Regenerative medicine could potentially cure diseases and
may replace palliative treatments for chronic diseases. Stem cells in particular
have been studied for their regenerative properties: their potential to repair
or replace damaged or diseased human cells or tissues to restore normal
function. Studies of stem cell therapies targeting cardiovascular indications
such as heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI), cardiomyopathy (CM),
and left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) aim to demonstrate that stem cells
injected into the circulation or directly into the injured heart tissue improve
cardiac function and/or induce the formation of new capillaries.
Components of the report include:
Cardiovascular Disease
Stem cell development will continue to move towards more prevalent and chronic
CV indications
Stem Cells
Type, quantity, integration, and mode of administration of cells are important
considerations to maximize therapeutic effect and minimize risks
Market Access
Cost and unmet need will determine reimbursement status in the US
