    Abstract

    A loss of functional cardiomyocytes forms the cellular basis of cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. Stem cell based repletion of scarred myocardial tissue and regeneration of cardiomyocytes have been proposed as a potential treatment of ventricular dysfunction. In this review, we provide an overview of recent studies utilizing mesenchymal stem cells in cardiac regeneration and post-myocardial infarct therapy.
