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 ...
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 ...
How did your heart form? What triggered your first heartbeat? To this day, the mechanisms of human heart development remain elusive. Researchers know the heart is the first organ to fully function in ...
Growing human cardiac tissue that behaves like native heart muscle would be transformative for biomedical research, enabling researchers to study human physiology and model heart diseases under fully ...
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 ...
AN INTERNATIONAL team of scientists have provided new insight into the Frank-Starling mechanism; a fundamental aspect of human heart function. The Frank-Starling mechanism described more than a ...
In two large studies of heart attack survivors, beta-blocker drugs benefited those with mildly impaired heart function Contradictory trial results seen in patients without heart dysfunction More data ...
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 ...
