STEM CELL THERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF HEART DISEASE DR. DAVID GREENE ARIZONA
Stem Cell Therapy: Helping the Body Heal Itself Stem cells are nature’s own transformers. When the body is injured, stem cells travel the scene of the accident. Some come from the bone marrow, a modest number of others, from the heart itself. Additionally, they’re not all the same. There, they may help heal damaged tissue
Important information about stem cell trials
Stem cell trials are randomized controlled studies – not all patients who undergo evaluation for stem cell trials will receive stem cell therapy All stem cell studies have strict protocols, approved by the FDA and the Cleveland Clinic Institutional Review Board for inclusion and exclusion criteria Each study has different protocols and the stem cells are accessed and administered differently, and have different criteria for follow-up.
ARE THEY EFFECTIVE IN TREATING DISEASE CONDITION OF THE HEART?
The answer is Yes. They are effective and there are so many studies showing that they are more effective than any other drug used for heart disease. There are so many phase 1 and phase 2 trial showing that they are effective
WHAT HEART CONDITIONS STEM CELLS ARE USED? Currently stem cells can be used after heart attack for myocardial function, can be used in the treatment of heart failure and can be used in treatment of people who has intractable angina although they are on maximum antiangina therapy and they have done all types of coronary revascularization
