Potential for Adult Stem Cells to Repair Hearts Damaged by Severe Coronary Artery Disease Investigated by Rush Cardiologists

Source: Rush University Medical Center
Date: January 10, 2007

Summary:

Rush University Medical Center is participating in a novel clinical trial to determine if a subject’s own stem cells can treat a form of severe coronary artery disease. Researchers are hoping that the stem cells will be able to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels to bring more blood and oxygen to the heart muscle, so patients will have a better quality of life and less chest pain.
