Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Controversy surrounds the long-term effects of intracoronary bone marrow stem cell transplantation after ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI). We report on the long-term changes in left ventricular function observed in 29 patients with STEAMI who were treated using this technique. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed at baseline, 6 months after transplantation, and long-term follow-up (median 27 months, interquartile range 24-35 months). The left ventricular ejection fraction had improved significantly by 6 months (from 47.6±8.9% to 52.7±11.6%; P=.001) and this improvement was maintained long-term, at 52.4±11.8% (P=.01 vs. baseline and P=.999 vs. 6 months). There was no significant change from baseline in end-diastolic or end-systolic ventricular volume. Our findings indicate the improvement in injection fraction occurs soon after stem cell transplantation, within the first 6 months, and remains unchanged at long-term follow-up.
