Abstract: A method and system for reducing vascular plaque non-invasively including imaging at least a portion of a mammalian body to produce an image; determining the location of at least one vascular plaque in said image; ascertaining the location of the base of said vascular plaque, said location of base being the target location; precisely determining the relative position of said target location with respect to the cardiac rhythm in the body; delivering a beam of ultrasound energy waves from a source to the relative position to elevate temperature of said target location in a pre-determined manner; monitoring the temperature of the target location; and discontinuing delivery of ultrasound energy waves when said target location achieves a predetermined set temperature.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cardiomyocyte progenitor cells (CMPCs), to methods for their isolation and to the use of this CMPCs for the provision of cardiomyocytes, by way of differentiating the obtained CMPCs with a demethylating agent. The present invention also relates to pharmaceuticals compositions comprising cardiomyocytes for use in a cardiomyocyte replacement therapy and/or for the treatment in myocardial infarctation or for ameliorating the effects of myocardial infarctation.
