Stem Cells and Myocardial Regeneration is a   comprehensive bench to bedside examination of stem cell-based therapies for   cardiac dysfunction. The contributors, all leading researchers in their   area of expertise, explore recent advances in the laboratory and in   clinical trials. This volume emphasizes the near epidemic status of chronic   heart failure (CHF) in the United States and abroad, and evaluates the   level of success and failure of current optimal medical therapy. Specific   attention is also given to both the basic cell types and pathways involved   in cardiac stem cell research and the clinical issues that surround it.     Parts I and II of Stem Cells and Myocardial Regeneration examine various   cardiac stem cell types, including hematopoietic, mesenchymal, and   endogenous cells and critical physiological pathways, including chemokines,   stem cell differentiation, and arrhythmia mechanisms. Part III focuses on   clinical issues intrinsic to delivery of stem cells to the heart at the   time of myocardial infarction (MI) and in patients with CHF. Part IV   contains up-to-date reviews and analyses of the findings of stem cell-based   clinical trials of acute MI and CHF. The concluding section presents a   summary of cardiac stem cell research and outlines potential obstacles to   future study.     Features  -Explores critical cardiac stem cell pathways and   mechanisms-Examines cardiac stem cells, including hematopoietic,   mesenchymal, and endogenous cells  -Presents clinical measures of effective cell-based therapies  -Provides strategies for cardiac stem cell delivery at time of MI and   in patients with CHF  -Reviews stem cell-based clinical trials in patients with acute MI and   CHF
