A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically ...

Well, they should soon be able to do so – and the model will actually pump liquid, just like the patient's real heart pumps blood. Building upon previous research, an MIT/Harvard University team ...

A study led by a physician-scientist at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Tucson's Sarver Heart Center identified ...

Now that scientists know the aorta helps the heart pump blood, they can start working on ... Researchers then crafted an artificial aorta model made of flexible latex to match the actual aorta ...

They can then control the replica's action to mimic that patient's blood-pumping ... computer model of the patient's left ventricle (the main pumping chamber of the heart) and aorta.

Blood flows continuously through your body's blood vessels. Your heart is the pump that makes it all possible. The heart is under the rib cage, to the left of your breastbone (sternum) and between ...

A blood pressure reading displays systolic and diastolic pressure. The heart is a pump that supplies all tissues and organs of the body with oxygen-rich blood. The heartbeat is caused by the heart ...

Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart has trouble pumping blood the way it should, often due to damage, inflammation, or weakness in the heart muscle. There is no known cure for CHF ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...
