Research Study Shows Adult Stem Cells Effective For Heart Disease
A new double blind study just released this month proves that adult stem cells are effective for heart disease patients. The Reinfusion of Enriched Progenitor Cells And Infarct Remodeling in Acute Myocardial Infarction (REPAIR-AMI) research trial shows that patients who received their
own stem cells after a heart attack did significantly better than patients who didn't receive adult stem cells after a heart attack.
From the
stem cell research study:
The statistics that shouldn't give anyone a heart attack if you know even a little bit about adult stem cells are as follows:
- 101 heart attack patients were given their own adult stem cells, 103 heart attack patients received a placebo.
- 2 years after their heart attack, 0 patients who had been given stem cells had suffered a 2nd heart attack, while 7 heart attack patients from the placebo group did have a second heart attack. This is a statistically significant difference.
- 3 out of 101 heart attack patients given stem cells died, 8 heart attack patients given the placebo died.
- Only 1 out of 101 patients given stem cells had to return to the hospital for congestive heart failure, while 5 of the 103 heart attack patients given the placebo were rehospitalized for heart failure.
When We Be Able To Get Stem Cells?
All stats favor the the
heart attack patients who received their own adult stem cells. This shouldn't surprise anyone and is just further proof that adult stem cells should be given to every heart attack patient as a standard medical intervention. The fact that stem cell therapy is still not available to the millions of heart attack patients around the world every year is practically a crime against humanity. I can't think of a reason NOT to give these patients stem cells.
More Research Is Needed? Why?
Of course, Dr. Birgit Assmus, the leader of the study, and assistant professor of cardiology at J.W. Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, plays down his impressive results and says " "More research is needed, but this gives us a hint of what might be possible with this new treatment — prevention of another heart attack and of rehospitalization for heart failure, both life-threatening complications." Assmus also says "Large, randomized trials are urgently needed to assess the effects of progenitor-cell therapy in patients with heart attacks."
Just once, I want to hear one of these doctors who complete these stem cell research trials with tremendous results say "YES, I just proved that adult stem cells are effective. Let's start using them!!" That would be better than these "medical establishment" correct statements that just say "we need more money for more research studies."
But bravo anyhow to Dr. Assmus. Well done.
