Abstract 4144084: Enhanced External Counterpulsation as a Novel Treatment for Heart Transplant Candidates with Ischemic Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4144084-A4144084, November 12, 2024. Despite being a heart transplantation candidate, she declined revascularization and sought alternative treatments for angina, dyspnea, and daily activity limitations. The patient underwent EECP, consisting of 35 one-hour sessions over seven weeks.

Using Stem Cell-derived Heart Muscle Cells to Advance Heart Regenerative Therapy

DAIC

Study shows that cardiac spheroids, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, can be easily transported and injected into damaged areas of the heart to promote its regeneration and recovery of function. Heart attacks typically kill millions of cardiac muscle cells, leaving the heart in a weakened state.
