Accumulating clinical and experimental evidence indicates that stem cells from various sources are promising in the treatment of cardiac dysfunction. They may be incorporated into neovascular foci and thus contribute to postnatal physiological and pathological vasculogenesis and/or produce a variety of growth factors for angiogenesis and cytokines that home other stem cells from other organs for cardiac regeneration. This review focuses on the neovascularization of stem cells from different sources in cardiac repair, with emphasis on adult stem cells.
