title: Protocols for myocardial infarction repair using fetal cardiac myocytes.
abstract: We review an experimental protocol for investigating concepts and methods for myocardial repair using fetal cardiomyocyte transplantation. We describe methods of cell isolation, culture, labeling, and assessment of the influence of the engrafted cells on left ventricular remodeling and function.
