Treating Congestive HF With hiPSC-CMs Through Endocardial Injection

Heart failure is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Currently drug treatments for heart failure manage the symptoms, but not restore the loss cardiomyocytes due to the very limited regenerative capability in the adult heart. Novel reparative therapies that replace the cardiomyocytes loss are highly demanded to restore the cardiac function. The main purposes of this explanatory study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the catheter-based endocardial delivery of human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes in patients with congestive heart failure.
