Standard Imaging Captures Only a Fraction of It The Endothelial Glycocalyx: A Microscopic Lining That Helps Regulate How Blood Moves Through the Smallest Vessels How Patented Microfluidic Chip ...

To be able to observe the blood flow in the artificial heart in real time in the MRI, the researchers an Linköping University had to build a full-scale model of the human circulatory system. Using ...

UC Irvine researchers uncover important differences in common heart valve narrowing condition, bringing hope for more precise care.

Heart valves allow blood to flow one way and prevent it from flowing in the wrong direction. The tricuspid valve controls blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle. The bicuspid or ...

Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. The findings can contribute to better diagnosis and open up new ...

Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve that affects how blood flows through the heart and body. While not often linked to heart valve narrowing, high and irregular blood pressure can ...

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 ...

A new study suggests that widely used GLP-1 weight-loss drugs may do more than improve metabolic health: they could also protect the heart after a heart attack. Doctors can often reopen the blocked ...
