Increased Apelin following Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cell Transplantation Contributes to the Improvement of Cardiac Function in Patients with Severe Heart Failure
We previously reported that intracoronary implantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) into ischemic hearts improved cardiac function after myocardial infarction. However, the mechanisms have not been elucidated. The present study investigates whether apelin, a newly described inotropic pept...
