Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Anyone, including children, can develop heart disease, and, roughly 655,000 Americans die from it each year — that’s one in every four deaths.

Cardiovascular diseases can cause irreversible damage to the heart muscle’s cells that can ultimately result in total heart failure. But what if there were a way to restore damaged muscle tissue. That’s where the pioneering work in stem cell research and therapeutics comes in.

Join us online when the Wisconsin Medicine Livestream delves into the exciting potential for stem cells to repair and even regenerate damaged heart tissue. You’ll hear from medical professionals from UW Health and the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health who are at the forefront of these stem cell innovations.
