Stem cell therapy in Bangkok Thailand for cardiac
failure
Stem cell therapy has shown great promise for those that suffer
cardiac failure. There have been tests done on subjects with very
weak hearts and no stamina and most patients have shown an improvement.
The patients are treated with adult stem cells produced from their
own peripheral blood. The process involves making a small incision
to the left side of the chest wall. Cells are injected directly
into damaged heart muscle. The use of adult stem cells, rather than
fetal cells, to regenerate damaged tissue avoids the moral and technical
issues that come with stem cells from an embryonic source.
Bangkok Heart Hospital initiated this stem cell program in May
2005. So far they have treated over one hundred cases. The treatment
is relatively safe and carries only a small risk. However, the success
rate depends on the patient’s condition before the procedure
is done as well as the original cause of the heart problem. Candidates
for this procedure are patients with cardiomyopathy either ischemic
(ICM) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Bangkok Thailand would be a wonderful place to have stem cell therapy
to treat cardiac and heart failure.
