and function after a heart attack Though sufferers of heart attacks may survive the initial event, they cause permanent damage to the organ in the form of scar tissue,
which affects its ability to pump blood. Scientists around the world are working on this problem, with hydrogels,
In pigs that had suffered from a heart attack, blood pumped out of the left ventricle was reduced from the normal 50 percent to 30 percent.
One of her daughters has a usually fatal lung condition called pulmonary arterial hypertension. In addition to GM pigs, her company is carrying out research on tissue-engineered lungs and cryopreservation of organs. ee turning xenotransplantation from
saving the lives of people who would otherwise die from heart failure. In the U s. about 2, 400 heart transplant occur each year,
Researchers develop a faster way to treat the heart after a heart attack Stem cell have been the main focus of healing therapy research
For healing after a heart attack, the ideal time to administer these therapies is when reopening the clogged blood vessel
While stem cells show promise for heart attack treatment, the process of harvesting and reintroducing the cells
Heart attacks occur when the heart's blood vessel is blocked and blood flow stops, cutting off oxygen to the heart.
and tested the microspheres'effectiveness in pigs with induced heart attacks. The researchers observed that the microspheres were not toxic
It also did not decrease the size of the area damaged by the heart attack or the composition of the scar.
the study shows that microsphere therapy can potentially be an"off-the-shelf and immediate alternative to stem cell therapy"for treating heart attacks and potentially other diseases s
