Abstract

Severe congestive heart failure has a dismal prognosis despite modern pharmacological treatment including ACE-inhibitors [1, 2]. Patients with severe heart failure suffer disabling symptoms and limited exercise tolerance. Although cardiac transplantation is a solution, the supply of donor hearts will never match the need. Therefore, new treatment modalities for severe heart failure are needed.
