Abstract
A method of treating a patient's heart comprises the steps of identifying an ischemic area of the heart. A plurality of cells are provided and the cells are irradiated in vitro with electromagnetic radiation. The irradiated cells are then implanted into the ischemic area of the heart. The electromagnetic radiation provides biostimulation of the cells. The treated cells are cardio myocetes such as from embrionic heart muscle or skeletal muscle cells. The electromagnetic radiation is in the infrared (IR) range, visible light range, or ultraviolet (UV) range.
