The Cure for Heart Disease:
Truth Will Save a Nation
It was reported that after a heart transplant, the cells in the heart muscle from the person who received the new heart could migrate to the heart that was transplanted into the recipient. Once there, they could grow and replicate.
This is surprising information, because it's long been believed that heart cells could not be repaired or regenerated in any way. Since this evidence has come to light, some scientists now believe that there may be heart stem cells, which could help in research into treatments for various heart conditions.

"I used to think that there was nothing one could do about the chronic diseases of aging such as heart disease and strokes. It is exciting and heartening to learn that there is something one can do to prevent, arrest and even reverse heart disease. The proof is shown in the stunning photos of actual angiograms before and after Dr. Esslestyn's treatment (you can actually see that the arteries are wider after the treatment!) and more importantly, in the remarkable improvement in his patients that he tells about."

But this finding leads scientists to believe that this could change in the future. Since it's been discovered that heart muscle cells can heal themselves under certain circumstances, it leads researchers to believe that treatments could be developed in the future that would allow heart tissue to be regenerated after suffering damage.
If heart stem cells do exist, then there might be a way to stimulate them to regenerate themselves and heal damaged heart muscle cells. Research is already under way at several different institutions in an attempt to figure out whether this type of regeneration can be reproduced.

Proof There's Promising Heart Disease Science on the Horizon
Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease
If heart stem cells do exist, it might be a very long time before scientists are able to get permission to perform the required studies on the cells, and even longer before any practical use is found for them.
Still, these findings can be very good news for people who develop heart damage in the future.
Someday there might be treatments that would help the heart repair itself, which could increase the life expectancy for victims of heart disease or heart attack.

- I like your lens too and I also do support stem cell research! My site also talks about heart disease and I talk about how a powerful ingredient, L-Arginine, may help to reverse some of the cardiovascular symptoms! Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge!!!!

- Great Lens! I support stem cell research for all purposes, especially heart regeneration. IMHO you should add an argument module and bring the fight right to your lens.
