New Heart Treatment Research
Regeneration of Heart Tissue with Innovative Treatment Method
A new study has revealed that mild shock waves applied after bypass surgery can regenerate patients’ heart tissue. In the study conducted in Austria, this treatment method, which was tried on 63 patients, enabled heart patients to walk longer distances and their hearts to pump blood more effectively.
Heart Diseases and Risk Factors
According to World Health Organization data, 18 million people worldwide die every year due to heart diseases or other cardiovascular complications. Risk factors such as high blood pressure, unhealthy diet, tobacco and alcohol use are effective in the emergence of heart diseases. Today, heart diseases are the primary cause of death worldwide and their treatment is not yet fully possible.
Bypass Surgery and Innovative Treatment Application
Bypass surgery is a frequently preferred surgical intervention in heart patients and aims to increase the functionality of the heart. The innovative treatment method aims to improve the quality of life of patients by renewing the heart tissue after surgery. This method allows gentle sound waves to regenerate damaged tissue.
The “shock wave” technique is used in the treatment of various health problems and also gives positive results in heart patients. Research results show that patients treated with sound waves have better heart function and fewer symptoms.
As a result of the studies, the new treatment method is planned to be available to patients in 2025. This innovative method aims to create a new hope against heart diseases by increasing the life expectancy of heart patients.

| It has been determined that patients who receive shock wave therapy can walk farther without resting and live a better quality of life. |
| It has been observed that the amount of clean blood pumped from the heart increases. |
| It was determined that the rehospitalization rate of patients decreased with the treatment provided. |
