Is This The End Of Heart Transplants?

The medical world is evolving in leaps and bounds, and a new innovation may have just made traditional heart transplants obsolete.

A new technique pioneered at the The British Heart Foundation uses an injection to help recover an ailing heart, as opposed to requiring any actual surgery.

The trial involves researchers introducing a gene, created in a laboratory, into heart failure patients to boost the production of a key protein, which they believe will allow the muscle to recover.

“This study will help us better understand whether the concept of repairing a heart with gene therapy might be possible, even in patients with advanced heart failure,” said Dr Nick Banner, the consultant cardiologist at Harefield Hospital in north London.
