Many scientists hope that stem cell research will have benefits for heart valve problems.However, at the current state of play it’s more likely that they’ll be used to grow more durable replacement valves in the lab, rather than using stem cells to repair our own damaged or abnormal valves.So, surgical valve replacement is likely to be here for some time. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bhfblog/~3/7mdv4aoJspc/my-teenager-will-need-another-aortic.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (British Heart Foundation)0http://britishheartfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-teenager-will-need-another-aortic.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430131042700803800.post-4976042982021173900Thu, 24 Feb 2011 17:57:00 +00002011-02-24T17:59:07.070ZHello, thanks for your question.The woman in our advertising is an actress, but the story she’s depicting is very real. It’s based on a lady called Joanne Ward. You can read her real story on our website.Joanne helped us develop the adverts and we’re incredibly grateful to her for giving her time and sharing her story to help us launch the Appeal.Joanne is a Facebook fan of the BHF, so if she http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bhfblog/~3/2wgDVHMnRdQ/is-woman-in-your-advert-real-person-who.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (British Heart Foundation)0http://britishheartfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/is-woman-in-your-advert-real-person-who.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430131042700803800.post-1676480903622760359Thu, 24 Feb 2011 17:53:00 +00002011-02-24T17:54:53.914ZHi Bruce, thanks for your question.There are centres in Scotland – including Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and Edinburgh - that are very active in heart failure research.If you have heart failure yourself, your cardiologist is best placed to advise you about any trials that you might be eligible for now or in the future.Hope that helps, best wishes and thanks for taking part in our live chat. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bhfblog/~3/Dy_UbfYhvX4/bruce-asks-us-whether-we-will-be.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (British Heart Foundation)0http://britishheartfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/bruce-asks-us-whether-we-will-be.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430131042700803800.post-8465542945309393346Thu, 24 Feb 2011 17:48:00 +00002011-02-24T17:49:50.876ZHi Darren, thanks for your question.At this stage it’s not clear if regenerative medicine research funded by the Appeal will have direct benefits for people with dilated cardiomyopathy. But it’s really too early to know for sure.However, we’re well aware of the importance of the condition. The Appeal is funding research over and above our current research spend, so please be assured that we will http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bhfblog/~3/aAtvoK1VmLY/darren-asks-us-whether-our-mending.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (British Heart Foundation)0http://britishheartfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/darren-asks-us-whether-our-mending.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430131042700803800.post-4762361045233289552Thu, 24 Feb 2011 17:35:00 +00002011-02-24T17:36:55.652ZHi Sheila, thank you for your question and for taking part in our live chatAll of the money we raise in the Mending Broken Hearts Appeal will be ringfenced for regenerative medicine research.It’s a 10 year research programme.

This technique is already been done with rat hearts and this line of investigation is being pursued in some labs around the world.Other scientists are looking at ways of creating ‘patches’ of human heart that could be used to replace a portion of damaged heart using this approach.Thanks again for your http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bhfblog/~3/ucDTH_7WxHg/russ-asks-us-about-technology-that.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (British Heart Foundation)0http://britishheartfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/russ-asks-us-about-technology-that.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430131042700803800.post-4278450119031463118Thu, 24 Feb 2011 17:03:00 +00002011-02-24T17:05:42.158ZDear Angela,Sorry to hear you’re feeling unwell.If you are concerned about any changes to your health, you should talk your doctor.

Thanks Jayne for your supportive comments. Good question about the zebrafish! But actually it’s not just fish that can do this – other vertebrates such as some frogs and axolotls can do the trick too. In fact axolotls can even regenerate entire limbs. What we need to find out is why humans can’t http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bhfblog/~3/kTDRd9J6FCQ/jayne-asks-how-we-discovered-that.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (British Heart Foundation)0http://britishheartfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/jayne-asks-how-we-discovered-that.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430131042700803800.post-6491131325508251733Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:34:00 +00002011-02-24T16:36:25.531ZHi Chris,Thanks for your question.The BHF – and the Mending Broken Hearts Appeal - relies wholly on public support. But we have always worked closely with Government funded research organisations like the Medical Research Council (MRC) to ensure the best use of resources. The MRC have also made regenerative medicine a priority.We’ve already jointly funded (with the MRC) three groups around the UKhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bhfblog/~3/M7h5fZsyFok/chris-asks-if-government-are-funding.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (British Heart Foundation)0http://britishheartfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/chris-asks-if-government-are-funding.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430131042700803800.post-2672740863105822664Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:05:00 +00002011-02-24T16:07:49.453ZHello Gillian, thanks for your question.The nature of research is that it tends to be a steady process. It’s rarely the ‘big bang’ breakthroughs that headlines report, more a stepwise process with each research project adding another small piece to the jigsaw.However, a decade ago we couldn’t have predicted how far we’d have come already, so we can’t predict what discoveries our scientists will http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bhfblog/~3/Dx1S8OqXwRQ/gillian-asks-how-long-will-it-take-for.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (British Heart Foundation)0http://britishheartfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/gillian-asks-how-long-will-it-take-for.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430131042700803800.post-2578766859209351596Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:00:00 +00002011-02-24T16:05:44.521ZOur "live" chat with Medical Director Professor Peter Weissberg on Mending Broken Hearts Appeal has now started!So send in your questions and keey an eye on our blog for our answershttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bhfblog/~3/2_42dvAIyXA/live-chat-on-mending-broken-hearts-has.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (British Heart Foundation)0http://britishheartfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/live-chat-on-mending-broken-hearts-has.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430131042700803800.post-8915972633921429507Mon, 21 Feb 2011 16:40:00 +00002011-02-24T10:27:13.367Zmending broken heartsMBHLive chatBHF LiveJoin our live chat online with the BHF Medical Director Professor Peter Weissberg on Thursday 24th of February between 4pm and 6pm.

How long they last will vary from person to person, but on average 8 out of 10 tissue valves are working after 12-15 years. If this type of valve is put in a younger person who is very active, it may wear out quicker than this.

Many people with pulmonary stenosis will be advised not to go on roller-coasters and similar rides. Because the advice will be different from person to person, the best thing is to ask your daughters’ doctor if it’s OK for her to go on them.
