A stem cell treatment given after heart attacks reduced heart failure and hospitalizations in a major trial.
A large phase 3 trial published in The BMJ finds that giving umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells within days of a heart attack significantly reduces the risk of heart failure and related hospitalizations.
Among 396 Iranian patients, those receiving stem cell infusions had lower rates of heart failure, hospital readmissions, and combined cardiovascular events over 33 months, with improved heart function at six months.
No significant differences were seen in overall or cardiovascular death rates.
The therapy showed promise in preventing heart failure progression, though results may not apply to older adults or women due to study limitations.
Researchers call for larger trials to confirm findings and understand the mechanism.
