Abstract
End-stage heart failure myocardium demonstrated an age-independent increase in CSCs relative to healthy myocardium; however, these CSCs from ESHF patients may have diminished proliferative ability and reduced functionality as an autologous cell therapy candidate. Further investigation is necessary to determine the role of ESHF-derived CSCs within the myocardium.
