Turning on repair mechanisms in cells that survive injury in the heart and other tissues In mammals, including humans, the cells that contract the heart muscle and enable it to beat do not r... Read more
Beating patch is as strong and electrically active as healthy adult heart Biomedical engineers at Duke University have created a fully functioning artificial human heart muscle large enough... Read more
Patients at risk of heart attacks and strokes may be spotted earlier thanks to a diagnosis tool that uses near-infrared light to identify high-risk arterial plaques, according to research ca... Read more
MSI-1436 Holds Potential to Restore Heart Function After a Heart Attack Scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory and Novo Biosciences have identified a drug candidate to restore heart mus... Read more
Noninvasive CT angiography and stress tests can help predict which patients are likely to suffer a heart attack or other adverse cardiovascular event, according to a new study appearing onli... Read more
In Lab Tests, Researchers Halt Arrhythmias With Gentle Beams—Not Harsh Electric Shocks Using high-tech human heart models and mouse experiments, scientists at Johns Hopkins and Germany’s Uni... Read more
During a heart attack, clots or narrowed arteries block blood flow, harming or killing cells within the tissue. But the damage doesn’t end after the crushing pain subsides. Instead, the hear... Read more
New sensor for early detection of heart attack in humans, providing results in just 1 minute. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Therefore, a fast and reliab... Read more
University of Melbourne doctors and engineers are using supercomputers to create 3D models from patients with heart disease, with photos from a camera thinner than a human hair. The images,... Read more
An international team of researchers has identified a protein that helps heart muscle cells regenerate after a heart attack. Researchers also showed that a patch loaded with the protein and... Read more
Australian researchers funded by the National Heart Foundation are a step closer to a safer and more effective way to treat heart attack and stroke via nanotechnology. The research jointly l... Read more
A little more than a decade ago, researchers discovered that all cells secrete tiny communications modules jammed with an entire work crew of messages for other cells. Today, a team of resea... Read more
The total number of deaths was low and death caused by heart disease was reduced by 61%. In patients with an acute heart attack, remote ischemic conditioning – intermittent inflation of a bl... Read more
Extending vaccination programme to 50-64 year olds should be explored further, say researchers The flu jab seems to almost halve the risk of heart attacks in middle aged people with narrowed... Read more
