Researchers have reduced scar formation and improved heart function in mouse models of heart failure using a monoclonal antibody treatment, similar to that approved by the FDA to treat other ...
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 ...

The human heart can lose up to one-third of its cardiomyocyte (heart muscle cells) following a severe heart attack, but a new study found that the heart can regrow these cells following ischemia.
Lead author Dr. Cristian Topriceanu (UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science) said, "Cardiac MRI picks up scarring of the heart tissue, inflammation and signs the heart muscle is not working as well ...
Accurately measuring electrical signals and calcium levels in the heart can lead to earlier treatment of potentially fatal conditions, such as heart attack or congestive heart failure. Calcium plays ...
