The discovery of a new treatment for heart attacks based on the injection of heart muscle cells


A study issued by the University of Alabama in Birmingham, British, has found a new treatment technique for recovering from heart attacks by injecting heart muscle cells in people with heart failure and those who are prone to heart attacks, according to the Medicinal Express website.



The researchers explained that the new technique depends on the injection of heart muscle cells that increase the secretion of cyclin, after the study was conducted on samples from animals that were injected with stem cells, which work to regenerate the muscle tissue that has suffered from the effects of heart attacks that affect the wall. Cardiac muscles, as this dead tissue can strain surrounding muscles, resulting in a fatal heart enlargement.

 

The researchers pointed out that creating new tissue by placing a patch of heart muscle cells or injecting heart cells, to replace damaged muscles, or by stimulating the division of heart muscle cells located near the affected area, works to recover from heart attacks.

 

The study showed that after the study samples had heart attacks, about 30 million human muscle cells were injected into the heart tissue around the site of the infarction, which showed enhanced efficacy for heart repair.

The researchers noted that this treatment technique showed results after 4 weeks and succeeded in reducing heart enlargement rates, reducing the volume of dead muscle tissue and improving heart function, which also contributed to the formation and development of blood vessels, so this technique may become an effective future strategy for repairing heart muscle and preventing heart failure. Congestive heart failure in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

 

A heart attack occurs as a result of several factors and causes that help in the occurrence of it, the most important of which are diseases of the blood vessels, muscles, valves, or internal electrical pathways responsible for muscle contraction.


Among the most prominent signs of infection are chest pain that may spread to the back, neck, arms or jaw, feeling dizzy, nausea and vomiting, fast or irregular heartbeat, and shortness of breath.
