Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the heart could help to detect a life-threatening heart disease and enable clinicians to better predict which patients are most at risk, according to a new ...

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.

Adults with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who took a "polypill" combining medications prescribed for the treatment of heart failure, had improved heart function and symptoms, ...

High blood pressure is one of the leading risk factors for heart attacks and strokes, but the solution isn’t found only in prescriptions. Research consistently shows that specific, nutrient-dense ...
