Does the heart have some self-healing properties like the liver?

Does the heart have self helaing properites like the liver?

Like if you follow a healthy lifestyle after some abuse will it "heal"?

I know it doesn't work as fast as the livver but does it heal itself over time at all?

Same question fot the kidneys?

[Deezuhl]

i dont think the heart deteiorates or regenerates at all like the liver.. just a guess though..

You can function fine with only 15% of your liver remaining. It's the only organ in the body that can regenerate itself.

The heart can't heal itself, but its good at rerouting blood should the arteries become blocked.

[Heracles74]

it can heal itself but not rebuild new tissue. Only the liver can do that
