Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain – its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat. A better understanding of this system, which ...

AN INTERNATIONAL team of scientists have provided new insight into the Frank-Starling mechanism; a fundamental aspect of human heart function. The Frank-Starling mechanism described more than a ...

Lower cardiac output has been tied to poorer cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the temporal lobes of older adults without heart failure, a finding that adds to a growing body of research linking heart ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

An international research team has uncovered a new insight into human evolution by comparing humans' hearts with those of other great apes. An international research team from Swansea University and ...

Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular heart rhythm that increases a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure, and even premature death. While many risk factors contribute to A-fib, one stands ...

Researchers focused on Myotonic Dystrophy 1 heart problems are testing a novel approach to restore normal function. Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) is the most common adult-onset form of muscular ...
