Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims:
Ischemic heart disease occurs when the heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances in the coronary arteries. The main symptoms are chest pain, heart attacks and heart failure. Cell therapy is a promising new treatment option. The aim of this study is to find out whether transplantation of a patient’s bone marrow stem cells into their heart has beneficial effects on their heart function.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 - 80 who have had a heart attack in the last 3 months

What does the study involve?
There are two groups of patients in this study. Both groups undergo coronary angiography, a test that uses dye and x rays to show the insides of the coronary arteries. One group receives cell therapy, while the other group does not receive cell therapy. Heart function is assessed at the start and 6 months later.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?

Scientific titleIntra-coronary freshly isolated bone marrow cells transplantation improve cardiac function in patients with ischemic heart disease: a non-randomised study
Study objectivesIn this study we analyzed whether intracoronary autologous freshly isolated bone marrow cells transplantation (BMCs-Tx) have beneficial effects on cardiac function in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD)
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee, University Rostock, Germany, 14/12/2008, ref: II PV 11/01
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedIschemic heart disease
InterventionThere are two groups, both groups underwent coronary angiography, first group received additional cell therapy, second group serve as control group received only coronary angiography without cell therapy.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureThe change in global ejection fraction (EF) as well as the size of infarcted area measured baseline and 6 months after coronary angiography in both groups.
Secondary outcome measuresThe functional status by New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification and Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level in peripheral blood measured baseline and 6 months after coronary angiography in both groups.
