This is great news for people suffering from heart problems: Congenitive heart failure, which is caused by the loss of heart muscles, affects almost 5 million Americans.? Even with all of the treatments physicians currently have, the current prognosis for congentive heart failure isn’t good.

Researchers have conducted studies by injecting failing hearts with the patient’s stem cells.? The studies have shown that these hearts have begun to pump blood more efficiently.? While more studies are needed before this can become a routine procedure, this is a great step forward in from simply treating symptoms to actually working to repair the “problem”.
