Stem Cell Therapy in Cardiovascular Diseases
As an advanced treatment method, cardiac stem cells therapy has shown it can improve cardiac function by increasing myocardial capillary density, regenerating cardiomyocytes, reducing apoptosis, alleviating fibrosis during the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and have significant improvement in cardiac function after treatment.
The Beneficial Effects Of Stem Cell Therapy On Cardiovascular Diseases
Stem cell transplantation can regenerate the myocardium and improve cardiac function and is an ideal choice for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, ischemia-reperfusion injury of the heart, and other cardiovascular diseases. At SQ1 medical center, we provide you with a customized stem cell therapy plan, after the treatment course and cooperating with the doctor’s diet plan and lifestyle advice, 83% of the patients reported significant treatment effects, and the related symptoms are greatly improved.
Stem Cell Regeneration therapy at SQ1 helps:
Reduce fibrosis
Repair damaged myocardial tissue
Improve cardiac function
Promote angiogenesis
Increased cardiac ejection function score
Normalization of heart rhythm
Alleviate heart failure symptoms (edema, dyspnea, tachycardia)
Improve limb function
Reduce muscle atrophy
Reduce or eliminate inflammation
Cardiovascular Diseases That Stem Cell Therapy Can Treat
Ischemic heart disease (coronary heart disease/myocardial infarction)
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Ischemic stroke
Arrhythmia
Hypertension
Heart failure
Valvular heart disease
Congenital heart disease
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Cardiomyopathy
Aortic disease
Pulmonary embolism
Deep vein thrombosis
On November 13-15,2021, the 2021 American Heart Association Annual Conference was held online, and reported the latest results of the clinical result of the largest stem cell therapy for heart failure (DREAM-HF trial): stem cell therapy can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death in patients with chronic, high-risk, reduced ejection fraction heart failure (HFrEF), especially those with higher levels of inflammation.
Risk Factors For Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases can be roughly divided into two categories: congenital and acquired diseases. Congenital factors include family inheritance or self-gene mutation, acquired factors are unhealthy lifestyle, other related diseases, and adverse drug reactions. The onset of the disease is often affected by a combination of factors.
Factor Factor Description
Family inheritance Family disease history: such as family members with chronic cardiovascular disease, especially early-onset patients at age <50 years.
Hereditary syndromes, those syndromes might affect the heart or blood vessels, causing corresponding cardiovascular diseases.
Congenital heart defect Congenital structural or functional defects of the heart
Congenital vascular structural defects. these defects could lead to local vascular stenosis.
Autoimmune disease: Malfunction of the immune system, which will attach and damage own tissues and organs.
Diseases or drug factors Infection by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and scarring and inflammation of cardiovascular tissue caused by infection
Malignant tumors and the side effects from radiotherapy and chemotherapy against the tumor.
Various chronic liver and kidney diseases
Long-term heavy mental stress
Long-term use of prescription/over-the-counter medications, such as birth control pills or corticosteroids
Long-term use of certain dietary supplements or Chinese herbal medicine that may interfere with heart or vascular functions
Unhealthy living habits Lack of physical activity
High-fat, high-sugar, high-salt diet
Chronic alcoholism
Injecting or intaking drugs
Overweight (or obese)
Clinical Symptoms Of Cardiovascular Diseases
Symptoms of cardiovascular diseases depend on the specific type of disease; it varies from type to type.
Disease Common Symptoms
Cardiovascular diseases Chest pain, tightness, pressure, and burning sensation spreading pain from the chest area
Insufficient blood and oxygen supply manifested as shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, sweating, paleness, blue lips, and cold limbs.
The cardiac disease may also cause discomfort in other areas, such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and swelling of the abdomen or extremities. Patients with severe symptoms may experience syncope and even shock.
Peripheral vascular diseases The most common location of illness is in the legs for atherosclerosis or deep vein thrombosis. Pain, numbness, and weakness may occur in the affected area, and exercise may worsen the symptoms.
When the condition worsens, other symptoms like edema, ulcers, and spasms may occur and may lead to disability if not treated in time.
The deep vein thrombosis may fall off and enters the lung, it can cause pulmonary embolism manifested as chest and back pain, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, dry cough (with hemoptysis or bloody sputum), dizziness, restlessness, confusion, or even coma.
Cerebrovascular disease Patients with stroke may show different degrees of central nervous system dysfunction, such as headache, dizziness, blurred vision, and loss of language ability
Weakness or numbness in the limbs, inability to walk or move, as well as balance problems.
