Impact of timing on efficacy and safetyof intracoronary autologous bone marrow stem cells transplantation in acute myocardial infarction: a pooled subgroup analysis of randomized controlled trials.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Late potentials (LP) on signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG), recorded 6 to 30 days after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), identify patients at risk for late arrhythmic events. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been shown to reduce ventricular remodeling and cardiovascular morta...
