Can Stem Cell Therapy Regenerate The Damaged Heart?
hi, I am a medical student here in the philippines and my group is conducting a research about stem cell therapy and cardiac arrest. My group would like to know if how do we induce a heart attack to an organism but not killing it? We will like to find out of the stem cell therapy can regenerate the damaged heart. Than you.

Dear Sir
Thanks for your query.
A complete manual occlusion of exposed vessel by a string will produce desired result i.e. artificial induction of myocardial infarction in an animal. It may also be induced by injecting absolute alcohol in the relevant blood vessel. However, it needs cannulation of the vessel.
Please make sure that these methods are approved by ethical committee of your institute and law of your country.
Sincerely
