Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplants Improve Heart Function

An encouraging study presented at the Cardiovascular Research Foundation’s (CRF) Annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium has shown that transplantation of bone marrow stem cells into the heart improves heart function and blood flow in heart attack patients for up to six months. Among other applications, scientists are currently investigating these stem cells and their potential in repairing damage or loss to cardiac cells and tissues due to heart attacks or other heart conditions.

Bone marrow mononuclear (stem) cells, or BMMCs, are derived from the soft, sponge-like marrow found inside bones, and can develop into tissue or new blood vessels. Patients in this study were treated with stem cells extracted from their own bone marrow.
