The Myoblast Autologous Grafting in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (MAGIC) Trial

Abstract

Myoblast injections combined with coronary surgery in patients with depressed LV function failed to improve echocardiographic heart function. The increased number of early postoperative arrhythmic events after myoblast transplantation, as well as the capability of high-dose injections to revert LV remodeling, warrants further investigation.
