Public awareness of the dangers of heart disease has never been more pervasive. Now, though, ten years into a new millennium, scientists are gearing up for the next great challenges in tackling this pervasive condition. Cell therapy is going to be a key weapon in the fight against heart disease. It has the potential to address many cardiovascular conditions. From heart failure to atrioventricular nodal dysfunction, the young but promising field of cell therapy is set to play a significant role in developing the cures that the upcoming decades of hard work will yield.\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRegenerating\nthe Heart: Stem Cells and the Cardiovascular System \u003c\/i\u003eorganizes the field\ninto a digestible body of knowledge.
