any heart cell research folks on here

Im in early stages of being screened for a new study research for getting healthy cells injected into my heart,had few heart attacks,afib,chf,numerouse stents,started at 36yo and seems every 6 yrs need more stents,took 17 yrs to get cholesterol in ck,stopped smokeing a yr now.     Anyway im at this stage and from all research online the cell injection sounds promising, complete procedure is just like getting stents except everythings going on inside the heart itself.   Donor cells from very healthy young adults then the cells are screened for everything to get the best,good part is i have a full cardiac army looking after me,testing every month,any probs caught early,no cost to me,its going on all over the country but only a limited number is selected for the proceedure,and its a blind study so 50 50 chance of getting the real deal for the study research cells.
