A recent CTV News London article contained good news for those living with weakened hearts. A team of researchers at Western University has developed a patch small enough to pass through a needle or catheter to the sight of a heart issue. The concept was successfully tested in a short-term study with pigs that resulted in improved heart function and blood flow. A longer six-month study followed and concluded that none of the animals experienced toxicity issues from the patch.
