Abstract:Background
Trials investigating the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on heart failure (HF) have been controversial. This study was conducted to investigate whether the transplantation of MSCs after HF could help improve clinical outcomes and myocardial performance indices.
Methods
Using a systematic approach, electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), which evaluated the transplantation of MSCs after HF. The outcomes of interest included clinical outcomes and myocardia… Show more
