It’s a great weekend morning,
you don’t have to prepare your kids for the school, neither in a hurry to make
lunch, nor to rush to the office. You glance over and are delighted to watch
your husband and children, who are still in a bed! With the relax state of
mind, you go to your favorite window, facing lush green gardens and fountains
and enjoy the nature with a cup of tea as a supplementary pleasure. Suddenly
you feel that your hands are shaking, which increase to the extent that you no
longer able to hold the cup! You feel short of your breath, start sweating
profusely and feel the strong initiation of an arrow of pain from the middle of
the chest to the neck which disappear within no time! You just sit on the chair, relax with your
head down on the table. Although after few fractions of minutes, everything
start getting under control. When you get complete hold over your normal being,
you have a glass of water, and start wondering, what happened to you but then
ignored immediately as mere a state or stress! Have you ever experienced this?
If yes, then please don’t ignore it as just a state or stress, but it’s the
first signal given from your heart, that it is getting weak and need your
attention!

It is very alarming
that the heart diseases, are the leading cause of death affecting people of all
age groups and backgrounds. There are many people who survived the heart attack
but are left with the scar tissue, reducing the heart’s pumping ability to one
third! They can’t dance, can’t play with their children, can’t enjoy life and
sleep every night wondering if they could wake up in the morning! Every year,
thousands of victims undergoing heart treatments and suffering from consequences
post surgeries pray and wish to find out
an alternative medicinal boon, which can transform their weak heart into the
strong one without the need for the surgery and medicines. This desperation,
motivated many scientists worldwide to gain access over stem cell treatment. Stem cell therapy for heart disease is a contemporary recipe, employing
strategies such as damaged cell regeneration, improved muscle movement thereby
increases pumping capacity.
Stem cells are the
master cells of the body, which are capable of differentiating into many or all
kinds of cells. These adult stem cells lie dormant in an adult tissue. We have
a quota of them even in our heart! These cells are involved in replacing the
damaged cardiac cells in case of normal wear and tear of the heart. Although in
case of diseased condition, the heart tissue is already damaged due to
excessive resident cell death and hence impose heavy burden on stem cells to
remove, replace and regenerate the scar tissue. However, at some point of time,
these stem cells are unable to cope up with the burden and need an extra force
to help them. This is not the reason for the attack, though it can be one of
the reasons of major heart failure. In that regard, the very recently invented Stem Cells have shown great promises in cardiac regeneration as opposed to clinical
controversies. As many as 5000 clinical trials are underway all over the world,
demonstrating an effectiveness of stem cells as a potential medicine in
treating heart diseases and have so far shown no medical complications.
Since, your own
stem cells are employed for the treatment which are isolated from the two most
potent sources such as bone marrow and adipose tissue, the heart would repair
itself to the great extent, posing no harm in terms of immunological
rejections. The injected stem cells will immediately start migrating to the
scarred tissue if injected intravenously, and become damaged heart muscle
cells, this way the heart can be way back to the normal.
Thus, with each
advancing day, the progress is happening in every aspect of stem celltherapy for cardiac diseases, making physicians enthusiastic and
hopeful to treat the patients suffering from heart diseases in a better way and
getting them back to the life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
