Do those grow back crooked or something?
- woleium 3y agoI don’t believe they grow back at all.
- _qua 3y agoNo they get destroyed leading to hear failure and shock needing surgical replacement if you survive
- cratermoon 3y agoAdult heart cells (cardiac muscle) don't regenerate. Once they're gone, they're gone.
