New breakthrough in rehabilitating paralyzed heart muscle after a heart attack.

According to the Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Sydney, cardiovascular experts from Australia and the United States have just published in the journal Nature that they have discovered a method to restore heart muscle that has been paralyzed after a heart attack.

This success opens up prospects for effective treatment of patients with end-stage heart failure.

For the first time in the world, scientists have discovered a way to use embryonic stem cells to treat heart disease in mammals.

Dr. James Chong of the University of Sydney, who led the research, said the developed tissue is synchronized with the host heart, receiving blood and nutrients in the same way as the original tissue. This allows the tissue to live longer.

The research has been successfully tested on rodents and then on monkeys, and is expected to be tested on humans in a few years.

Experts consider this research very important because, like the brain, the heart cannot regenerate itself.

Currently, the choices for heart failure patients are usually transplantation or medication to slow the progression of heart function decline.

According to Australian government statistics, heart disease claims the lives of more than 20,000 people in the country each year.
