Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) play a crucial role in cellular responses to low oxygen levels during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury. HIF stabilizers, originally developed for treating renal anemia, may offer cardiac protection in this context. This narrative review examines the molecular mechanisms governing HIF activation and function, as well as the pathways involved in cell protection. Furthermore, we analyze the distinct cellular roles of HIFs in myocardial ischemia and reperfu ...[more]
