Song, who is based at Korea University’s Department of Cardiology and in Seoul, South Korea. “This research takes an important step toward using a patient’s own cells to repair their heart.” Direct ...

Physician-scientists found that a subset of artificial heart patients can regenerate heart muscle, which may open the door to new ways to treat and perhaps someday cure heart failure. A research ...

A stroke can trigger a dramatic increase in adrenaline levels and other hormones. These changes can lead to impaired function of the heart muscle, with cardiac ischemia (lack of oxygen in the heart ...

Stavros Drakos. Their findings, published in Circulation, showed that patients with artificial hearts regenerated heart muscle cells at six times the rate of healthy individuals. “This is the ...

The American Heart Association, which is celebrating 100 years of lifesaving service as the world's leading voluntary organization focused on heart and brain health, strongly supports this ...
