There is good news for people with enlarged heart. As per a study conducted by researchers of the University Of Miami Miller School Of Medicine, stem cell inserted in the infected area of heart can cure many heart ailments.

Citing the positive results of stem cell therapy, the team claimed that all those people who have been struggling with the effects of enlarged hearts like frequent hospitalization, disability and even death can now access this therapy under medical supervision.

For the study, the team used a corkscrew-shaped catheter to insert stem cells on eight men of the age of 57 years, who were struggling with the effect of poor functioning heart.

However, there are two types of bone marrow stem cells, mononuclear or mesenchymal stem cells, which the team used for the study and the team claimed that both the stem cells proved to be great help for the study.

After monitoring the condition for a full year, the team observed that abnormal size of the heart was reduced by 15 to 20%. Moreover, the ugly scars decreased by about 18.8% and further, a significant improvement in the functioning of heart was observed.

The team claimed that most of the patients have reported positive results from the therapy and no potential side effects were observed in them.
