Diabetes induces a decrease in the number and function of different pro-angiogenic cell
types generically designated as putative endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), which …

Objective. To identify, evaluate, and synthesize evidence on the predictive power of
circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in cardiovascular disease, through a …

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Mesenchymal
stem cell (MSC) transplantation is considered a promising approach and has made …

Goal This prospective study was aimed to prove the hypothesis that multilineage-
differentiating stress-enduring (Muse) cells are mobilized from bone marrow into peripheral …

Background: The endothelium plays an important role in cardiovascular regulation, from
blood flow to platelet aggregation, immune cell infiltration and demargination. A …

Because the human heart has limited potential for regeneration, the loss of cardiomyocytes
during cardiac myopathy and ischaemic injury can result in heart failure and death. Stem cell …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have the potential to repair damaged blood vessels and
promote angiogenesis. Smoking, an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is …

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a comprehensive program, which mainly focusses on exercise
training, disease evaluation, cardiovascular risk factors control, medication therapy …

Background: The effects of chronic exposure to exercise training on vascular biomarkers
have been poorly explored. Objective: Our study aimed to compare the amounts of …

Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction
(AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome …
