New research suggests that regular aerobic exercise doesn’t just benefit the heart muscle, but subtly rewires the nerves that control how the heart works. Regular physical activity does more than ...
Maintaining a stable heartbeat is critical for survival. Your heart must constantly adapt its output to meet changing demands ...
A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...
Heart failure is the end-stage of many heart diseases, including and most commonly, heart attack (myocardial infarction). Acute myocardial infarction (MI) causes inflammation and scarring (fibrosis) ...
A new lab-grown material has revealed that some of the effects of aging in the heart may be slowed and even reversed. The discovery could open the door to therapies that rejuvenate the heart by ...
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 ...
The procedure used to treat arrhythmias typically allows for a short recovery time, but precautions are necessary to preserve healthy heart function. Heart ablation creates little scars on heart ...
A new study reveals that encapsulated heating methods, an often-used heat simulation method, significantly increase heart rates and cardiac strain compared to natural heat exposure like those ...
