A protein that helps make neurons also works to reprogram scar tissue cells into heart muscle cells, according to a new study.

Both hot and cold environments trigger a stress response in the human body and can lead to cardiovascular problems, new research finds.

Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh have discovered a predictor of blood lipid — or cholesterol — status for midlife women.

A protein that helps make neurons also works to reprogram scar tissue cells into heart muscle, and could play a role in future medicines.

It is increasingly recognized that getting enough sleep, particularly high-quality sleep, is important for health including heart health.

A protein that helps make neurons also works to reprogram scar tissue cells into heart muscle cells, UNC School of Medicine study finds.

As with all tissue regeneration, heart repair requires the birth of new cells, which can only happen through the process of cell division.

The device uses light and a technique called optogenetics, which modifies cells that are sensitive to light to affect their behavior.

Study using the American Heart Association framework provides evidence that sleep is integral to preserving heart health

Taking a more spirited approach and walking briskly — defined as more than 40 steps per minute — drops dementia risk by 57%.

A drug first developed to treat Alzheimer’s disease and sickle cell disease reduces obesity, fatty liver and improves heart function.

A mobile phone app which records a user’s heartbeat could pave the way for doctors to monitor cardiac patients remotely, research suggests.

Heart disease is a leading cause of human death and is associated with numerous other secondary illnesses for humans and other mammals.

The findings, published in the scientific journal Circulation, are expected to contribute to the development of regenerative heart medicines

A new design by MIT engineers might make the ultrasound technology as wearable and accessible as buying Band-Aids at the pharmacy.

In a new study, University of Chicago scientists find that holes can also improve technology, including medical devices.

Heart disease — the leading cause of death in the U.S. — is so deadly in part because the heart, unlike other organs, cannot repair itself.

About 80% of people in the U.S. have low to moderate cardiovascular health based on the AHA’s new Life’s Essential 8™ checklist.

Researchers developed a method that combines a low-power laser with ultrasound to remove arterial plaque safely and efficiently.
