Summary

This study tested a new treatment for people with heart failure caused by a past heart attack. Doctors took bone marrow cells from each patient, processed them, and injected them back into the heart. The goal was to see if this therapy could improve survival, reduce heart events, and help patients walk farther. 125 patients took part, and the results were compared to a sham procedure.
