| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Main goal is the combination therapy of extracorporal shock waves prior to intracoronary cell therapy to induce cardiac regeneration and improve left ventricular remodeling and global or regional LV-Function. Shock waves increase growth factors and may induce homing of progenitor cell to the target tissue ;Secondary Objective: Patients will be randomised to 5 groups High dose Shock waves + Cell therapy or placebo Low dose Shock waves + Cell therapy or placebo Placebo Shock waves + Cell therapy;Primary end point(s): Improvement of global LV-function as assessed by LV-angiography or MRT. | — |
