Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

ENPP1 is expressed in the region of scarring after injury to the heart. Cardiac muscle shown in red and ENPP1 in green demonstrates expression of ENPP1 in the region of scar formation.

The heart is the body's hardest-working muscle. Whether you're awake or asleep, or exercising or resting, your heart is always at work. It pumps blood through arteries to deliver oxygen to organs and ...

Study shows greater muscle area in men leads increased risk of heart disease; it's different for muscle density. Body composition -- often expressed as the amount of fat in relation to muscle -- is ...

Mount Sinai’s Cardiovascular Research Institute is sending bioengineered human heart muscle cells and micro-tissues into space for the first time on NASA’s 29 th SpaceX commercial resupply services ...

Papillary muscle scarring (papSCAR) is prevalent in one-third of DCM patients and predicts cardiac death independently. The FIDDLE technique significantly improves papSCAR detection sensitivity ...

Non-invasive cardiac mapping reconstructed 3D cardiac activation and improved arrhythmia localisation. Read more about its ...

Lower skeletal muscle mass was associated with an increased risk for short- and long-term mortality in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA). This association was particularly strong with ...

Cardiac complications in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are the result of cardiac muscle involvement that accompanies the deterioration of skeletal muscle in the disease. The use of ...
