Excerpt

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death despite significant advances in biomedical research. Myocardial infarction results in myocyte death, destruction of myocardial architecture, scar, and ventricular remodeling, which leads to heart failure and arrhythmias. Despite advances in pharmacotherapy, device therapy and revascularization, there is no effective therapy to replace dead myocardium due to the limited regenerative capacity of the adult mammalian heart. …
