A new study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, shows that individuals with elevated levels of both proteins have twice the risk of cardiovascular events.

The body's heart muscle (for pumping blood), skeletal muscle (for movement and posture), and brown fat (for heat production), each require a lot of energy and make a lot of waste. And that waste needs to be managed.

TROPOSplice proposes an evolution-inspired strategy to improve cardiac relaxation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

A new analysis of the DapaTAVI trial, published in the European Journal of Heart Failure, confirms that dapagliflozin improves outcomes after TAVI regardless of cardiac function.

The protein, OMA1, delays immune-system overactivation, liver fibrosis, and liver cancer during aging

Left ventricular hypertrabeculation, an anatomical feature of the heart traditionally linked to higher risk, does not worsen outcomes in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

The study reveals that the early heart is shaped by distinct but closely coordinated patterns of tissue deformation
