After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One-third of patients develop heart failure as a result—a condition that impacts 6.8 million Americans and carries a high ...

Rice University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based gene activation strategy that boosts mitochondrial production in damaged heart cells, improving cardiac function after heart attacks in both ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

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 ...

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 ...

An international research team has uncovered a new insight into human evolution by comparing humans' hearts with those of other great apes. An international research team from Swansea University and ...

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 ...

Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular heart rhythm that increases a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure, and even premature death. While many risk factors contribute to A-fib, one stands ...
