Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common cause of non-ischaemic sudden cardiac death (SCD). Left ventricular ...

Cardiotoxicity of trastuzumab is considered to be the result of attenuated HER2-mediated signaling in the heart, culminating in decreased functionality of cardiac myocytes. HER2 appears to ...

In January 2023, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field during a Monday night game in one of the most frightening scenes in the history of American sports.

Researchers used data from the Portland Cardiac Arrest Epidemiologic Registry, which comprehensively recorded the placement position of defibrillation pads from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2023.

Sudden cardiac arrest hits some 60,000 Canadians out of hospital each year. The heart abruptly stops beating, blood circulation and breathing halts, and when it happens outside a hospital ...

One mechanism by which cardiac macrophages maintain cardiac homeostasis may be through efferocytosis (77). Efferocytosis is a process by which macrophages recognize and engulf the dead cells, tissue ...

This study demonstrates that mechanically quiescent cardiomyocytes have the ability to preserve cardiac function similar to WT contractile cardiomyocytes. We do not dispute the elegant optogenetic ...

This blockage deprives the heart of oxygen, causing the death of heart muscle cells known as cardiac myocytes. To minimize further damage, the heart uses a process called autophagy, which allows ...

Graduates will be fully prepared and eligible to enter a career as a Healthcare Science Practitioner in cardiac physiology or respiratory and sleep science in a variety of healthcare settings ...

Cardiac enzymes (the old name), or cardiac biomarkers (the new name), are blood tests that are used to detect damage to heart muscle cells. Cardiac biomarkers are proteins from heart muscle cells that ...

Defining the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac resilience is crucial to find effective approaches to protect the heart. A physiologic level of ROS is produced in the heart by fatty acid ...
