Core Tip Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have important potential for use in the treatment of ischemic diseases. However, their clinical application is limited by the lack of unambiguous and consistent definitions. This article reviews the definition of EPCs, their status in subjects with cardiovascular disease and discusses strategies to enhance EPCs for treatment of ischemic diseases. In patients with cardiovascular conditions who may require EPC administration, EPC numbers are low and EPCs are dysfunctional. Augmenting these cells may eventually improve their clinical efficacy.
