Scientist are pretty excited over a new discovery made to help speed up the recovery process after a heart attack.
The discovery shows that certain scar tissue in the heart can turn into blood vessels that directly help in the healing of an injured heart. With this new information, scientist jumped on board to develop a new drug. This drug will help those who have experienced a heart attack, and are in the healing process.
Author of the research published online in Nature, Dr. Arjun Deb says, “It is well known that increasing the number of blood vessels in the injured heart following a heart attack improves its ability to heal.”
