Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: Improve mortality in patients with symptomatic chronic post-infarction heart failure under full dose conventional medical and device treatment<br>including resynchronization therapy frequently by intracoronary infusion of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells.;Secondary Objective: Improve morbidity in patients with symptomatic chronic post-infarction heart failure under full dose conventional medical and device treatment including resynchronization therapy frequently by intracoronary infusion of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells.;Primary end point(s): 2-year observed mortality is significantly lower in patients receiving 2 repeated intracoronary applications of autologous bone marrow-derived cells (t2c001) compared to patients receiving 1 intracoronary application of autologous bone marrow-derived cells (t2c001);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 2 years after inclusion into the trial
