MSC injected with BM into swine infarct results in overexpression of cardiac tenascin, increased the magnitude of cardiac nerve sprouting in both atria and ventricles, and increased the magnitude of atrial sympathetic hyperinnervation 2 months after injection.

In dogs and swine, the highest DF and majority of reentrant wavefronts during VF with acute global ischemia or during a propranolol infusion were located on the PPM. RF ablation targeted at the PPM reduced the inducibility of VF in normal dogs. However, the same ablation provoked incessant VF in swine, preventing subsequent testing of VF inducibility.

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the antiarrhythmic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) under a different environment.
