Bone marrow mononuclear cell therapy for acute myocardial infarction: a perspective from the cardiovascular cell therapy research network

Circ Res. 2014 May 9;114(10):1564-8. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.114.303720.

Abstract

To understand the role of bone marrow mononuclear cells in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, this overview offers a retrospective examination of strengths and limitations of 3 contemporaneous trials with attention to critical design features and provides an analysis of the combined data set and implications for future directions in cell therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

Keywords: diagnostic imaging; myocardial infarction; population.
