|---|---|
| Main Objective: To study the kinetics of mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and endothelial progenitors (EP) in the peripheral blood by Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) and/or Erythropoietin (EPO) stimulation.;Secondary Objective: To examine the HSC, MSC and EP content in the bone marrow of patients with chronic ischemic cardiopathy, before and during mobilization by growth factors. To study the effects of stem cell mobilization on myocardial perfusion and function.;Primary end point(s): 1. Number of HSC, MSC and EP mobilized in peripheral blood 2. Kinetics of mobilization | — |
