    Circulation: The heart remembers: scientists describe how early-life cardiac injury in parents influences the development and function of the heart in the next generation

    Scientists at the CNIC and the University of Bern have found that heart surgery in male mice early in life creates a "memory" passed down to the next generation. Published in Circulation, the study suggests that a parental history of heart surgery should be considered when evaluating cardiovascular health in descendants.
