Table 3 Summary of clinical trials: Effect of heart failure on endothelial progenitor cells
| Ref. | Subjects | EPCs (number/function) | Findings |
| Valgimigli et al[28] | 45 healthy controls 91 CHF | CD34+, CD34+/CD133+/KDR+ (flow cytometry) | CD34+ and CD34+/CD133+/KDR+ are significantly elevated in CHF patients compared to controls EPC number is negatively correlated with NYHA functional class |
| Nonaka-Sarukawa et al[29] | 22 healthy controls 16 mild CHF 10 severe CHF | CD34+ (flow cytometry) | CD34+ is significantly higher in mild CHF compared to severe CHF |
| Michowitz et al[30] | 107 CHF | CFU | CFU is the independent predictor for CHF CFU is also negatively correlated with NYHA functional class |
