Stem Cell Therapy for Heart Attacks: A Patient’s Guide

 If you or someone close to you suffered a heart attack, then you are aware of the profound impact it can have on a person's life and emotional well-being. The medical term for it is myocardial infarction. an attack on the heart is when the flow of blood to a portion in the cardiac muscle gets reduced.

Heart attacks do not need to mean all there is to it. It could be the start of a process of taking care of yourself, and loving oneself. We at Plexus we believe that stem cell therapy for myocardial ischemia could be a beacon of hope and an avenue to improve health.

Understanding myocardial infarction

Myocardial Infarction (MI) is one of the most serious heart attack that is caused by a blockage of the coronary arteries that provide oxygen for the heart. Because of this blockage, the heart muscle doesn't receive adequate nutrition and oxygen, creating tissue damage. The result could be life-threatening, from impaired cardiac function to heart failure.

Typically an attack on the heart is detected by the following symptoms:

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)

It measures the heart's electrical activity.

Tests of blood

These are the cardiac enzymes that can be detected in the blood. These are released when the heart muscle has been damaged.

Coronary angiography

The test utilizes contrast dye and X-rays in order to detect coronary arteries.

The causes of myocardial ischemia

The main cause of heart attacks is the development from a blood clot in an artery for coronary circulation There are a variety of factors that which contribute to this:

Atherosclerosis

The accumulation of fat deposits (plaques) within the coronary arteries, which narrows the arteries or blocking them.

Spasm in the coronary artery

The coronary arteries result in a reduction in blood flow.

Embolism

Blood clots and other particles which move from other areas of the body, and hinder the coronary blood vessels.

Vasospasm

A sudden narrowing of the coronary artery due to constriction of the muscles.

Myocardial infarction symptoms

In order to seek medical attention and prompt intervention, it's important to recognize the signs of an attack on the heart. The symptoms of a heart attack can vary depending on the particular case. Studies have shown that women and elderly adults are susceptible to experiencing milder or unusual symptoms. The most frequent warning signs for a heart attack are:

Chest discomfort or pain

Sometimes described as a sensation of fullness, pressure, squeeze or a pain in the middle in the chest.

Pain radiating

The pain can extend into your arms (typically on the right arm) or the jaw, neck and even the stomach.

Breathlessness

It can be associated with other signs.

Excessive sweating

A cold sweat that isn't apparent root.

Nausea and vomiting

Risk factors associated with myocardial ischemia

Let's examine some of those commonly reported risk factors for the heart attack:

Age

The risk increases as you the advancing years.

Gender

In general, men are at greater risk. The risk increases for women following menopausal.

Predisposition to genetics

Heart disease in the family is an important risk aspect.

Tobacco use

Smoking cigarettes is a major risk cause.

Hypertension

This may stress the heart and arteries.

Cholesterol levels are high.

Higher amounts in LDL cholesterol (also called the "bad cholesterol") can cause atherosclerosis.

Obesity

Overweight can cause other risks.

Diabetes

If left uncontrolled or neglected, can harm nerves and blood vessels.

The treatment for myocardial infarction

The most important goal of any treatment following an attack on the heart is to restore blood circulation back to the injured heart muscle. The most common method used by doctors is the following methods:

Medicines

Antiplatelet drugs, blood thinners and pain reliers

Angioplasty and the placement of stents

Stents are put into arteries that are blocked to avoid further blockages.

Coronary bypass surgery

This process is intended to move the blood flow around blocked coronary blood vessels.

Changes in lifestyle

Sometimes, people get distracted, which is the most crucial phase of recovery following an attack on the heart. Patients should keep a healthy weight eating a nutritious diet and incorporating regular exercise. In addition, they need to cut down on alcohol consumption and get enough sleep. In addition, if they're smokers, they must stop smoking!

Stem cell therapy to treat heart attacks The revolution in heart attack treatment!

In Plexus Bangalore as well as Hyderabad We use mesenchymal cells (MSCs) in the treatment of myocardial infarction. They could be a game changer in the field of cardiac care they have the ability to create the damaged tissue.

The treatment of stem cells to treat myocardial infarction Plexus is the process of transferring MSCs into the damaged region in the heart. The injected cells are able to transform into different types of heart cells and thus aid in tissue repair. They also have the capacity to eliminate plaque in arteries and improve the circulatory and cardiac function.

Can stem cell therapy aid in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction?

Yes! So long as there's immediate intervention and stem cell therapy is used to treat acute myocardial infarction could save injured heart tissues and avoid any further damage.

It is essential to start treatment early to lower the chance of heart disease and enhance the quality of life.

If you or a loved ones have suffered from an attack on the heart, this is the perfect time to rejuvenate and improve the health of your heart. A better heart function, less signs, as well as a greater quality of life after treatment is what your doctor wants!
