This procedure works very well. I heard about this months ago. The injection heals the heart very fast. A person goes from hardly able to get out of bed and require help walking to walking normally in just three weeks. The heart seems to totally heal within a couple of months. When I heard about this on Radio they were going into the last double blind study with the accepting into the program the ones that did not get the real injection thereby letting all participants get the treatment.

This is great news.

  While promising, it is quite an exaggeration to say that "the procedure works very well". The one positive trial to date (the FIRSTLINE-AMI study) has not been replicated in subsequent trials (the REVEALII and STEMMI trials).
  
  The idea is an active area of investigation, but it is still in the early experimental stages.
