BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ancora Heart, Inc., a company developing a completely transcatheter device-based therapy to address heart failure (HF), today announced that patients treated with the ...

The first biohybrid model of human ventricles has been used to answer a centuries-old question. Unlike other organs, the heart cannot repair itself after injury, so being able to engineer an entire ...

The heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes weaker, stretched, and larger in people with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This makes it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively.

MIT engineers have developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The robo-ventricle combines real heart tissue with ...

Cor pulmonale is a condition that affects the right ventricle in the heart, altering its structure and proper functioning. It is caused by a respiratory system disorder. Pulmonary hypertension is a ...

Over six weeks, the researchers administered twice-weekly injections of LXA 4 to diabetic mice with cardiovascular disease characterized by heart inflammation, scarring of the heart muscle, ...

A new study suggests that physicians might be able to assess the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by analyzing right ...

University of Toronto Engineering researchers have grown a small-scale model of a human left heart ventricle in the lab. The bioartificial tissue construct is made with living heart cells and beats ...
