What Is Cardiac Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cells promote the regeneration of heart muscle and blood vessels in damaged and necrotic areas through differentiation, fusion, and paracrine effects, thereby improving cardiac function. The method of treating cardiovascular disease is called stem cell transplantation for treating cardiovascular disease. Myocardial cell irreversible death is one of the most important acceleration factors in the pathogenesis of heart disease such as myocardial infarction and heart failure. Drug therapy, interventional therapy, surgery, and device therapy can improve the prognosis of cardiovascular disease, but they are powerless for necrotic myocardium. Stem cell transplantation can remedy this deficiency and may be a promising treatment. Many clinical experimental studies have explored stem cell transplantation The value of ischemic heart disease and heart failure proves the safety and feasibility of stem cell transplantation, but the results about its effectiveness are not consistent.
