quote[Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) due to myocardial infarction (MI, or heart attack) often have scar tissue in the heart, which limits the heart's ability to pump blood. In spite of cutting-edge medical therapy and other current heart failure treatments, two million patients in the United States are admitted to the hospital for CHF each year and almost half a million die annually. Doctors may now have the opportunity to successfully replace scarred heart tissue with healthy muscle via intracardiac injections of autologous skeletal myoblasts (ASM), stem cells from the skeletal muscle.]
