Abstract:
At present, no effective therapeutic option for ischemic heart disease is available. The majority of the data on stem cell transplantation coming from preclinical animal studies and clinical research in small scale demonstrate that it may improve cardiac function. However, serious questions about its safety have yet to be answered.
