Due to its ominous incidence, prevalence, and particularly for its poor prognosis, heart failure and advanced coronary artery disease stand in the centre of interest of many experimental and clinical researches. A substantial improvement of prognosis of patients with advanced systolic heart failure can be achieved only using therapeutic methods that have a decisive impact on the essence of chronic heart failure which is the loss of functioning cardiomyocytes. Cellular transplantation represents one of these approaches. The authors bring a short overview of cellular transplantation as a treatment prospect for the irreversible myocardial lesions. In particular, they focus on the current clinical experience with this treatment. In the conclusion authors briefly comment their idea on the nearest aims of their own clinical research in this field.

Srdcové zlyhávanie a pokročilá koronárna choroba je pre hrozivú incidenciu, prevalenciu a predovšetkým zlú prognózu v centre pozornosti mnohých experimentálnych a klinických výskumov. Zásadné zlepšenie prognózy a kvality života týchto chorých, možno očakávať len od metód, ktoré rozhodujúcim spôsobom ovplyvnia podstatu chronického srdcového zlyhania. Tou je strata funkčných kardiomyocytov. Jedným z takýchto liečebných prístupov je transplantácia buniek. Autori podávajú prehľad o celulárnych transplantáciách ako perspektíve liečby ireverzibilných poškodení myokardu. Sústreďujú sa predovšetkým na doterajšie klinické skúsenosti s touto liečbou. V závere formulujú svoje predstavy o najbližších cieľoch vlastného klinického výskumu v tejto oblasti.
