The Problem

So far, heart failure in chronic heart disease (cardiomyopathy) or after myocardial infarction is not satisfactorily treatable and leads to fatal heart failure with decreasing pumping

How it works

With CardAPcells, the pumping power of a weakened heart muscle can be recovered, so that heart failure or heart transplantation can be avoided.

Our innovative cell therapy development focuses specifically on strengthening the heart muscle and the natural healing process in the heart

About us

We use novel specialised cells from the patient´s heart biopsies to treat severe heart muscle weakness in a natural way and to improve the patient's quality of life
