Are fat cells important for repairing heart muscle after a heart attack?University of Oxford | Dr Mathilda Mommersteeg
During a heart attack, blood vessels supplying the heart muscle become blocked, starving the heart of oxygen. The affected heart muscle tissue dies, and the damaged tissue is replaced by scar tissue that doesn’t function like healthy heart ...
