Long-term safety, benefits of stem cell therapy for heart failure

@gjmoynihan, thank you for reporting back that the Regenerative Medicine consult service is currently unable to provide service.
Much of the work in cardiac regeneration is in the early phases of clinical trials - some in mice and a few have progressed to human trials. For heart failure (congestive heart failure), stem cell therapy is already a treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure due to heart attack. Now, new discoveries are underway to improve stem cells' regenerative therapeutic impact for many patients in need.
If you would like to consider a second opinion regarding regenerative medicine options or heart transplant at Mayo Clinic, you can talk with someone through inquiring about an appointment here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
To inquire about available clinical trials, call 800-664-4542 (toll-free) and see more information here: https://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials

Colleen thank you sooo much for responding. Although I have no history of a heart attack I do have scaring. i am curios if based on that would i benefit from stem cell? i will make contact as you instructed and see where it goes. Trying to avoid a transplant and also trying to see if this disease can be treated and reversed sooner rather than waiting until I am "sick enough" for a transplant. its a grueling day-to-day battle just waiting. thank you
