Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy refers to a weakening of the heart muscle or a change in heart muscle structure which typically results in inadequate heart pumping or other heart function problems. The most common form is dilated cardiomyopathy which involves an enlargement of the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle). When this happens the heart can't adequately pump blood to the body. This can and does lead to heart failure and death.

While there is no cure for cardiomyopathy, though there is evidence indicating that stem cells from a patient's own bone marrow or blood produces significant improvements in function. One example: In Thailand, cardiomyopathy patients who had "Angiogenic Cell Precursors (ACPs)" derived from their own blood injected into their heart muscle experienced impressive benefits.

The use of pure blood and bone marrow derived stem cells for cardiomyopathy remains experimental and confined to clinical studies in the US. However, doctors can do whole bone marrow transplants in which stem cell rich bone marrow tissue is harvested and given back by IV drip. Dr. David Steenblock has done over 1000 such whole bone marrow transplants to-date for a wide variety of health challenges including various cardiovascular conditions with often noteworthy results. In addition, he has figured out how to employ various FDA approved stem cell activating and mobilizing drugs in such a way as to greatly increase the number and vitality of older patient's bone marrow stem cells. This is discussed in this issue of his clinic's newsletter (This issue also contains information on specific FDA approved treatments that have been shown to produce impressive benefits in a variety of cardiovascular conditions. One example is external counterpulsation, which many doctors refer to as a "natural nonsurgical bypass.")
