Heart failure is a major chronic illness, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. The most frequent cause of heart failure withreduced ejection fraction is coronary artery disease. Although revascularisation of ischaemic myocardium leads to improvementsin contractility of viable myocardium and systolic function, it can not restore the viability of an already necrotic tissue. In our review,we focus on the use of autologous bone marrow stem cells in the treatment of patients with heart failure due to ischaemicmyocardial injury.
