Ages Eligible for Study: | 20 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
- Clinical symptoms consistent with AMI for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 12 hours from onset of symptoms to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), and unresponsive to nitroglycerin
- Successful revascularization of the culprit lesion in the major epicardial vessel
- Area of hypo- or akinesia corresponding to the culprit lesion, as determined by left ventriculogram at the time of primary PCI
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥30% and ≤50% by Left Ventricular Angiography at the time of successful revascularization.
- Ability to undergo liposuction
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior MI, prior known cardiomyopathy, or prior hospital admission for congestive heart failure (CHF)
- More than 24 hours after acute PCI
- Significant valvular disease
- More than twelve hours between the onset of first symptoms of AMI and revascularization
- Hemodynamic instability within 24 hours prior to randomization
- Neoplasia
- Acute or chronic bacterial or viral infectious disease
- Pacemaker, ICD or any other contra-indication for MRI
- LVEF <30% or >50% by Left Ventricular Angiography
- Moderate or severe COPD
