Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The development of heart failure after acute myocardial infarction (MI) was related to left ventricular (LV) pathological remodeling and dysfunction. Cardiac stem cells (CSCs) provided a new option to treat acute MI. This study was to investigate the effects of CSCs on structural and functional alteration in acute MI. METHODS: Acute MI was induced in 20 Sprague-Dawley rats by ligation of the left...
