Seaweed gel could save heart attack victims

A gel made from seaweed ,including kelp, is injected in liquid form via the groin into the part of the heart where the heart attack has occured,its helps to build a scaffold in the affected area preventing further damage.

If new human trials are successful, the product could be avaible by 2011, possibly saving as many as 20,000 lives a year.
