The Shot That Heals Following a Heart Attack

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DW4joMAlrUw/Cardiologists at Texas A&M are developing a one-shot therapy that could help your heart recover during the weeks following a heart attack.The treatment uses self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), a technology similar to that used in some modern vaccines. After a simple injection into your arm muscle, your cells temporarily receive instructions to produce more of a natural heart-protective hormone called ANP.Here’s why that helps:• ANP helps reduce stress on the heart.• It limits tissue damage and scarring.• It supports healing during the critical recovery window.Because the RNA instruction molecule copies itself, one injection keeps the ANP hormone circulating for several weeks, helping your heart repair itself during the most vulnerable and dangerous period.Preclinical research shows self-amplifying RNA improves heart healing and protects vulnerable heart muscle after a heart attack. Critical human trials are still ahead. If they confirm these results, doctors could one day give one shot to help your heart recover more effectively following a heart attack.References On My Website. #HeartHealth #HeartAttackRecovery #MedicalBreakthrough #RNAtherapy #CardiologyResearch
