Studies continue to demonstrate the importance of good sleeping habits in maintaining a healthy body weight, but there is still much to learn when it comes to understanding the finer details of this relationship. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have she… Continue reading Poor sleep linked to sustained increases in dangerous visceral fat
A new AI tool developed by researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center can accurately measure plaque deposits in coronary arteries and predict a patient’s risk of suffering a heart attack within five years. The tool needs further validation before bei… Continue reading AI algorithm accurately predicts risk of heart attack within 5 years
A clinical trial exploring the cardiovascular effects of freeze-dried whole cranberry powder is reporting daily consumption can potentially lead to long-term benefits for heart health.

Your morning vice might not be that guilty a pleasure after all: coffee seems to have a range of health benefits, but exactly how it affects the body to produce these results remains unknown. A new study has identified specific proteins that caffeine w… Continue reading Scientists identify how caffeine reduces bad cholesterol
Researchers at Harvard and Emory University have created a biohybrid fish out of human heart muscle cells that can swim autonomously for months at a time as the cells beat. The project is a quirky sidestep on the way to eventually growing new functioni… Continue reading Biohybrid fish powered by beating human heart cells swims for 100 days
While modern pacemakers have proven an invaluable and lifesaving medical tool, the way they regulate the pace of the heart differs from the varying beat of the organ in a healthy individual. Scientists see great potential in pacemaking technology that … Continue reading “Revolutionary” pacemaker tackles heart failure by listening to the lungs
When studying heart disorders, it’s important to know how electrical signals travel through cardiac tissue, and even through individual heart cells. A new pop-up sensory tool could soon provide that information, in more detail than ever before.Continue… Continue reading Tiny, toothy cardiac sensors “stab” heart cells without hurting them
In a historic procedure surgeons in the US have, for the first time, transplanted a genetically modified pig heart into a living human. The patient is currently still alive, has not rejected the pig organ and is being carefully monitored at the Univers… Continue reading World-first pig-to-human heart transplant performed in US
Scientists have discovered a new type of cell in the heart. The cells, now named nexus glia, seem to help regulate heart rate and rhythm, and the team says they may unlock new understandings of some heart defects and diseases.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading New cells discovered in the heart may regulate heart rate and rhythm
The role that regular, healthy sleeping patterns play in staving off disease continues to become clearer through studies that delve into the effects of a disrupted body clock, the 24-hour cycle known as our circadian rhythm. Adding to this pool of know… Continue reading Study suggests a 10 to 11 pm bedtime lowers risk of heart disease
