Abstract: Bone marrow stem cells are a population of multipotent cells,including two types of hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells,which are widely exist in bone marrow tissue.With the capacity of self-renewal and multiple differentiation,under certain conditions,bone marrow stem cells can be induced to differentiate into a variety of cells including myocardial cells and be used as ideal seed cells for tissue and organ damage caused by aging and disease, especially for the clinical treatment of cardiovascular disease,such as myocardial infarction,ischemic heart failure,intractable angina,dilated cardiomyopathy and so on.The progress on the bone marrow stem cells for the treatment of cardiovascular disease were reviewed in this paper.

Key words: bone marrow stem cell, myocardial infarction, ischemic heart failure, intractable angina, dilated cardiomyopathy
