    摘要: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a disease condition characterized by heart failure (HF) signs and symptoms, but with normal or near normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and is not responsive to standard therapy for treatment of HF. Described herein are compositions and methods related to use of cardiosphere derived cells (CDCs) and their exosomes to improve left ventricular structure, function and overall outcome. Administration of CDCs led to improved LV relaxation, lower LV end-diastolic pressure, decreased lung congestion and enhanced survival. Lower risk of arrhythmias in HFpEF was also observed following CDC administration. Improvement of diastolic dysfunction following administration of CDC-derived exosomes was observed, along with decreased mortality. In view of these salutary effects, CDCs and CDC-derived exosomes are beneficial in the treatment of HFpEF.

    摘要: A method for producing cardiomyocyte cells including implanting a substrate within a heart such that a first portion of the substrate is in physical contact with an endocardium and a second portion of the substrate is not in contact with the endocardium, maintaining the first portion of the substrate in contact with the endocardium for a time at least sufficient to form trabecular fibers extending between the endocardium and the second portion of the substrate, cutting away the trabecular fibers from the endocardium, cutting away the trabecular fibers from the substrate, and removing the trabecular fibers from the heart, wherein the trabecular fibers include cardiomyocyte cells.
