>Until recently, it was commonly believed that cardiac muscle cells could not be regenerated. However, a study reported in the April 3, 2009 issue of Science contradicts that belief. Olaf Bergmann and his colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm tested samples of heart muscle from people born before 1955 who had very little cardiac muscle around their heart, many showing with disabilities from this abnormality. By using DNA samples from many hearts, the researchers estimated that a 4-year-old renews about 20% of heart muscle cells per year, and about 69 percent of the heart muscle cells of a 50-year-old were generated after he or she was born.One way that cardiomyocyte regeneration occurs is through the division of pre-existing cardiomyocytes during the normal aging process.
Literally a wikipedia page away. Before passing off your witty remark maybe you should make sure I can't disprove it less than a few webpages away.
