Brief Summary

Impaired contractile function after a heart attack of the heart is a major cause of "heart failure" limiting quality of life and prognosis, which cannot be prevented even with optimal standard therapy...

Detailed Description

* The study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter trial. * Patients after an acute myocardial infarction, undergoing successful reperfusion therapy are included. * All patient...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion
