About Dr Sanjay Joshi (Viecell Institute, Cardiology, Heart Disease):
Cell therapy is an exciting frontier for patients suffering from heart disease, especially those who have experienced heart failure or myocardial infarctions. By utilizing stem cells, we can promote the regeneration of damaged heart tissue, potentially improving cardiac function. The therapy has shown promising results in reducing scar tissue and increasing blood ow, offering a novel approach to heart repair that was previously unimaginable.

Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death worldwide. The effects of acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and congestive heart failure present great challenges for doctors and researchers alike. Heart attacks cause damage to the heart muscle, making it less efficient at pumping blood throughout the circulatory system. The heart has minimal ability to regenerate, so the lost muscle is replaced by scar tissue. This leaves patients with reduced cardiac function, which often progresses to heart failure, where the heart cannot meet the body’s demand for blood flow.
