Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major cause of death worldwide. Biomaterials including synthetic and natural polymers have been fabricated by combining the chemical, biological, mechanical and electrical aspects of material for potential tissue engineering applications. Synthetic and natural polymers help in tailoring the mechanical properties of the scaffold and are advantageous in providing cell adhesion and proliferation by offering cell recognition sites. Cardiac tissue engineering aims for the development of a bioengineered cardiac patch that can provide physical support to the damaged cardiac tissue by replacing certain functions of the damaged extracellular matrix and prevent adverse cardiac remodeling and dysfunction after myocardial infarction. Hence, cardiac patches aim to facilitate the normal functioning of the heart muscle by providing repair and support to the infarcted region of the heart. This Chapter will review application of different biodegradable natural polymeric materials and their composites in the development of cardiac patches for cardiac tissue engineering.
