My question is: how soon will stem cell researchers find a way to grow new heart muscle and the blood vessels to feed them? Several years ago a cardiac surgeon butchered me, blocked blood flow to two parts of my left ventricle and robbed me of an active life. I would like to return to a normal existence.
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Blocked renal arteries can be due to elevated blood pressure. This needs adequate timely investigative protocol. Curative stenosis can be due to Inuit stenting procedures. I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography, ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart. Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day. Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful. Chat Doctor. Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food. One pomegranate a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation. Stem cell procedures are still under research. Stent in situ will be curative in your case. Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management. Post your further queries if any. Thank you.
