This document discusses the potential of cell therapy in treating myocardial infarction. It notes that while drug treatments and procedures have reduced mortality rates, a large number of patients still experience reduced heart function and quality of life due to permanent heart cell loss. The discovery that stem cells can differentiate into heart cells raised hopes that cell transplantation could regenerate damaged heart tissue. Early animal and clinical studies reported improvements, but larger trials have yielded mixed results. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help advance the field by tracking transplanted cells and evaluating treatment outcomes. The document reviews various MRI cell labeling techniques used to visualize transplanted cells, such as labeling with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles.
