Researchers have created over 3,800 anatomically accurate digital hearts to investigate how age, sex and lifestyle factors influence heart disease and electrical function. For the first time, ...

Cardiac fibrosis impacts millions of patients and currently has no effective therapy. Stanford Cardiovascular Institute researchers have uncovered a new mechanosensing-based mechanism that reduces ...

In a potentially game-changing development, scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have revealed a new understanding of sometimes fatal viral infections that affect the 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 ...

Activity of a gene called RUNX1 may be a biological marker of the processes that can lead to right heart failure in PAH, a ...

Background Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and right ventricular (RV) fractional area change (FAC) are ...
