First seen Mar 19, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tested whether injecting a patient's own expanded stem cells into the heart could improve recovery after a severe heart attack. It included 49 adults whose heart pumping ability remained below 50% after the attack. The approach used an automated system to grow stem cells from the patient's blood before injecting them into the heart, compared to standard care.
