Condition
Cardiovascular Disease
Early-stage research on ischaemia and vascularisation.
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.
