Therapeutic benefits of intravenous cardiosphere-derived cell therapy in rats with pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive condition characterized by occlusive pulmonary arteriopathy, in which survival remains poor despite pharmacologic advances. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), cardiac progenitor cells with potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, to attenuate hemodynamic and morphometric ...
متن کاملSafety and efficacy of allogeneic cell therapy in infarcted rats transplanted with mismatched cardiosphere-derived cells.
BACKGROUND Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) are an attractive cell type for tissue regeneration, and autologous CDCs are being tested clinically. However, autologous therapy necessitates patient-specific tissue harvesting and cell processing, with delays to therapy and possible variations in cell potency. The use of allogeneic CDCs, if safe and effective, would obviate such limitations. We com...
متن کاملDrug Therapy in Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) results from the obstruction of predominantly major pulmonary vessels by organized blood clots and is one of the causes of pulmonary hypertension. The disease is still underdiagnosed and the true prevalence is not clear. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics and current management of patients w...
متن کاملBenefits from the correction of vitamin D deficiency in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Background: Vitamin D (Vit D) is linked to various conditions including musculoskeletal, metabolic and cardiopulmonary diseases. However, it is not clear whether correction of vit D deficiency exerts any beneficial effect in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Methods: This study was a prospective uncontrolled longitudinal study. Patients with pulmonary hypertension and vit D d...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension In First Degree Relatives Of Patients With Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was defined for the first time in 1951 as primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). Some studies emphasized on the role of genetics in the development of pulmonary hypertension in family members of affected patients. So, in this study we evaluated the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in first degree family of patients with documented PPH. Methods: In thi...
