Human fat from liposuction contains many stem cells. Doctors liposuctioned heart patients and isolated 20 millions stem cells from the fat. They injected these stem cells back through a heart catheter within 10 minutes. Six months later the blood flow in treated hearts was 3,5 fold better and pumping ability was 5,7% better than in patients without this treatment. These results were presented on the American Heart Association Scientific Session 2010. Comments for these effects released Dr. Douglas Losordo from Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago and Dr. Erick Duckers from Erasmus University Rotterdam.
