Scientists studying genetic data from nearly 50,000 people have uncovered several DNA sequence variations associated with the electrical impulses that make the heart beat. The findings may pave the ...
Sept. 25 (UPI) --Researchers have succeeded in creating a digital twin that for the first time replicates the heart's electrical conduction system, which coordinates heartbeats, a new study says. The ...
This release is available in Chinese. New research indicates that a finding on a routine electrocardiogram that signals a disorder of the electrical conducting system in one part of the heart and ...
A drug commonly used to treat high blood pressure has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of blocked electrical impulses to the heart and could be an effective treatment for certain types of ...
Sudden cardiac death resulting from fibrillation -- erratic heartbeat due to electrical instability -- is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Now, researchers have discovered a ...
Many studies have demonstrated that macrophages have multiple functions in different organs and tissues beyond their classical phagocytic activity. However, the specific functions of heart-resident ...
During a severe heart attack many heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue to stabilize the heart wall. Connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts (FB), are the dominant cell type in ...
Heart rhythm problems occur when heart muscle cells fail to properly transmit electrical signals that coordinate blood pumping. Now, scientists at Duke University have devised a promising method to ...
