TLDR
It is suggested that intracoronary infusion of autologous CSCs is effective in improving LV systolic function and reducing infarct size in patients with heart failure after myocardial infarction, and warrant further, larger, phase 2 studies.

The inflammatory response in myocardial injury, repair, and remodelling.

TL;DR: Biomarker-based approaches are needed to identify patients with distinct pathophysiologic responses and to rationally implement inflammation-modulating strategies in patients with myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional screening identifies miRNAs inducing cardiac regeneration

TL;DR: It is shown that the exogenous administration of selected microRNAs (miRNAs) markedly stimulates cardiomyocyte proliferation and promotes cardiac repair and the miRNAs identified hold great promise for the treatment of cardiac pathologies consequent to cardiomeocyte loss.

Recommendations for quantitation of the left ventricle by two-dimensional echocardiography. American Society of Echocardiography Committee on Standards, Subcommittee on Quantitation of Two-Dimensional Echocardiograms.

TL;DR: It is the opinion that current technology justifies the clinical use of the quantitative two-dimensional methods described in this article and the routine reporting of left ventricular ejection fraction, diastolic volume, mass, and wall motion score.

Adult Cardiac Stem Cells Are Multipotent and Support Myocardial Regeneration

TL;DR: The existence of Lin(-) c-kit(POS) cells with the properties of cardiac stem cells, which are self-renewing, clonogenic, and multipotent, giving rise to myocytes, smooth muscle, and endothelial cells are reported.

Transcoronary transplantation of progenitor cells after myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Intracoronary infusion of progenitor cells is safe and feasible in patients with healed myocardial infarction and is associated with moderate but significant improvement in the left ventricular ejection fraction after 3 months.

More ‘malignant’ than cancer? Five‐year survival following a first admission for heart failure

TL;DR: The prognostic impact of heart failure relative to that of ‘high‐profile’ disease states such as cancer, within the whole population, is unknown.
