Heart attack patients will be injected with their own stem cells in new treatment

Emergency heart attack patients will be injected with their own stem cells in a dramatic new treatment.

The procedure, being pioneered by British doctors, holds out hope of a 'cure' as the stem cells repair damaged heart muscles.

The low-cost treatment, which involves removing stem cells from the patient's bone marrow, could be given within a few hours of a heart attack.

It is intended to stop patients suffering further attacks and developing heart failure, something existing treatments fail to do in many cases.

Don't these heart attack patients know that their stem cells are more valuable to Jesus than their own lives???

:sarcasm:

Serious Note: That's pretty cool, nice to see we're making strides with this research.
