> "In the United States, it's the most common reason that patients are admitted to the hospital."

Correction:  According to the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s [2017 statistical brief](https://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/statbriefs/sb225-Inpatient-US-Stays-Trends.pdf), congestive heart failure (#5), cardiac dysrhythmias (#8), and acute myocardial infarction (#10) were among the top 10 most common reasons people were admitted to US hospitals in 2014.

Il cuore è uno degli organi del corpo umano con la minore capacità di rigenerarsi, un fattore importante che rende l'infarto la principale causa di morte in tutto il mondo. E se potessimo aiutare il muscolo cardiaco a rigenerarsi dopo una lesione? Il medico e scienziato Chuck Murry condivide le sue ricerche rivoluzionarie sull'uso delle cellule staminali per la coltura di nuove cellule cardiache: un incredibile passo avanti verso l'impiego delle cellule staminali come medicine.

Possiamo rigenerare il muscolo cardiaco con le cellule staminali?

Heart disease is the world's leading killer, claiming millions of lives each year and costing over $100 billion annually in the United States alone. The human heart cannot naturally regenerate after a heart attack, leaving patients with lasting damage and declining function. New research shows that pluripotent stem cells can be transformed into heart muscle and transplanted to repair the injured heart. This advance could move heart regeneration from science fiction to everyday medicine, offering hope to millions.
