents that stabilize mitochondrial function may prevent apoptosis. Furthermore, lifestyle changes such as reducing exposure to environmental pollutants can play a significant role in prevention.
