Cell therapy may be a promising alternative or adjunct to current treatment modalities for ischemic heart failure. But little is known on the impact of myogenic cell transplantation in large animal models of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. The aim of the present study was to explore whether an ovine model of toxin-induced heart disease could benefit from non-cultured skeletal muscle cell transplantation.
