Abstract
BACKGROUND: We previously showed that intramyocardial bone marrow cell (BMC) injection in patients with refractory angina and chronic myocardial ischemia improves myocardial perfusion, cardiac function and disease-related complaints. Treatment effect varied between patients, but the predictors of response remain to be identified. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess whether patient characteristics, procedural data and baseline …
