Two pieces :
(1) Opening a New Path for Cardiac Stem Cells
(2) When Heart-Device Patients need MRI

#2 is a concern for those of us that need knee or hip replacement and would need an MRI to have the Personal fit knee made. The company makes the knee by the MRI, then maps the MRI so that the surgeon does not cut tendons/ligaments. Healing is much faster with less pain.
