this study suggests that administered post heart attack, there are significant improvements to heart health:

A significant bottleneck in cardiovascular regenerative medicine is the identification of a viable source of stem/progenitor cells that could contribute new muscle after ischaemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction1. A therapeutic ideal—relative to cell transplantation—would be to stimulate a resident source, thus avoiding the caveats of limited graft survival, restricted homing to the site of injury and host immune rejection. Here we demonstrate in mice that the adult heart contains a resident stem or progenitor cell population, which has the potential to contribute bona fide terminally differentiated cardiomyocytes after myocardial infarction. We reveal a novel genetic label of the activated adult progenitors via re-expression of a key embryonic epicardial gene, Wilm’s tumour 1 (Wt1), through priming by thymosin β4, a peptide previously shown to restore vascular potential to adult epicardium-derived progenitor cells2 with injury. Cumulative evidence indicates an epicardial origin of the progenitor population, and embryonic reprogramming results in the mobilization of this population and concomitant differentiation to give rise to de novo cardiomyocytes. Cell transplantation confirmed a progenitor source and chromosome painting of labelled donor cells revealed transdifferentiation to a myocyte fate in the absence of cell fusion. Derived cardiomyocytes are shown here to structurally and functionally integrate with resident muscle; as such, stimulation of this adult progenitor pool represents a significant step towards resident-cell-based therapy in human ischaemic heart disease.
Just cause it helps with one thing does not mean its a cure all. How long has this stuff been out, whats the clinical long term risk/rewards? This stuff has been out how long, and I promise you, or assure you that no one is getting pharma grade of it, its coming from some UGL or peptide lab where who knows what the hell they put in it. Im not going to be a Guinea pig for that shit. How long has it been out, stuff like this has been hitting the market for years, sarms, gh50156 this tb-5000 that and they come and go as quickly as they came.
What does stick is things like GH, Steroids, L-Carnitine, and all the tried and true stuff.
