They've done experimental treatments with stem cells to repair heart damage for a few years now. From what I saw on a TV program that discussed it, it was quite painful, as they had to stop the heart while it was flushed with stem cells. Essentially the guy was put into cardiac arrest a few times so the stem cllls could lodge in the damaged areas. He was concious during the procedure. The procedure seemed to have been sucessful as he went from about 30 % capacity back up to 90%
I can imagine a bunch of men wanting to get that treatement to get back up to 90%...
...and I'm not talking about the heart.
