Background-Experimental and initial clinical studies suggest that transplantation of circulating blood-(CPC) or bone marrow-derived (BMC) progenitor cells may beneficially affect postinfarction remodeling processes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To relate functional characteristics of the infused cells to quantitative measures of outcome at 4-month follow-up, we performed serial contrast-enhanced MRI and assessed the migratory capacity of the transplanted progenitor cells immediately before intracoronary infusion.Methods and Results-In 28 patients with reperfused AMI receiving either BMCs or CPCs into the infarct artery 4.7+/-1.7 days after AMI, serial contrast-enhanced MRI performed initially and after 4 months revealed a significant increase in global ejection fraction (from 44+/-10% to 49+/-10%; P=0.003), a decrease in end-systolic volume (from 69+/-26 to 60+/-28 mL; P=0.003), and unchanged end-diastolic volumes (122+/-34 versus 117+/-37 mL; P=NS). Infarct size, measured as late enhancement (LE) volume, decreased significantly, from 46+/-32 to 37+/-28 mL (P
