Myocardial fibrosis is a common pathological process from various cardiovascular diseases to heart failure, and multiple signal pathways are jointly involved in the development and progression of myocardial fibrosis. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a trimer complex widely distributed in human body, which is a central regulator of energy homeostasis involving the regulation of various metabolic responses and signaling pathways in vivo. AMPK interacts with the network of signal pathways related to myocardial fibrosis and jointly mediates the complex pathophysiological changes of myocardial fibrosis. Intervention of AMPK signal pathway provides a new therapeutic idea for the prevention and treatment of myocardial fibrosis. This paper summarizes the role and possible mechanisms of AMPK in different diseases related to cardiac fibrosis. The mutual effects of AMPK in several signaling pathways is also discussed; then further talks about the potential correlations between three kinds of commonly used clinical drugs and AMPK aiming to provide a new idea for the clinical treatment of myocardial fibrosis.
