Condition

Cardiovascular Disease

Early-stage research on ischaemia and vascularisation.

Level D· Preclinical Evidence

Quick summary

  • Should remain within research contexts only

Overview

Cardiac cell therapy has a long research history with uncertain results.

Mechanisms studied

Studied for angiogenesis and reduced remodelling.

Human research

Small trials report safety findings.

Safety

Reported adverse events are mostly local — swelling, pain, or bruising at the harvest and injection sites. Infection and cell-processing quality remain the key risks to monitor.

Evidence limitations

Existing studies are limited by sample size, methodology, and follow-up, and SVF preparation differs substantially between centres, making cross-study comparison difficult.
