Abstract
Methods are described for using compositions containing platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of acute or chronic dysfunction of cardiac muscle. The method may employ a kit which includes a platelet-rich plasma composition and a pH adjusting agent and a catheter or syringe for delivery of the platelet-rich plasma composition to dysfunctional cardiac muscle. The kit may also include a syringe for withdrawing blood from a patient and a centrifuge device means to obtain platelet-rich plasma.
Claims5
A method of treating myocardial infarction in an individual comprising introducing an unactivated platelet-rich plasma composition via catheter or syringe into an area of dysfunctional cardiac muscle using a kit comprising:
- a syringe for withdrawing blood from a patient;
- a centrifuge device to obtain platelet-rich plasma;
- a pH adjusting agent for the platelet-rich plasma to provide a platelet-rich composition having a pH of about 7.3 to 7.5;
- and
- a catheter or syringe for delivery of the platelet-rich plasma composition to dysfunctional cardiac muscle, thereby treating myocardial infarction.
