NEW DELHI: Patients with weak heart function who receive stem cell therapy shortly after a heart attack are less likely to suffer heart failure, according to a study.
Heart failure can occur after a heart attack when the heart muscle is extensively damaged, weakening its ability to pump blood effectively.
This can be a sudden complication (acute heart failure) or a long-term one. Symptoms include trouble breathing, fatigue, swelling in the legs, and an irregular heartbeat.
