Ever thought that something as simple as a needle prick can make the heart heal itself? A new study conducted at a British university has revealed that according to its findings, a jab to the heart can trick it into healing itself. This new revelation is a boon for coronary accident patients who could be administered this cure at the back of the ambulance. Scientists at Imperial College London trust that giving heart attack victims an injection of stem cells, will allow damaged hearts to mend themselves, saving lives and greatly cutting the odds of further ill health.
According to the scientists, they plan to use the patients own heart cells, an innovation which can minimise the rate of rejection by the body, further increasing the patients chances of survival. The British scientists are now all set to apply for permission to try this technique on patients. If the results of this phase of the trial are promising, this unique needle prick, could be made handy to paramedics, who could use this as an essential lifesaving technique.
