Rationale: Potential benefits of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy in heart failure may be related to paracrine properties and systemic effects, including anti-inflammatory activities. If this hypothesis is valid, intravenous administration of MSCs should improve outcomes in heart failure, an entity in which excessive chronic inflammation may play a pivotal role.Objective: To assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of intravenously administered ischemia-tolerant MSCs (itMSCs) in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy.Methods and Results: This was a single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, randomized phase II-a trial of nonischemic cardiomyopathy patients with left ventricular ejection fraction
