An organic extract of Geum japonicum thunb var. (EGJ), and a
pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. The organic EGJ has been
identified to show potent dual effects on stimulating early growth (less
than 48 hours) of new vessels both in ischemic heart muscles and in
infracted heart muscles, and on triggering myocardial regeneration in
myocardial infarction, and therefore, may be used in the treatment of
ischemic diseases in human being or animals including ischemic heart
disease and ischemic limbs, and damaged myocardium associated diseases.
