CD34+ stem cell therapy in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy patients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent trends indicate that patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy represent the largest subpopulation of heart failure patients with a significant need for alternative treatment modalities. Similar to patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy have been found to have myocardial regions with flow abnormalities, which may represent targets for neoangiogenic therapies. CD34(+) stem cells might contribute to the formation of new blood vessels from existing vascular structures in ischemic tissues by the direct incorporation of injected cells into the newly developing vasculature or by the production and secretion of angiogenic cytokines. This review summarizes the long-term clinical effects and potential underlying mechanisms of CD34(+) cell therapy in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.

RATIONALE CD34+ transplantation in dilated cardiomyopathy was associated with short-term improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction and exercise tolerance. OBJECTIVE We investigated long-term effects of intracoronary CD34+ cell transplantation in dilated cardiomyopathy and the relationship between intramyocardial cell homing and clinical response. METHODS AND RESULTS Of 110 dilated c...

We investigated the effects of CD34+ cell therapy on right ventricular (RV) function in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We enrolled 60 patients with DCM who were randomized to CD34+ cell therapy (Stem Cells (SC) Group n = 30), or no cell therapy (Controls, n = 30). The SC Group received granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, and CD34+ cells were collected by apheresis an...

We sought to evaluate the physiological background and the effects of CD34+ cell transplantation on diastolic parameters in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy patients (DCM). We enrolled 38 DCM patients with NYHA class III and LVEF < 40% who underwent transendocardial CD34+ cell transplantation. Peripheral blood CD34+ cells were mobilized by G-CSF, collected via apheresis, and injected transend...
متن کاملCell Therapy for Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy
Currently, nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NICM) represents the leading cause of advanced heart failure, accounting for >50% of all heart transplantation procedures. We propose that when compared with patients with ischemic heart failure (IHF), patients with NICM demonstrate a more favorable clinical response to cell therapy, which offers a potential novel promising treatment approach for t...
