Question

What is the success rate of stem cell therapy for Heart Failure & Cardiac Repair?

Functional improvement (ejection-fraction increase ≥5%, symptomatic relief, reduced dyspnoea or exercise intolerance) is reported in 45–60% of treated cohorts over 12 months. Heart-failure symptom class improvement (NYHA functional class reduction by ≥1 level) occurs in 40–50%. Complete ejection-fraction normalisation is uncommon; most benefit manifests as slowing decline, stabilisation, or modest improvement enabling reduced pharmacotherapy dependence or increased daily exertion capacity.

What the evidence shows for Heart Failure & Cardiac Repair

Clinical trial data encompasses phase I–II safety documentation and phase II efficacy assessment across >3,000 treated patients globally. Representative studies report left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) improvements of 5–10 percentage points (e.g., 25% → 35%) in 40–55% of treated cohorts over 6–12 months. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging shows reduction in scar size and infarct zone wall thickness in responders. Exercise tolerance (6-minute walk distance, VO₂ max) improves modestly in 45–50%. Hospitalisation rates for acute decompensation decline by 25–40% in some cohorts over 12-month follow-up. Mortality benefit remains unproven in phase II; pivotal trials are ongoing.
