Dr. David Greene Arizona delves into cutting-edge cardiac treatments. Greene illuminates how stem cells offer hope for heart disease patients, detailing their transformative role in tissue repair and the challenges faced in clinical implementation. A must-read for medical enthusiasts.

1. HEART REPAIR: STEM CELLS
AND THE REGENERATIVE
POTENTIAL

2. Stem cell are a type of cell that can
develop into many different types of
cells in the body. Stem cells can self-
renew, meaning they can divide and
produce more stem cells and
differentiate, becoming specialized
cell types such as heart muscle cells
or blood cells.

3. Several clinical trials have demonstrated
the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapy
for low ejection fraction. In a meta-analysis
of 23 randomized controlled trials, stem cell
therapy significantly improved ejection
fraction and reduced the risk of major
adverse cardiac events compared to
standard treatment or placebo.
CAN STEM CELLS TREAT HEART DISEASE?

4. Studies have shown that stem cells can
improve heart function in patients with
congestive heart failure. Stem cells have
been shown to stimulate the growth of new
blood vessels and heart muscle cells,
thereby improving cardiac function and
blood flow and reducing inflammation in
the heart.

5. Myocardial infarction or heart attack
occurs unless arteries in the heart have
clots that form on top of plaques or a
buildup of fat, cholesterol, calcium, or
other substances. The body loses oxygen,
the body's nutrients are destroyed, and
large parts of the body are affected.
