Abstract: Autophagy is induced by a diversity of signals during ischemia and reperfusion.Autophagy has been shown to protect cardiac cells and reduce the cell loss, but it also has been shown that enhanced autophagy contributes to cell death during I/R.

Key words: cell autophagy, ischemia/reperfusion, cardiac myocyte, ischemic heart disease
