"With our aging population, the incidence of Heart Failure is increasing and there is an inadequate supply of donor hearts available for transplant. At Vanderbilt, we are one of 5 NIH funded centers participating in the Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Network which potentially provides new options for many patients."
