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 study reveals that encapsulated heating methods, an often-used heat simulation method, significantly increase heart rates and cardiac strain compared to natural heat exposure like those ...

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 ...

Understanding heart function and disease, as well as testing new drugs for heart conditions, has long been a complex and time-consuming task. A promising way to study disease and test new drugs is to ...

A new lab-grown material has revealed that some of the effects of aging in the heart may be slowed and even reversed. The discovery could open the door to therapies that rejuvenate the heart by ...

There are three types of bicuspid aortic valves — types 0, 1, and 2. Experts classify these types based on whether the leaflets of the valve have fused to form a ridge. A bicuspid aortic valve is a ...
