Papillary muscle scarring (papSCAR) is prevalent in one-third of DCM patients and predicts cardiac death independently. The FIDDLE technique significantly improves papSCAR detection sensitivity ...

A tiny patch placed on the outside of the heart may someday help it heal itself after a heart attack, instead of slowly failing over time. That is the hope behind a new microneedle patch designed by ...

Northwestern Medicine researchers are looking at how newborns' newly developed immune systems can regenerate cardiac tissue. They say understanding the mechanism in infants could lead to tissue repair ...

Researchers created a dissolvable microneedle patch that delivers IL-4 directly to damaged heart tissue, jump-starting repair ...

UVA's Kenneth Walsh, PhD, and his team have discovered how Y chromosome loss triggers changes in heart immune cells that make the cells more likely to cause scarring and heart failure. University of ...

Scientists reveal how mapping cellular interactions in the heart could unlock better recovery after heart attacks.

A new microneedle patch delivers IL-4 directly into damaged heart tissue, helping the heart rebuild after a heart attack. The treatment encourages immune cells to switch into a healing mode while ...

Researchers at WashU Medicine have reduced scar formation and improved heart function in mouse models of heart failure using a monoclonal antibody treatment. Untreated mice develop major scarring ...

A new patch developed by Texas A&M University researcher Dr. Ke Huang may offer a way to help the heart heal after a heart attack. The patch uses a unique microneedle system to deliver a therapeutic ...

Unlike humans, zebrafish can completely regenerate their hearts after injury. They owe this ability to the interaction between their nervous and immune systems, as researchers now report. Unlike ...

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 ...
