This release is available in Chinese. New research indicates that a finding on a routine electrocardiogram that signals a disorder of the electrical conducting system in one part of the heart and ...

Myocardial infarction (MI) impairs cardiac electrical signal transmission, which could be partially remedied by implantable electroactive biomaterials. Here we characterize electroactive cardiac ...

During a severe heart attack many heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue to stabilize the heart wall. Connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts (FB), are the dominant cell type in ...

Researchers from UCL (University College London) and the ESRF (The European Synchrotron) have produced the first three-dimensional map of the heart's electrical wiring in Tetralogy of Fallot, one of ...

Most congenital and acquired cardiac diseases feature structural remodeling of the myocardium, including fibrosis and loss of cardiomyocytes and/or their alignment (disarray), which can contribute to ...

Sept. 25 (UPI) --Researchers have succeeded in creating a digital twin that for the first time replicates the heart's electrical conduction system, which coordinates heartbeats, a new study says. The ...

A cross-university paper led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London, published in the Journal of Physiology, shows ...

New research highlights postnatal regeneration limits and pathological remodeling of the cardiac conduction system after myocardial infarction, uncovering mechanisms behind clinical arrhythmogenesis ...

Electrical problems in the heart can often lead to serious and fatal complications including complete heart block or heart failure. Left ventricular conduction disease occurs when there is an ...

Engineered bacterial genes coding for sodium ion channels could be a promising therapeutic approach for cardiac arrhythmias, scientists at Duke University proposed. (Pixabay) () Heart rhythm problems ...

Ten months after transplanting the first genetically-modified pig heart into a human patient, researchers continue to report on new findings from the landmark transplant. Their latest study ...

Electrocardiologists are cardiologists who have received additional training in testing for and treating heart rhythm problems. Electrocardiologists are also known as electrophysiologists, cardiac ...
