This patent covers the implantation of a stem cell source, or genes associated with stem cells and regeneration, together with a pace-maker type device, into a patient whose heart is in need of regeneration. The advantage of this patent is that numerous times the implanted cells do not beat in synchronism with the host cardiac cells, this patent tries to overcome this problem.
