What Is Cardiac Cell Therapy?

In its simplest form, cardiac cell therapy is simply the use of stem cells to regenerate new heart tissue. Stem cells were originally used to grow your heart before you were born. Stem cells capable of growing new heart tissue reside in all of us. Through the use of trial-tested technologies, your own stem cells can be used to grow and repair your cardiac tissue.

The most difficult aspect of this therapy was developing a way to isolate your stem cells and put them to use to grow new heart tissue. And thanks to years of research, this process has been developed and tested in clinical trials with favorable results.

What Is The Procedure?

There is a wide variety of methods of placing stem cells in the body or near the organ they are intended to help. One procedure tested under trial is through the use of catheters (a specialized tube) and is being implemented in a new state-of-the-art clinic by a U.S. licensed veteran cardiologist. This process requires only a local anesthetic and minimal recovery time (hours vs days). And your own cardiologist is consulted closely to make sure you are a good candidate for the procedure and to monitor your improvements when you return home.
