Imaging Cardiac Stem Cell Therapy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cardiac Regeneration

Part of the book series: Cardiac and Vascular Biology ((Abbreviated title: Card. vasc. biol.,volume 4))

Abstract

Cardiac stem cell therapy is a promising approach to repair an injured heart. Noninvasive imaging can be tremendously useful for characterizing its therapeutic mechanisms and efficacy. In this chapter, we summarize the roles of various imaging modalities in assessing cell fate and cardiac function following stem cell therapy. The advancement of these imaging technologies is crucial for the full clinical translation of cardiac stem cell therapy.
