Doctors said specialised evaluation helped detect an underlying issue missed in routine tests, highlighting the risks linked to unexplained fainting.

Electrical problems in the heart can often lead to serious and fatal complications including complete heart block or heart failure. Left ventricular conduction disease occurs when there is an ...

During a severe heart attack many heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue to stabilize the heart wall. Connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts (FB), are the dominant cell type in ...

Sept. 25 (UPI) --Researchers have succeeded in creating a digital twin that for the first time replicates the heart's electrical conduction system, which coordinates heartbeats, a new study says. The ...

Medtronic has secured a new approval from the FDA that expands the flexibility of its pacemaker hardware, allowing it to tap into the heart’s natural electrical signals. Known as conduction system ...

A recent study to be presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2022* revealed unexpected changes in the electrical conduction system of the first genetically-modified ...

Ten months after transplanting the first genetically-modified pig heart into a human patient, researchers continue to report on new findings from the landmark transplant. Their latest study ...

A new study has found that exposure to e-cigarette aerosols can cause heart arrhythmias in animal models -- both in the form of premature and skipped heart beats. The study findings suggest exposure ...
