Figure 8. Correlation of CDC Properties With Scar Mass Changes in CADUCEUS Patients.
Linear regression analysis was performed to reveal the relationship between various paracrine factors/gene expression levels and the changes of the patients’ cardiac scar tissue mass over the 6-month follow-up. Only SDF-1 levels reveal a significant correlation with decreasing scar mass. Data are presented as means ± SD. a.u. = arbitrary units; CADUCEUS = CArdiosphere-Derived aUtologous stem CElls to reverse ventricUlar dysfunction.
