Researchers in China report that a simple heart ultrasound measure of left ventricular underfilling is a valuable prognostic ...

The sinoatrial (SA) node is the natural pacemaker of the heart. It generates electrical impulses that cause the heart’s chambers to contract, setting the heart rate. The SA node typically generates 60 ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses the regeneration of the cardiovascular system. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Over six weeks, the researchers administered twice-weekly injections of LXA 4 to diabetic mice with cardiovascular disease characterized by heart inflammation, scarring of the heart muscle, ...

Engineers developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The device could be used for studying right ventricle disorders ...

The chambers of the heart operate as a ‘double-pump’ system for the body’s circulation. In coordination with valves, the chambers work to keep blood flowing in the proper sequence. The chambers on the ...

Diabetes has long been treated as a disease of blood sugar, but a growing body of research suggests it is also a disease of ...
