Diabetes doesn’t just coexist with heart disease - it actively reshapes the heart’s machinery and the way it makes energy.

Epicardial adipose tissue was associated with greater cardiac injury among patients who experienced an acute myocardial ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart "tissue-on-a-chip" specimens into space. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes in heart muscle ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

A Stanford-led study probes why a very small number of people develop heart inflammation shortly after mRNA COVID-19 ...

Type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease—it physically reshapes the heart itself. Researchers studying ...

Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing how type 2 diabetes directly reshapes the human heart, altering both its energy production and physical structure.

For all they do for us, our hearts aren't very good at repairing themselves. So when a person suffers a heart attack, their blood pump is left with a large amount of scar tissue, which can impede the ...

When someone suffers a heart attack, their heart is left permanently scarred and thus less capable of pumping blood. According to a new study, however, a protein injection could help undo such damage.

The human heart has been found to show signs of aging after a mere month in space. Heart tissue samples aboard the International Space Station (ISS) were discovered to beat only around half as ...

Newborns with heart complications can rely on their newly developed immune systems to regenerate cardiac tissues, but adults aren't so lucky. After a heart attack, most adults struggle to regenerate ...

Medtronic has recalled certain DLP Left Heart Vent Catheters due to a defect that could cause serious injury or death. The recall applies to model numbers 12110, 12113 and 12115 with UDI-DIs ...
