T1 - The consensus of the task force of the European Society of Cardiology concerning the clinical investigation of the use of autologous adult stem cells for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction and heart failure : update 2016 T2 - European heart journal N2 - In 2006, the Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology published its consensus document on the use of autologous cell therapy for repair of the heart. Since then, there have been numerous clinical trials and analyses performed to establish the role of autologous cell therapy in the treatment of both acute and chronic cardiac disease. The majority of these studies have been Phase II clinical trials. Phase III clinical trials of autologous cell therapy have been launched (e.g. BAMI), which marks the successful progression of clinical investigation of autologous cell therapy in heart disease. The Task Force has reviewed its 2006 recommendations and the developments in this area of research and proposes updated recommendations for the future of autologous cell therapy in the heart. This article does not duplicate the many reviews on stem cells and the heart but gives considered recommendations based on the experience from the last 10 years.
