Therapy
A severe heart attack can lead to chronic heart failure that weakens heart function and reduces life expectancy. Current approved treatments mainly address symptoms but do not regenerate the damaged heart, therefore there is a high unmet need for alternative treatments. Regenerative Medicine emerges as a new breakthrough model of medicine that provides a therapeutic solution to regenerate both structurally and functionally the damaged organ.
CellProthera has followed up the patients treated in its pilot study for more than 15 years, and has shown survival and improvement of these patients. No other existing treatment whether it is stent, bypass or other drugs has shown such results.
