Bone Marrow Cell Transfer Improves LVEF After MI

"Preliminary findings reported last year of bone marrow stem cell transfer to boost heart function after intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) appear to be holding up over the longer term. The 18-month results of the Bone Marrow Transfer to Enhance ST-Elevation Infarct Regeneration Trial (BOOST) show on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains better than controls."
