Abstract
Therapeutic methods for the treatment of myocardial infarction are described, the methods including delivering a myocardial protective effective amount of light energy having a wavelength in the visible to near-infrared wavelength range to that area of the myocardium containing the area of primary infarct. A myocardial protective effective amount of light energy is a selected or predetermined power density (mW/cm.sup.2) at the level of the myocardial tissue being treated, and is determined by determining a surface power density of the light energy sufficient to deliver the selected power density of light energy to the myocardial tissue taking into account factors that attenuate the light energy as it travels from the skin surface to the myocardial tissue being treated.
