We could soon be checking our heart rhythm while doing the grocery shopping, thanks to a device incorporated into the handle of a supermarket trolley designed to monitor for atrial fibrillation, a common heart arrhythmia that’s a key risk factor for st… Continue reading Testing for a common heart arrhythmia with a shopping trolley
Researchers have transplanted precursor stem cells into the damaged heart muscle of pigs, repairing injured cells and improving heart function. The study may lead to a treatment that can regenerate heart muscle damaged by a lack of oxygen.Continue Read… Continue reading Stem cell therapy regenerates damaged heart cells & improves function
As if Mondays weren’t bad enough: the weekend’s over, and, for many of us, it’s back to work. Now, according to research presented at this year’s British Cardiovascular Society Conference, the most life-threatening type of heart attack is more likely t… Continue reading Most severe heart attacks are more likely on Monday, research shows
Wearable technology is a rapidly evolving area of medicine, and now engineers from the University of California (UC) San Diego have continued the trend, developing a wireless ultrasound-system-on-a-patch that can continuously monitor vital signs in rea… Continue reading A wearable ultrasound could revolutionize monitoring on the move
Surgeons have successfully performed a first-of-its-kind procedure in utero to treat a potentially fatal genetic defect in the brain. Usually treated after birth, the new procedure could give newborns a better chance of a normal life.

There are few areas of health with as much conflicting information as diet and nutrition. In an effort to simplify advice, the American Heart Association (AHA) has offered a no-nonsense assessment of 10 popular dietary patterns specifically for how wel… Continue reading Ten popular diets ranked for heart health
Cancer treatment is a complex and multifaceted area of medicine, and despite it having led to much greater survival rates, there are still many negative health impacts.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cardiovascular, University College L… Continue reading Scientists pinpoint the cause of heart damage in cancer treatments
Researchers have developed a mobile, noninvasive, ultrathin, stretchable, battery-operated electronic tattoo that simultaneously measures the heart’s electrical and mechanical activity, offering a new method of diagnosing and monitoring heart disease.C… Continue reading New mobile e-tattoo better monitors heart, can help prevent heart disease
Australian researchers have achieved two firsts that will assist in the global battle against heart disease: they created a tiny beating heart with its own vascular system and then uncovered how the vascular system affects inflammation-driven heart dam… Continue reading World-first vascularization to advance global research into heart disease
A team of researchers led by Northwestern University and the University of Texas at Austin (UT) have developed a novel graphene heart implant that’s about the thickness of a strand of hair and monitors and corrects abnormal heart rhythms using light.Co… Continue reading Implantable graphene e-tattoo uses light to monitor, correct arrhythmias
