Abstract
Clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated the proarrhythmic potential of skeletal myoblast transplantation for repair of infarcted myocardium. The evidence on proarrhythmia following bone marrow-derived stem cells, and particular msenchymal stem cells, transplantation is inconclusive. There are experimental and preliminary clinical data supporting the possibility that mesenchymal stem cell transplantation might exert an anti-arrhythmic action by intervening with myocardial scar remodeling. However, clinical experience is limited.Entities:
