Mechanisms of Arrhythmia after Cardiac Stem Cell Therapy

Explore the complex mechanisms behind arrhythmias following cardiac stem cell therapy in this 55-minute lecture presented by Dr. Andrew Wescott, a second-year fellow at the University of Washington's Cardiology Department. Delve into the latest research and clinical findings that shed light on the potential risks and complications associated with stem cell-based treatments for heart conditions. Gain valuable insights into the intricate interplay between transplanted stem cells and native cardiac tissue, and understand how these interactions can lead to abnormal heart rhythms. Examine the current strategies for mitigating arrhythmia risks in stem cell therapy and discuss future directions for improving the safety and efficacy of this promising therapeutic approach.
