Mayo Clinic researchers Andre Terzic, M.D., Ph.D., and Satsuki Yamada, M.D., Ph.D., discuss a new study demonstrating a way to resynchronize cardiac motion following a heart attack using stem cells. Scientists implanted engineered stem cells, also known as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, into damaged regions of mouse hearts following a heart attack. This regenerative approach successfully targeted the origin of abnormal cardiac motion, preventing heart failure.
