The field of cardiovascular regenerative medicine has made significant strides over the past decade. Clinical trials have demonstrated benefit in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and chronic heart failure (CHF). As the field has matured, it has defined novel biology and invented an array of therapeutic strategies that are currently under development. In this brief review, we attempt to conceptualize the knowledge to date as well as examine how this knowledge has been translated to various therapeutic strategies.
