Aims: Patients suffering from chronic ischaemic heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) have reduced quality‐of‐life, repetitive hospital admissions, and reduced life expectancy. Allogeneic cell therapy is currently investigated as a potential treatment option after initially encouraging results from clinical autologous and allogeneic trials in patients with HFrEF. We aimed to investigate the allogeneic Cardiology Stem Cell Centre Adipose tissue derived mesenchymal Stromal Cell product (CSCC_ASC) as an add‐on therapy in patients with chronic HFrEF. Methods and results: This is a Danish multi‐centre double‐blinded placebo‐controlled phase II study with direct intra‐myocardial injections of allogeneic CSCC_ASC. A total of 81 HFrEF patients were included and randomized 2:1 to CSCC_ASC or placebo injections. The inclusion criteria were reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤ 45%), New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II‐III despite optimal anti‐congestive heart failure medication and no further revascularization options. Injections of 0.3 mL CSCC_ASC (total cell dose 100 × 106 ASCs) (n = 54) or isotonic saline (n = 27) were performed into the viable myocardium in the border zone of infarcted tissue using the NOGA Myostar® catheter (Biological Delivery System, Cordis, Johnson & Johnson, USA). The primary endpoint, left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), was evaluated at 6‐month follow‐up. The safety was measured during a 3‐years follow‐up period. Results: Mean age was 67.0 ± 9.0 years and 66.6 ± 8.1 years in the ASC and placebo groups, respectively. LVESV was unchanged from baseline to 6‐month follow‐up in the ASC (125.7 ± 68.8 mL and 126.3 ± 72.5 mL, P = 0.827) and placebo (134.6 ± 45.8 mL and 135.3 ± 49.6 mL, P = 0.855) group without any differences between the groups (0.0 mL (95% CI −9.1 to 9.0 mL, P = 0.992). Neither were there significant changes in left ventricular end diastolic volume or LVEF within the two groups or between groups −5.7 mL (95% CI −16.7 to 5.3 mL, P = 0.306) and −1.7% (95% CI −4.4. to 1.0, P = 0.212), respectively). NYHA classification and 6‐min walk test did not alter significantly in the two groups (P > 0.05). The quality‐of‐life, total symptom, and overall summary score improved significantly only in the ASC group but not between groups. There were 24 serious adverse events (SAEs) in the ASC group and 11 SAEs in the placebo group without any significant differences between the two groups at 1‐year follow‐up. Kaplan–Meier plot using log‐rank test of combined cardiac events showed an overall mean time to event of 30 ± 2 months in the ASC group and 29 ± 2 months in the placebo group without any differences between the groups during the 3 years follow‐up period (P = 0.994). Conclusions: Intramyocardial CSCC_ASC injections in patients with chronic HFrEF were safe but did not improve myocardial function or structure, nor clinical symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aims: The aim of the SCIENCE trial was to investigate whether a single treatment with direct intramyocardial injections of adipose tissue‐derived mesenchymal stromal cells (CSCC_ASCs) was safe and improved cardiac function in patients with chronic ischaemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods and results: The study was a European multicentre, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled phase II trial using allogeneic CSCC_ASCs from healthy donors or placebo (2:1 randomization). Main inclusion criteria were New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II–III, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <45%, and N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) levels >300 pg/ml. CSCC_ASCs or placebo (isotonic saline) were injected directly into viable myocardium. The primary endpoint was change in left ventricular end‐systolic volume (LVESV) at 6‐month follow‐up measured by echocardiography. A total of 133 symptomatic HFrEF patients were included. The treatment was safe without any drug‐related severe adverse events or difference in cardiac‐related adverse events during a 3‐year follow‐up period. There were no significant differences between groups during follow‐up in LVESV (0.3 ± 5.0 ml, p = 0.945), nor in secondary endpoints of left ventricular end‐diastolic volume (−2.0 ± 6.0 ml, p = 0.736) and LVEF (−1.6 ± 1.0%, p = 0.119). The NYHA class improved slightly within the first year in both groups without any difference between groups. There were no changes in 6‐min walk test, NT‐proBNP, C‐reactive protein or quality of life the first year in any groups. Conclusion: The SCIENCE trial demonstrated safety of intramyocardial allogeneic CSCC_ASC therapy in patients with chronic HFrEF. However, it was not possible to improve the pre‐defined endpoints and induce restoration of cardiac function or clinical symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: The detrimental effects of long-standing severe aortic stenosis (AS) often include left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and exhaustion of coronary flow reserve (CFR), the reversibility of which is unclear after valve replacement., Aims: Our aims were to 1) investigate whether CFR in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) would improve following valve replacement, and if the change was related to changes in hyperaemic coronary flow (Q
LAD ) and minimal microvascular resistance (Rμ,LAD ); and 2) investigate the relationship between changes in CFR and changes in left ventricular mass (LVM) and stroke work (LVSW )., Methods: We measured intracoronary bolus thermodilution-derived CFR, and continuous thermodilution-derived QLAD and Rμ,LAD before and 6 months after aortic valve replacement. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was used to quantify left ventricular anatomy and function for the calculation of LVM and LVSW . Results: Thirty-four patients were included (17 patients had transcatheter aortic valve implantation; 14 had surgical valve replacement with a bioprosthesis and 3 with a mechanical prosthesis) who underwent invasive assessment in the LAD. CFR increased from 2.5 (interquartile range [IQR] 1.5-3.3) at baseline to 3.1 (IQR 2.2-5.1) at follow-up (p=0.005), despite no significant change in QLAD (230±106 mL/min to 250±101 mL/min; p=0.26) or Rμ,LAD (347 [IQR 247-463] to 287 [IQR 230-456]; p=0.20). When indexed for LVM, QLAD was 39% (IQR 8-98%) higher at follow-up compared with baseline (p<0.001). The improvement in CFR was correlated with ΔLVSW , r= -0.39; p=0.047. Conclusions: CFR in the LAD increased significantly at follow-up although global hyperaemic flow and minimal microvascular resistance remained unchanged. Thus, a decrease in resting flow was the cause of CFR improvement. CFR improvement was associated with reduction in LVSW .- Published

- Abstract
In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), ischemic postconditioning (iPOST) have shown ambiguous results in minimizing reperfusion injury. Previous findings show beneficial effects of iPOST in patients with STEMI treated without thrombectomy. However, it remains unknown whether the cardioprotective effect of iPOST in these patients persist on long term. In the current study, all patients were identified through the DANAMI-3-iPOST database. Patients were randomized to conventional primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or iPOST in addition to PCI. Cumulative incidence rates were calculated, and multivariable analyses stratified according to thrombectomy use were performed. The primary end point was a combination of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization for heart failure. From 2011 to 2014, 1,234 patients with STEMI were included with a median follow-up of 4.8 years. In patients treated without thrombectomy (n = 520), the primary end point occurred in 15% (48/326) in the iPOST group and in 22% (42/194) in the conventional group (unadjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41 to 0.94, p = 0.023). In adjusted Cox analysis, iPOST remained associated with reduced long-term risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.97, p = 0.039). In patients treated with thrombectomy (n = 714), there was no significant difference between iPOST (17%, 49/291) and conventional treatment (17%, 72/423) on the primary end point (unadjusted HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.45, p = 0.95). During a follow-up of nearly 5 years, iPOST reduced long-term occurrence of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with STEMI treated with PCI but without thrombectomy., Competing Interests: Disclosures Dr. Mæng has received lecture fees and advisory board fees from Novo Nordisk and a research grant from Bayer.
