Our research suggests that the human heart has adapted to support our upright stance, movement and larger brain. Over the last 10 years, we have been conducting assessments of the cardiovascular ...
"Understanding this system better could lead to new insights into heart diseases and help develop new treatments for diseases such as arrhythmias." The study was conducted on zebrafish, an animal ...
Maintaining a stable heartbeat is critical for survival. Your heart must constantly adapt its output to meet changing demands ...
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 ...
Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...
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 ...
In a scientific “first,” a tiny heart structure composed of human cells has been successfully grown within a pig embryo. Interestingly, this heart kept beating on its own for an impressive 21 days.
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 ...
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 ...
