Cardiac regeneration

#Cardiac_regeneration is a broad effort that aims to repair irreversibly damaged #heart_tissue with cutting-edge science, including stem cell and #cell-free therapy. Reparative tools have been engineered to restore damaged heart tissue and function using the body's natural ability to #regenerate. Working together, patients and providers are finding regenerative solutions that restore, renew and #recycle patients' own reparative capacity. Through the vision and generous support of Russ and Kathy Van Cleve, strong efforts are underway to develop discoveries that will have a global impact on ischemic #heart disease.

#Heart attacks, the number one cause of heart failure, are caused by a sudden 

catastrophic death of hundreds of millions of #heart_muscle cells – functioning cells that cannot be replaced by the normal healing process. At the Center for Regenerative Medicine, we are working toward an actual cure for #heart failure by regenerating lost heart muscle cells and eliminating the need for #life-long treatments with expensive drugs and devices. Such a cure could save thousands of lives, improve the quality lives of millions of #heart failure patients and save the #health care economy billions of dollars every year.
