Abstract EN
Under conventional heart failure therapy, inflammatory cardiomyopathy usually has a progressive course, merging for alternative interventional strategies.
There is accumulating support for the application of cellular transplantation as a strategy to improve myocardial function.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the advantage over other stem cells that they possess immunomodulatory features, making them attractive candidates for the treatment of inflammatory cardiomyopathy.
Studies in experimental models of inflammatory cardiomyopathy have consistently demonstrated the potential of MSCs to reduce cardiac injury and to improve cardiac function.
This paper gives an overview about how inflammation triggers the functionality of MSCs and how it induces cardiac homing.
Finally, the potential of intravenous application of MSCs by inflammatory cardiomyopathy is discussed.
