Human embryonic stem cells and cardiac repair.

Transplantation reviews (Orlando, Fla.) - 1 Jan 2009

Zhu Wei-Zhong, Hauch Kip D, Xu Chunhui, Laflamme Michael A

Abstract excerpt

The muscle lost after a myocardial infarction is replaced with noncontractile scar tissue, often initiating heart failure. Whole-organ cardiac transplantation is the only currently available clinical means of replacing the lost muscle, but this option is limited by the inadequate supply of donor hearts. Thus, cell-based cardiac repair has attracted considerable interest as an alternative means of ameliorating...
