Type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease—it physically reshapes the heart itself. Researchers studying ...

Millions of people around the world die from heart failure every year. In future, a laboratory-grown heart patch could help with severe cases of cardiovascular disease, say scientists behind a ...

The heart listens to nerve signals as it ages. New findings show how the vagus nerve may help protect heart muscle over time.

When heart muscle gets damaged, the result is often permanent. Unlike other muscles in the body, the heart has long been believed to lack the ability to heal itself. But recent research suggests that ...

Researchers from Emory University studying how heart muscle cells grow and function in a space environment found that spaceflight increases the expression of genes involved in stress response and cell ...

In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that ...

In a study published in Science, researchers found that the defense protein "Resistin like molecule gamma" (Relmy), produced by neutrophils, punches holes into heart cells after a heart attack. This ...

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the U.S. With one in every four deaths occurring each year, the five-year survival rate after a heart attack is worse than most cancers. A big ...
