Heart Cells Foundation was set up by Jenifer and Ian Rosenberg. In 2003 Ian was given just 2 months to live. Sadly, Ian died on 25th August 2006, aged 70.

UK charity celebrating 20 years of funding stem cell research, and in 2016, the launch of the 'Compassionate Treatment Unit for Heart Failure', at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London. 🇬🇧❤️ It was then that he heard about cardiac stem cell therapy and travelled to Germany to receive treatment. On his return, Ian Rosenberg’s quality of life was improved and he was shocked to find no patient trials of the procedure in the UK. He then decided to set up the Heart Cells Foundation, alongside Jenifer, to raise money to fund ground-breaking cardiac stem cell trials at Barts and London NHS Trust. To this day Jenifer continues to campaign to make this treatment available to all on the NHS, for she is determined to make her late husband’s dream become a reality.

❤️ 14th October | Stem Cell Awareness Day

Today, we're shining a light on an area of medical research that holds exciting possibilities for the future of heart health.

Stem cells are remarkable because they can renew themselves and develop into specialised cells. Researchers are exploring how these unique abilities could one day help repair damaged heart tissue and improve treatment options for people living with heart disease.

At HeartCells Foundation, our mission is centred on giving hope to people living with heart failure by supporting access to innovative treatments and championing the potential of regenerative medicine.

While there is still much to learn, continued research into stem cells offers hope for new possibilities in cardiac care. To help continue this important work, please considering donating here: https://www.heartcellsfoundation.com/donate/

We were interested to read in The Sun about new research exploring how AI could help detect heart disease in just seconds.

An AI tool being trialled in the NHS can analyse a routine ECG and identify warning signs of heart failure and heart valve disease, with the potential to help doctors identify patients who may need further investigation sooner.

Early detection is an important part of improving cardiovascular care, and advances in technology like this could offer new ways to support earlier diagnosis. To read the full article, click here: https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/40227156/doctors-diagnose-heart-disease-seconds-ai-ecg-nhs-trial/

The HeartCells Foundation is deeply saddened by the passing of Dame Esther Rantzen, our first Ambassador and a longstanding, passionate supporter of our work.

Esther believed deeply in our mission to bring hope to people living with heart failure. Her support was also deeply personal, following the loss of her beloved husband, Desmond Wilcox, to heart disease.

Our thoughts are with Esther's family, friends and loved ones at this very sad time. Her legacy of kindness and service will live on in all those whose lives she touched. ❤️

We read an interesting article from Prevention that explores the potential connection between nighttime light exposure, sleep and heart health. ❤️🌙

The article looks at new research suggesting that greater exposure to light while we sleep may be associated with changes in heart structure and an increased risk of heart failure.

While the findings don’t prove that nighttime light directly causes heart problems, they offer an interesting insight into the relationship between our sleep environment and cardiovascular health.

It’s another reminder that looking after our hearts can extend to the everyday habits we might not always think about, even how we sleep. ❤️
