Scientists developed a quick, painless MRI scan that measures heart oxygen levels in just three minutes, potentially transforming how doctors catch and treat heart failure early. The technology could help millions of Americans get better care without invasive procedures.
After beating two cancers, Sherry Mengel faced an unexpected battle when chemotherapy caused congestive heart failure 19 years later. Now she's partnering with her doctor to show other women that heart disease doesn't have to be a death sentence.
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 in Japan discovered the precise drug combination that allows lab-grown heart cells to survive transplant without rejection in primates. The findings bring life-saving regenerative medicine closer to reality for millions suffering from severe heart failure.
A new AI platform turns everyday smartwatches into powerful heart monitors for millions of Americans living with heart failure. The FDA just gave it breakthrough status, potentially preventing countless emergency room visits.
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.
A smartphone app that spots worsening heart failure just by analyzing your voice just earned FDA breakthrough status. Six million Americans with heart failure could soon monitor their condition without needles, implants, or doctor visits.
A Virginia man walked out of cardiac rehab after surviving cardiogenic shock, proving that specialized heart failure treatment can restore what serious illness takes away. His recovery shows how certified cardiac programs are giving patients their lives back.
Scientists discovered that a common diabetes medication dramatically reduces heart failure in people carrying rare genetic variants for heart disease. The finding could transform preventive care for thousands at high genetic risk.
Researchers have discovered a crucial clue explaining why people with chronic kidney disease face such high rates of heart failure. This breakthrough could transform how doctors diagnose and treat two of the world's most common health conditions.
A groundbreaking treatment used stem cells to grow new heart muscle for people with failing hearts, strengthening their ability to pump blood. The patches offer new hope for patients waiting for transplants or left ventricular assist devices.
Scientists discovered that severe obesity weakens heart muscle cells in a common form of heart failure, but losing weight can reverse the damage. The breakthrough could help 6.6 million Americans living with heart failure.
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.
Scientists at MIT and Harvard created an AI that forecasts which heart patients will worsen up to a year before it happens. The tool could help doctors save lives while reducing unnecessary hospital visits for lower-risk patients.
A precision medicine drug just gave teens with a dangerous inherited heart disease their first real treatment option beyond invasive surgery. The Philadelphia trial showed mavacamten dramatically reduced heart blockage and may even help hearts heal.
A Japanese startup just treated a heart failure patient using a simple catheter instead of open-heart surgery, injecting lab-grown heart muscle cells that could transform cardiac care. The patient in his 70s has already gone home.
Japan just approved the first-ever stem cell therapy that can repair hearts damaged by severe heart failure. This groundbreaking treatment could offer hope to millions of people worldwide living with life-threatening heart conditions.
Japan just greenlit two groundbreaking stem cell treatments that could restore hope for people with Parkinson's disease and severe heart failure. These are the first therapies of their kind available anywhere in the world.
A wristwatch that listens to your heart could help millions of heart failure patients stay home and healthy. Japan's A-wave is developing technology that catches warning signs before patients need emergency care.
Scientists discovered that a molecule produced by gut bacteria talks directly to the brain to protect hearts from damage caused by high blood pressure. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for heart failure that work by restoring this natural protective signal.
