Scientists developed an injectable magnetic gel that blocks stroke-causing blood flow better than current heart implants, with zero clotting in 10-month pig trials. This breakthrough could help millions with irregular heartbeats avoid strokes without risky complications.
Researchers have identified a tiny protein region that keeps hearts beating steadily throughout our lives. The breakthrough could lead to treatments for devastating inherited heart diseases that affect thousands of families.
A groundbreaking UK hospital study shows one in five heart valve patients can safely go home the same day as their procedure. This minimally invasive approach cuts hospital stays without increasing health risks.
Researchers discovered 200 new genes that increase the risk of aortic stenosis, a heart valve condition affecting 9 million people worldwide with no current treatment. The breakthrough could lead to early screening and the first drugs to slow or stop the disease.
Doctors can now see the entire heart's electrical activity at once, revealing hidden arrhythmia patterns that older systems miss. This breakthrough could make heart rhythm treatments faster, safer, and more effective for millions of patients.
A wireless chest patch is slashing heart diagnosis waiting times from up to 12 months down to just two weeks for Scottish patients. The "Patch and Go" device lets people go home while being monitored, freeing up 1,500 hospital bed days.
A new artificial intelligence model reads heart scans more accurately than traditional methods, helping doctors identify which patients face the highest risk of heart attacks. The breakthrough could save countless lives by personalizing care for people with heart disease.
Thousands of heart failure patients could soon skip a risky procedure where doctors thread tubes into their hearts, thanks to a breakthrough MRI technique. UK researchers developed a method to measure crucial blood oxygen levels using a standard scan instead.
When two-year-old Briar Curtis's heart stopped for two minutes during a seizure, a tiny implanted monitor caught it—thanks to research that discovered a surprising link between epilepsy and deadly heart problems. Now she's thriving in preschool with energy her mom never thought possible.
Scientists may have found a way to help millions with a stubborn form of heart failure by targeting a protein that makes heart muscles too stiff. Early research in mice shows the approach could restore flexibility to struggling hearts.
Scientists have discovered a way to make stiff heart muscles more flexible by targeting a specific protein, offering new hope for millions living with a common form of heart failure. Early results in mice show the approach could help patients enjoy better quality of life and more precious time with family.
