In this presentation, Dr. David Greene R3 Stem Cell discusses stem cell therapy for Cardiac Disease. Cardiac Disease is a systemic disease affecting all organ systems in the body. Stem cells are a unique cell type characterized by two vital qualities: The ability to self-renew, and the potential to distinguish into various cell types.

2. What Is Cardiovascular Disease?
Cardiovascular disease constitutes the primary
cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and
represents a group of disorders associated with the
loss of cardiac function.

3. • Valvular heart disease affects how the valves pump
blood flow in and out of the heart.
• Cardiomyopathy affects the contractions of the heart muscle.
• Heart arrhythmias are disturbances in the electrical conduction making the
heartbeat irregular.
• Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of cardiovascular disease

4. The heart muscle relies on
a steady flow of oxygen-
rich blood to nourish it and
keep it pumping. During a
heart attack, that blood
flow is interrupted by a
blockage in an artery.
A new treatment using
stem cells—which have the
potential to grow into a
variety of heart cell types—
could potentially repair
and regenerate damaged
heart tissue.
Repairing The Heart With
Stem Cells

5. Stem Cell Therapy
For The Heart
Several different types of approaches
are being used to repair damaged
heart muscle with stem cells. The
stem cells, which are often taken from
bone marrow, may be inserted into
the heart using a catheter. Once in
place, stem cells help regenerate
damaged heart tissue.

6. "Ensuring that your heart is healthy is a daily
responsibility you owe yourself. Think about
how you move and what you eat. Those
seemingly mundane things have a huge impact
on your heart."
