Stem cell treatment for acute myocardial infarction

Abstract: The results of this review suggest that there is insufficient evidence for a beneficial effect of cell therapy for AMI patients. However, most of the evidence comes from small trials that showed no difference in clinically relevant outcomes. Further adequately powered trials are needed and until then the efficacy of this intervention remains unproven.

“…108,109 Thus, considering the low regeneration potential of the endogenous mechanisms attempts to stimulate regeneration by using exogenous stem cells seem plausible. 110,111 Stem cell therapy has been reported to have beneficial effects in patients who had previously suffered a myocardial infarction. This issue, although controversial and not the focus of the present review, has been recently reviewed by Fisher et al 111 and Wang et al 112 …”

“…[22][23][24] By contrast, other trials failed to show LV function improvement, although they demonstrated reduction in infarct size, [25][26][27][28] whereas others failed to report any benefit. [29][30][31][32] Two recently published meta-analyses 33,34 showed similar results: cell treatment led to significant improvement in LVEF (by 2%-5%) when measured by echocardiography, single-photon emission computed tomography, and left ventriculography, but not with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).…”
