In cardiology, sex and gender-sensitive diagnosis and treatment planning are crucial, but biological differences remain the missing link in AI-powered human virtual twin technology.
While Africa accounts for roughly 25% of the global disease burden, its people are largely invisible in randomised controlled trials.
A liquid injected into the heart that sets like a gel could one day prevent strokes caused by atrial fibrillation, animal tests suggest.
Approaching heart failure like an autoimmune condition could offer new ways to improve patient survival.
TV shows can be misleading when it comes to educating viewers on hands-only CPR, along with who experiences cardiac arrest and where.
Life-changing advances in cardiovascular medicine enabled Cheney to live a productive life well beyond what many heart patients experience. But prevention is the most effective tool of all.
With the help of AI, doctors might be able to detect heart disease before it becomes audible to the human ear.
Recent headlines suggested that a common heart attack drug ‘doesn’t work’ and may be fatal for women. A cardiologist reviews the evidence.
Studying why heart cells are less likely to become cancerous can provide clues to improving heart regeneration and treatments for heart disease.
A ‘heart patch’ recently received enthusiastic coverage in the media. A scientist who carried out similar experiments is surprised.
Obesity can put strain on the heart, resulting in an increased risk of conditions such as atrial fibrillation, or irregular heart rhythms.
As cardiovascular disease continues to affect millions worldwide, adapting heart health education to reflect cultural realities is a practical, patient-centred strategy for improving health outcomes.
Cardiovascular disease develops and presents differently in women and men. But medical guidelines are often based on studies that excluded women.
A cardiac arrest and a heart attack are distinct, yet overlapping, concepts. Here’s how to tell them apart.
Researchers designed an ultrathin pacemaker that can be implanted via minimally invasive techniques, potentially improving recovery time and reducing the risk of complications.
Some claim that Alexei Navalny was killed by a single blow to the heart. But is this feasible?
People who regularly engage in significant amounts of exercise, as endurance athletes do, may develop enlarged hearts. While athletic heart is adapted for performance, it can be cause for concern.
Heart rates that are too slow or too fast can sometimes be lethal. Medical implants can help the heart get its rhythm back.
In recent years, stenting as a treatment for stable angina has been drawn into question.
