Heart Failure and other Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiopathy refers to any and all conditions of the heart. Degeneration of cardiac tissues is considered a major cause of mortality in the western world and is expected to be a greater problem in the forthcoming decades. Cardiac damage is associated with dysfunction and irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes. Stem cell therapy for ischemic heart failure is very promising approach in cardiovascular medicine. Initial trials have indicated the ability of cardiomyocytes to regenerate after myocardial injury. (1) Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for more deaths globally than any other single disease. There are on average 1.5 million episodes of myocardial infarction (heart attack) each year in the United States alone with roughly one-third resulting in death. There is therefore a major need for developing new and effective strategies to promote cardiac repair. Cardiovascular disease is a broad term for problems with the heart and blood vessels. This condition occurs when fat and cholesterol build up on the walls of the blood vessel (artery). This buildup is called plaque. Over time, the plaque can narrow the blood vessels and cause problems throughout the body. If an artery becomes blocked, this can lead to a heart attack or stroke. (2)
The most common type of cardiovascular diseases are:
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Heart Failure
- Heart attack
- High Blood Pressure
- Arrhythmia
- Stroke
Stem cell therapy for heart failure ensuring regenerative proficiency
The use of mesenchymal stem cells has shown to improve the cardiac structure and function, functional capacity and the patient's quality of life, thanks to the properties that stem cells have to reduce fibrosis in the heart. Stem cell therapy has demonstrated to benefit the heart by stimulating the natural regenerative response of the body.

Administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to diseased hearts improves cardiac function and reduces scar size. These effects occur via the stimulation of endogenous repair mechanisms, including regulation of immune responses, tissue perfusion, inhibition of fibrosis, and proliferation of resident cardiac cells. (4)
The last two decades have witnessed the development of novel regenerative medicine approaches for cardiovascular diseases. However, the ultimate goal of complete repair of the heart in response to damage has yet to be realized.
How much does stem cell therapy cost?
The cost of Stem Cell Therapy needs to be determined by our expert medical team, as prices depend on the specific condition and personalized medical recommendations. Our dedicated team of medical professionals carefully evaluates each patient's unique health situation to recommend the most effective therapy. Stem Cell Therapy includes the following:
- Laboratory protocol by Dr. Anand (activation of the stem cells to direct them towards the affected tissue or organ)
- 1 - 3 stem cell vials (35 - 105 million stem cells)
- 1 - 10 billion exosomes (volume depends on the doctor's personal evaluation of each patient)
- Oxygen Therapy
- Body preparation
- Medical Consultation
- Dietitian Follow-up post-therapy
- Transportation hotel-clinic in local shuttle
- Lodging (available in our Clinic in Algodones) at Hotel Hacienda or Hotel Cielito Lindo
- Preferential prices for future reinforcements/applications

Stem Cell Therapy Financing
Through United Medical Credit, our patients (exclusive for US citizens) may now receive up to $25,000.00 USD in credit for their treatment (note: price for therapy varies depending on the condition to be treated and a number of stem cells [vials] included).
Giostar Stem Cell Therapy
Being part of the last three decades of innovative discoveries in the research-based area of regenerative medicine, Stem Cell Therapy promotes the reduction and stoppage of degenerative diseases or conditions, such as ALS, physical injuries and aging, bolstering the regeneration of damaged tissues, bodily processes and overall well-being.
Giostar Mexico specializes in medical tourism, receiving patients from all over the world. With the acquired understanding based on scientific research, we are able to provide personalized protocols to each patient. Through specialized allogenic mesenchymal adult stem cells, our regenerative therapy concentrates stem cells in the targeted area, organ or immune system, helping the body stop the progression of a disease or condition and begin regeneration.
Why choose Giostar?
Thanks to a progressive legal framework in Mexico, Giostar can provide personalized therapy with intravenous and local applications otherwise legally unavailable in the United States and Canada. As everyone is unique, we develop personalized protocols for each patient. Although patients may share the same condition, we understand that similar symptoms does not necessarily mean same solution or treatment for everyone. Genetics, lifestyle and other circumstances can affect differently how patients respond to therapy.
It’s of utmost importance that you answer our health history form, this will determine two major factors:
- Your eligibility for therapy
- Your personalized protocol is developed according to your needs.
Stem cell therapy is a procedure in the regenerative medicine field. Regenerative medicine's ultimate goal is that our body regenerates itself. What stem cell therapy does in your body is slow down or stop the suffered deterioration and it can even regenerate damaged tissue and organs. That is why we ask our patients to fill out a , so our medical staff may first identify if stem cell therapy is actually an option for them, as well as allowing our medical team to understand each patient's specific health conditions.
Fill out this contact form and we will give you a call or email you as soon as possible. You can also contact us directly to our US landline 619-866-6000.
