Can old myocardial necrosis be repaired?

Whether myocardial necrosis can be repaired in the elderly depends on the degree and cause of necrosis.

Mild myocardial necrosis caused by myocardial ischemia or myocarditis may restore myocardial function after timely detection and effective treatment. However, severe myocardial necrosis, such as massive myocardial infarction or severe myocarditis, may not be completely repaired. This is because severe myocardial necrosis may lead to impaired function of myocardial cells or even loss of vitality. In this case, the goal of treatment is to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and improve the patient's quality of life.
