Brothers in heart failure rejoin the active world

American brothers have made adult stem cell therapy a family affair by both having the same procedure to treat their advanced heart failure.
Twelve months later the first brother is back at work, playing golf and doing whatever he wants to do. Clinically he is much better and his heart is pumping far more efficiently.
The second brother has just recently been treated and is looking forward to picking up his life after years of illness.
Both of them had been through the usual mill of pacemakers, stents, bypasses and more and more drugs. Their life was dominated by their illness and to walk around the block became impossible.
They found the standard of care in the hospital in Bangkok absolutely fabulous and cannot speak highly enough of their cardiologist (who, incidentally, was a Co-founder of a prestigious clinic in Minnesota).
People like these will make their stories known and impress on other heart patients the fact that help is available right now.
