The extent of bone marrow dysfunction and the potential to reverse underlying mechanisms in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Abstract
The proposed project approach will create unique opportunities to describe the extent of bone marrow dysfunction in patients with ischemic heart disease and to explore underlying mechanisms. As such, it might be possible to identify reversible pathways that should be targeted in order to functionally rejuvenate "sick" autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells. The combination of gene and cell therapy has the potential to create tailored therapy, ultimately improving morbidity and mortality of patients with cardiovascular disease.Researcher(s)
