Less-invasive cardiac MRI helps in early evaluation of patients
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
An estimated 3 million people with severe chest discomfort and slightly increased troponin levels visit emergency rooms each year. When the heart muscle suffers damage due to a heart attack, high amounts of protein troponin are produced. It is still unknown how to diagnose and treat people w

Cardiac progenitor cells generate healthy tissue after heart attack
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Following a heart attack, the human body is incapable of repairing lost tissue due to the heart's inability to generate new muscle. However, treatment with heart progenitor cells could result in the formation of functional heart cells at injured sites. This new therapeutic approach is introd

Study finds genes influence cats' response to disease medication
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Cats develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, which causes the heart muscle to thicken. As the illness progresses, cats can develop blood clots in their hearts, which can dislodge and cause excruciating pain, anxiety, or even death.
