Intramuscular Injection of Mesenchymal Stem Cell for Treatment of Children With Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

October 27, 2010 updated by: Qingdao University

Effects of Intramuscular Injection of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell on the Ventricular Function of Children With Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

The main aim of the study is to determine whether intramuscular injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can improve the ventricular function of children with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy(IDCM); Secondary end-points will be: 1)To explore the possible mechanism of the improvement of ventricular function in children with IDCM and 2) to evaluate the safety of intramuscular injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell.
