Cardiovascular disease, often referred to as “heart disease”, describes a broad range of conditions that affects both the heart and the blood vessels. Heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women worldwide. Every thirty-three seconds in the United States, a person dies from cardiovascular disease.
Conditions typically involve the narrowing or blockage of arteries that bring blood to the heart (coronary arteries), brain (carotid arteries), or the lower limbs (femoral arteries) which can lead to heart attacks, chest pain, angina, stroke or peripheral arterial disease.
Other conditions such as infections, non-controlled high blood pressure or longstanding use of certain medications and drugs can impair the ability of the heart to pump correctly, resulting in congestive heart failure.
Physicians and scientists recognize that myocardial regeneration is possible and attainable. Endothelial progenitors cells (EPCs), show great promise and there is accumulating evidence that these cells can play an important role in vascular repair. These progenitor cells can be mobilized into the peripheral blood through the injections of specific growth factor. (The same cells are also present in the umbilical cord blood.)
Cellulogix offers stem cell treatment for cardiovascular diseases with the collection of peripheral blood stem cells through aphaeresis. The final procedure is non-invasive and consist of an intravenous infusion of precursors of cardiovascular stem cells.
Cell therapy is combined with a holistic comprehensive approach. The entire treatment takes five days to complete and includes lifestyle and diet recommendations, personalized natural supplements, prescriptions for atherosclerosis reduction, and cardiovascular protection.
Post stem cell treatment, patients are asked to submit laboratory tests and studies for cardiac function follow up.
