Abstract: Multiple clinical trials have been conducted to determine the outcome of stem cell transplantation on cardiac function. However, marked variability in design across these trials has generated ambiguity in interpretation of their results. This review systematically evaluates the currently available protocols to illustrate the need for a standardized protocol for future trials.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.)
