Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but the outcome of a new study suggests that could someday change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that was shown to ...

Your heart might be functioning as if it’s decades older than your chronological age, particularly if you carry excess weight or live with chronic health conditions. The concept of “functional heart ...

Accurately measuring electrical signals and calcium levels in the heart can lead to earlier treatment of potentially fatal conditions, such as heart attack or congestive heart failure. Calcium plays ...

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, yet many of the most effective preventive measures involve simple dietary choices that can be implemented immediately. Medical professionals ...

Heart failure patients often fear exercise, but doctors say safe, supervised physical activity improves circulation, strength ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

In two large studies of heart attack survivors, beta-blocker drugs benefited those with mildly impaired heart function Contradictory trial results seen in patients without heart dysfunction More data ...

A naturally occurring fat molecule reduced heart inflammation and scarring caused by diabetes, thereby improving cardiac function, according to new research. The findings open the door to developing a ...

In the first long-term and real-world reflective study of its kind, scientists have uncovered new detrimental health impacts of the artificial sweetener aspartame that echoes those found in shorter ...

Lower cardiac output has been tied to poorer cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the temporal lobes of older adults without heart failure, a finding that adds to a growing body of research linking heart ...
