Abstract
- A randomized, controlled trial, known as the Autologous Stem-Cell Transplantation in Acute Myocardial Infarction (ASTAMI) study, was conducted to investigate whether intracoronary injection of autologous mononuclear bone marrow (BMC) results in a clinically important improvement in left ventricular function as measured by the left ventricular ejection factor (LVEF). Results showed no effects of intracoronary injection of autologous mononuclear BMC on global left ventricular function.
