Patch May Boost Repair After Heart Attack, Stanford University Study
A prototype patch could help the repair the damage caused by a heart attack, scientists say.
The early work, carried out on mice and pigs, reveals the protein-infused patch encourages the growth of healthy cells and leads to less scarring.
Scarring can be common after a heart attack, making the heart pump less effectively and sometimes fail.
