Ischemic coronary disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Most available therapeutic approaches aim either at relieving symptoms by reducing myocardial oxygen demand, preventing further disease progression by modifying risk factors, restoring flow to a localized segment of the arterial tree (PTCA or CABG). Therapeutic angiogenesis may restore flow to the ischemic myocardium by creating new venues for blood flow. The purpose of the present investigation will be to examine the therapeutic potential of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in human ischemic heart disease using percutaneous intrapericardial delivery, define optimal outcome measures for clinical angiogenesis studies using a novel magnetic resonance imaging technique and Biosense electromechanical mapping, and explore novel growth factor deliver methods in animal models of myocardial ischemia, including intramyocardial delivery and gene therapy. We will conduct a clinical trial of therapeutic angiogenesis in patients with ischemic heart disease who are suboptimal candidates for standard revascularization strategies. This trial will examine the angiogenic efficacy of bFGF administered using a novel percutaneous subxyphoid intrapericardial delivery technique. We will investigate the effects of bFGF treatment on clinical parameters, left ventricular function, coronary angiography, and on the size and extent of myocardial ischemia using stress nuclear perfusion scans. Biosense NOGA outcome variables in several ongoing clinical angiogenesis studies and laser myocardial revascularization studies comparing these two treatment strategies. In particular, we will validate two novel outcome measures: magnetic resonance imaging and Biosense NOGA mapping. Finally, we will develop novel delivery strategies in a porcine model of chronic myocardial ischemia and mouse matrigel and infarction models including intramyocardial delivery and gene therapy, and compare protein and gene therapy strategies for growth factor-induced angiogenesis. These novel delivery strategy, if successful, will be investigated clinically. These interrelated projects constitute a cohesive research program aimed at elucidating various aspects of therapeutic angiogenesis. Even though the problem, we wish to address, the techniques involved are necessarily broad, ranging from clinical trials, investigation of novel delivery strategies in animal models, and development of a standardized platforms for the conduction of future trials. This should lead to a novel approach to the treatment of ischemic heart disease and a better understanding of the mechanisms of growth- factor and laser induced "angiogenesis".

缺血性冠状动脉疾病是西方世界发病和死亡的主要原因。大多数可用的治疗方法旨在通过减少心肌需氧量来缓解症状，通过改变危险因素来防止疾病进一步进展，恢复动脉树局部节段（PTCA 或 CABG）的血流。治疗性血管生成可以通过创造新的血流场所来恢复缺血心肌的血流。本研究的目的是通过经皮心包内递送检查碱性成纤维细胞生长因子 (bFGF) 在人类缺血性心脏病中的治疗潜力，使用新型磁共振成像技术和 Biosense 机电图确定临床血管生成研究的最佳结果测量，并探索心肌缺血动物模型中新的生长因子递送方法，包括心肌内递送和基因治疗。我们将对缺血性心脏病患者进行治疗性血管生成的临床试验，这些患者是标准血运重建策略的次优候选者。该试验将检查使用新型经皮剑突下心包内递送技术施用的 bFGF 的血管生成功效。我们将研究 bFGF 治疗对临床参数、左心室功能、冠状动脉造影以及使用应激核灌注扫描对心肌缺血的大小和程度的影响。 Biosense NOGA 在几项正在进行的临床血管生成研究和激光心肌血运重建研究中比较这两种治疗策略的结果变量。特别是，我们将验证两种新颖的结果测量：磁共振成像和 Biosense NOGA 绘图。最后，我们将在慢性心肌缺血的猪模型以及小鼠基质胶和梗塞模型中开发新的递送策略，包括心肌内递送和基因治疗，并比较生长因子诱导的血管生成的蛋白质和基因治疗策略。这些新颖的递送策略如果成功，将进行临床研究。这些相互关联的项目构成了一个有凝聚力的研究计划，旨在阐明治疗性血管生成的各个方面。尽管我们希望解决这个问题，但所涉及的技术必然很广泛，包括临床试验、动物模型中新型递送策略的研究以及用于未来试验的标准化平台的开发。这应该会带来一种治疗缺血性心脏病的新方法，并更好地理解生长因子和激光诱导的“血管生成”的机制。
