DAVID RANDLE: A DEATH SENTENCE REVERSED BY STEM CELL GENETICS

<p>David Randle had a heart attack and was told he was too ill for a transplant. He was told that his days were numbered.&nbsp;The heart attack was a severe blow to his health, in fact, he had to stop working because of it. Generally, a heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked. The blockage is most often a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). The plaque eventually breaks away and forms a clot. The interrupted blood flow can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle.</p> <p>David Randle was diagnosed with Ischemic cardiomyopathy. His heart muscle was damaged as a result of a narrowing of the arteries to his heart muscle, and the lower left chamber of his heart wasn&rsquo;t functioning well.<br /> Ischemic cardiomyopathy is the most common type of&nbsp;dilated cardiomyopathy. In Ischemic cardiomyopathy, the heart&rsquo;s ability to pump blood is decreased because the&nbsp;heart&rsquo;s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, is enlarged, dilated and weak. This is caused by ischemia - a lack of blood supply to the heart muscle.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@giftdee02/david-randle-a-death-sentence-reversed-by-stem-cell-genetics-6c2468aad17a"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
