The translation of cardiac cell repair therapy into the clinical arena is indeed an intriguing but challenging objective. The field is still in it,s relative infancy and the road of exploration will lengthy and difficult. Expectations need to be tempered and realistic but this is the focus of a massive international research effort and rapid progress is being made. Clinicians should become familiar with the terminology and concepts and follow with interest even if from a distance If cardiac cell repair therapy fulfills it,s potential , this could revolutionize the treatment of heart disease and we can expect that the rate of translational research will accelerate, even if it,s role as a routine part of the clinical armamentarium is a long way off
