First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether injecting lab-grown heart cells (from human embryonic stem cells) can safely improve heart function in people with long-term heart damage after a heart attack. About 18 adults aged 21-79 with chronic heart weakness will receive the cells via catheter. The main goal is to find the safest dose and see if the procedure is feasible.
