Accurately measuring electrical signals and calcium levels in the heart can lead to earlier treatment of potentially fatal conditions, such as heart attack or congestive heart failure. Calcium plays ...

New research suggests that regular aerobic exercise doesn’t just benefit the heart muscle, but subtly rewires the nerves that control how the heart works. Regular physical activity does more than ...

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 ...

Maintaining a stable heartbeat is critical for survival. Your heart must constantly adapt its output to meet changing demands for oxygen and nutrients. Traditionally, scientists have attributed this ...

A naturally occurring fat molecule reduced heart inflammation and scarring caused by diabetes, thereby improving cardiac function, according to new research. The findings open the door to developing a ...

Researchers have transplanted precursor stem cells into the damaged heart muscle of pigs, repairing injured cells and improving heart function. The study may lead to a treatment that can regenerate ...

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 ...

Getting prompt and effective heart attack treatment may help you avoid complications that can affect brain functions such as memory, focus, and decision making. A heart attack can damage the brain ...

Increasing ketone supply to the heart in mice with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) allowed their hearts to utilize more ketones and produce more energy, according to preliminary ...

Researchers have reduced scar formation and improved heart function in mouse models of heart failure using a monoclonal antibody treatment, similar to that approved by the FDA to treat other ...
