This success opens up the prospect of effective treatment for patients with end-stage heart failure.

For the first time in the world, scientists have discovered how to use embryonic stem cells to treat mammalian heart disease.

Dr. James Chong of the University of Sydney, who is in charge of the study, said the developed tissue has synchronization with the host heart, receiving blood and nutrients in the same way as the original tissue. That makes the tissue live longer.

The study was successfully tested in rodents and then monkeys and is expected to be tested in humans in a few years.

Experts evaluate this study very important because like the brain, the heart cannot recover itself.

Currently, the choice of heart failure patients is usually a transplant or medication to slow the progression of heart failure.

According to Australian government statistics, heart disease has claimed the lives of more than 20,000 people each year.
