Although myoblast transplantation in patients with ischemic heart failure results in a significant improvement of cardiac function, subsequent studies have consistently shown the myotubes formation in the absence of electromechanical coupling with the neighboring host myocardium, accompanied with the short-term release of paracrine effectors from implanted cells. One major pitfall of using myoblasts is that transplanted cells do not differentiate into cardiomyocytes, which may cause the inherent proarrhythmogenic events. Therefore, whether a discrete subpopulation in heterogeneous muscle-cell cultures is responsible for substantial cardiovascular regeneration has yet to be investigated.
