Many dangerous heart rhythm disorders go undetected because symptoms are intermittent, traditional monitoring is brief, and early warning signs often appear only during daily activity. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania have developed a wearable cardiac monitoring system […]

Heart disease remains difficult to study because conventional laboratory models cannot reproduce the complex motion, internal structures and disease mechanics of the human heart. Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a soft robotic model of the left side of the
Irregular heart rhythms can lead to serious complications because the heart cannot pump blood effectively when its electrical signals become disorganized. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a noninvasive ultrasound based pacemaker that aims to restore normal
Ultrasound Pacemaker Offers Noninvasive Method to Stabilize Irregular Heart Rhythms Read More »
Severe heart failure leaves patients with few meaningful options because damaged heart muscle cannot regenerate and the heart gradually loses its ability to pump blood effectively. A new approach out of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and the University

Many treatments for cancer and cardiovascular disease struggle to deliver drugs to the right place without harming healthy tissue. A University of Central Florida researcher has created smart microbubbles that carry therapeutic agents directly to diseased areas and release them

Patients with life‑threatening heart rhythm disorders such as ventricular tachycardia often face limited treatment options. Standard therapies include medications, implantable defibrillators, and catheter ablation, but these approaches can fail when the arrhythmia originates deep within scarred heart tissue. Researchers at
Heart failure remains a leading cause of death worldwide, and progress is often slowed by how long it takes for disease related changes to appear in patients on Earth. In normal gravity, the heart and muscles weaken gradually over years,
Long term heart monitoring is essential for diagnosing cardiac conditions, yet the experience is often uncomfortable for patients. Conventional electrocardiogram electrodes rely on sticky adhesives that can irritate the skin and gels that dry out over time, degrading signal quality.
Arteriosclerosis, the stiffening and thickening of arterial walls, is a major driver of heart attacks and strokes, but it is difficult to monitor continuously in daily life. Most current diagnostic tools rely on hospital equipment, short snapshots of vascular health,
Heart disease remains one of the most difficult conditions to monitor outside a clinical setting because most diagnostic tools require patients to lie still, remove clothing, and wear specialized sensors for only a few minutes at a time. This creates
