Great news for the heart patients of the world. A team of Israeli scientists have worked on a miracle gel made out of the ordinary seaweed that could help save lives suffering from heart attacks. Led by Smedar Cohen, this team claims to have discovered an amazing gel which can strengthen the scar tissues of the heart when it is injected in the heart through the groin vein in liquid form. Upon contact with the scar tissue, the liquid condenses into a thick gel leading the otherwise thin tissues to be thick.

Now these thick tissues heal gradually and even function as normal tissue, thereby reducing the chances of further heart attack. Usually, heart patients suffer from weak heart tissues and an enlarged left ventricle. That is why it has to work harder for pumping blood around the body thereby multiplying the chances of further heart attacks. Tests have been conducted on animals with amazing results. 90 per cent of animals injected with the gel survived a heart attack compared to just 40 per cent who received no treatment at all. The trial on human has been initiated in Germany, Belgium and Israel, as per sources.

At present, there is no treatment of healing the scar tissues of heart. British Doctors claim that if the miracle gel can enter the market commercially by 2011, it can save as much as 20,000 lives every year.
