The present invention is related to the use of the growth hormone releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6) for the manufacture of a late cardioprotective and cardiac restoration medicament. Said late cardioprotective and cardiac restoration medicament comprises GHRP-6 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or vehicle. It also provides a method for the treatment of a disease that involves a low cardiac output, wherein a therapeutically effective amount of a late cardioprotective and cardiac restoration medicament comprising GHRP-6 is administered to a subject in need. Said medicament allows treating in a late manner, even days later, the myocardium that suffered episodes of stunning, hibernation, ischemia and its consequences thereof.
