CHICAGO, Ill. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – One in 18 people in the U.S. have a heart arrhythmia. A recent study suggests that one in four adults over the age of 40 could develop an irregular heartbeat. Some ...

In experiments with dogs, Johns Hopkins researchers successfully used a 3D map of the heart and sensor-guided catheter to perform cardiac ablation, a mainstay treatment that stops abnormally fast and ...

Traditional methods to treat cardiac arrhythmias typically see cardiologists inserting a catheter into the heart to measure electrical impulses and determine where in the tissue the abnormal rhythm is ...

But now, Northwestern Medicine doctors are among the first in the country to use a new advanced 3D mapping system. “By sending magnetic signals through the body, we could recreate a three-dimensional ...

The research team from Thomas Jefferson University has completed the first 3D map of neurons in the human heart. The group says that the information reveals foundational insight into the role of ...

A new way of treating arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF) - the most common heart arrhythmia diagnosis in clinical practice - has debuted at UC San Diego Health. vMap is a non-invasive, ...

Even cardiologists might not know — or pay attention to — the intracardiac nervous system. This “little brain of the heart” is a system of nerves working in concert with the brain itself to keep ...

In a game-changer for drug testing & precision medicine, a 3D flexible electrode array wraps around cardiac organoids, capturing electrical signals in three dimensions.

A major cardiovascular risk factor is thickening of the heart walls (hypertrophy), which can result from high blood pressure—but is also linked to inherited diseases of the heart which can lead to ...

Built from MRI data this video shows how the heart muscle contracts (strain) which the researchers used to find genetic associations. A major cardiovascular risk factor is thickening of the heart ...
