Our research suggests that the human heart has adapted to support our upright stance, movement and larger brain. Over the last 10 years, we have been conducting assessments of the cardiovascular ...

"Understanding this system better could lead to new insights into heart diseases and help develop new treatments for diseases such as arrhythmias." The study was conducted on zebrafish, an animal ...

Maintaining a stable heartbeat is critical for survival. Your heart must constantly adapt its output to meet changing demands for oxygen and nutrients. Traditionally, scientists have attributed this ...

Lower cardiac output has been tied to poorer cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the temporal lobes of older adults without heart failure, a finding that adds to a growing body of research linking heart ...

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 ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

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 ...

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 ...
