Abstract
To investigate the mobilization of non-haematopoietic and haematopoietic cells from the bone marrow induced by intramyocardial VEGF gene therapy and G-CSF treatment alone or in combination in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease (IHD). Secondly, we tested the hypothesis that the quantity of circulating stem cells correlated with improvement in symptoms.
