LISTEN TO YOUR HEART: Hulk Hogan’s Death Sparks Urgent Focus on Cardiac Arrest

The death of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan from cardiac arrest has reignited global concern over heart disease. At the forefront of a new wave of regenerative medicine, Prof. Mike Chan offers science-backed therapies aimed at restoring heart health and preventing future tragedies.

The wrestling world was shaken on July 24, 2025, by the sudden passing of Hulk Hogan at age 71 from cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home. Known for his larger-than-life persona, Hogan’s career spanned decades and elevated professional wrestling to global fame. His iconic red-and-yellow presence, thunderous “Hulkamania” energy, and memorable matches against legends like André the Giant and The Rock solidified his status as a pop culture phenomenon.

Behind the scenes, Hogan’s career took a toll on his health. Over more than a decade leading to his death, he faced numerous health battles, including over 25 surgeries related to heart conditions. Reports indicated he struggled with symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, signs of failing heart health. Despite these challenges, Hogan found peace in his final moments, surrounded by loved ones.

The Promise of Regenerative Medicine in Cardiac Care

The sudden demise of Hogan from cardiac arrest has not only reverberated through the wrestling world but also brought into sharp focus the ongoing challenges in cardiac health. His passing underscores the urgent need for advancements in treating heart conditions, prompting a closer examination of pioneering research in regenerative medicine spearheaded by Prof. Mike Chan, Chairman and Founder of European Wellness Biomedical Group.

Prof. Mike Chan, advocates a transformative approach to cardiac care through bioregenerative medicine. His research, highlighted in “Longevity for the Heart: Strategies Against Cardiac Inflammaging (Stem Cell & Bio-regenerative approaches)”, emphasizes harnessing cardiac stem cells and bioregenerative therapies to combat heart conditions.

“In our research, we found that the lifespan of the heart is 40. So by the age of 70, you only have half the function of a healthy heart. So if you want to have a good heart, you must do the regeneration of the heart by reversing the biological age of the heart, delay the progression of heart diseases, and maintain the health condition of the heart, 

European Wellness’s protocols, such as the DDRR (Diagnose, Detox, Repair, Regenerate) program, integrate advanced diagnostics and targeted therapies to optimize treatment outcomes.

Prof. Mike Chan’s Paradigm Shift

Prof. Mike Chan’s extensive research challenges the traditional view of the heart as a terminally differentiated organ with limited regenerative capacity. His publications, particularly focused on bioregenerative medicine, highlight the heart’s inherent ability to regenerate through stem cells and innovative therapies.

“In our research, “We’ve found that the heart possesses remarkable regenerative potential,” Prof. Mike Chan asserts.  “This capacity lies within cardiac stem cells, which can self-renew and differentiate to repair damaged tissues.”

“Through precise protocols like organ-specific precursor stem cell therapy and cardiomyocytes, we aim to rejuvenate damaged cardiac tissues and restore the heart function,” he added.

Historically, the heart has been viewed as a ‘Postmitotic Organ,’ meaning it lacks significant regenerative capabilities. However, recent studies cited by Prof. Chan suggest otherwise. “Studies have shown the presence of cardiac stem cells capable of proliferating and differentiating into functional cardiomyocytes,” he explains. This challenges long-held dogmas and opens new avenues for treating heart disease at a cellular level.

The Role of Cardiac Stem Cells

Key to Prof. Chan’s research is the role of cardiac stem cells in rejuvenating heart tissues. These cells, akin to bone marrow stem cells, demonstrate self-renewal and differentiation capacities critical for tissue repair. Studies on murine fetal development have further illuminated the presence of epicardial progenitor cells capable of differentiating into cardiomyocytes, offering insights into cardiac regeneration pathways.

“By transplanting stem cells into damaged heart tissues, we can activate resident progenitor cells,” Prof. Chan elaborates. “This dual action not only reduces myocardial injury but also enhances overall cardiac function.”

Bioregenerative Therapies in Practice

European Wellness Biomedical Group translates Prof. Mike Chan’s research into practical treatments through their DDRR (Diagnose, Detox, Repair, Regenerate) program. This comprehensive approach integrates cutting-edge therapies tailored to regenerate cardiac tissues and optimize heart health.

1. Organ-Specific Precursor Stem Cell Therapy: At the core of European Wellness’s treatment protocols lies organ-specific precursor stem cell therapy. “Real healing must be organ-specific and personalized,” Prof. Chan emphasizes. This therapy utilizes fetal precursor stem cells, sourced from accredited closed colonies and prepared through advanced tissue cultures, to target and rejuvenate damaged heart tissues without the need for immunosuppression.
2. Cell Peptide Therapy (Mito Organelles & Nano Organ-Specific Peptides): Beyond stem cells, Prof. Chan’s team focuses on cell peptide therapies derived from mitochondrial organelles and organ-specific nano peptides. These peptides play a crucial role in enhancing cellular rejuvenation and mitigating mitochondrial dysfunction, a common factor in cardiac aging and disease progression.
3. Cell Membrane Therapy (Phosphatidylcholine): Phosphatidylcholine (PC) therapy, highlighted in Prof. Chan’s publications, supports cellular integrity and function crucial for heart health. “The cell membrane is vital for gene regulation and expression,” Prof. Chan notes. PC therapy aims to restore membrane integrity, promoting anti-aging benefits and longevity across cardiovascular conditions.
4. Holistic and Integrative Approach: European Wellness adopts a holistic philosophy, addressing physical, emotional, environmental, and genetic factors in their treatment plans. This comprehensive approach ensures that patients receive personalized care aimed at restoring overall health and preventing disease progression.

Global Impact and Tribute

Hulk Hogan’s legacy as a wrestling icon transcends the ring, inspiring millions worldwide. His sudden death has prompted an outpouring of tributes from celebrities, fans, and peers in the wrestling community. WWE’s memorials and the heartfelt messages from John Cena, Sylvester Stallone, and Mario Lopez underscore Hogan’s enduring impact on popular culture and sports entertainment.

American actor and television host Mario Lopez reflected, ‘Hogan embodied strength and resilience, qualities that resonate far beyond wrestling,'” encapsulating the sentiment shared globally.

Prof. Mike Chan’s innovative approach offers a beacon of hope for the future of cardiac care, promising transformative treatments that could revolutionize heart health worldwide.

As research into cardiac regeneration advances under Prof. Mike Chan’s leadership, the potential for bioregenerative medicine to redefine treatment standards becomes increasingly evident. European Wellness’s pioneering efforts in stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine exemplify a shift towards personalized, holistic care aimed at restoring and enhancing cardiac function.

With ongoing advancements, the hope is to mitigate the impact of cardiac diseases like those tragically exemplified by Hulk Hogan’s untimely death, ushering in a new era of heart health where regeneration is not just a possibility but a clinical reality.

In this vision, Prof. Mike Chan and European Wellness stand at the forefront, bridging the gap between scientific discovery and compassionate care, offering a path forward for patients seeking to heal and thrive against all odds.
