Abstract: As death toll from cardiovascular diseases has reached historic heights in the developed world,
research efforts have been focused on both the understanding of disease progression and also the choice of
appropriate treatment strategies. Moreover, to facilitate research, an appropriate animal model is needed to
mimic the pathological changes and follow treatment results. This article reviewed the disease mechanisms
underlying vascular injuries and also the animal model of endothelial denudation using balloon catheter. On the
other hand, the biological effects of shock wave including angiogenesis and the suppression of inflammation
were reviewed. Its therapeutic impact on the cardiovascular system and its potential clinical application as well as
limitations were also discussed. (AJTR1103003).
Keywords: Shock wave therapy, vascular endothelial damage, cardiovascular diseases, animal model,
