In a scientific “first,” a tiny heart structure composed of human cells has been successfully grown within a pig embryo.

Scientists have discovered that even low levels of air pollution, previously considered “safe”, can scar the human heart.

The UCLA advance opens the door to growing other vascularized organ models, including intestines and colons, providing ...

MRI-based method identifies high-risk cardiac sarcoidosis patients who would benefit from implantable defibrillators by Alex Smith, University of Minnesota Medical School ...

In-vivo measurement of myocardial viability To compare myocardial viability in vivo, we implemented a noninvasive manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) assay in the same heart used for ...

MRI and NASA-inspired pants improve stress tests and reveal hidden heart issues by Drew Davison, University of Texas at Arlington edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the heart could help to detect a life-threatening heart disease and enable clinicians to better predict which patients are most at risk, according to a ...

Scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have developed a revolutionary new way of uncovering the ‘true age’ of your heart using MRI. Research published today shows how an MRI scan can reveal ...

A novel method for real-time magnetic resonance imaging for the assessment of cardiac function in mice at 9.4 T is proposed. The technique combines a highly undersampled radial gradient echo ...

“A complex cardiac MRI exam can take over an hour, which is often challenging for patients who suffer from claustrophobia inside the bore of the scanner, find it difficult to lie still or are ...

Participants with higher heart pressure measured by MRI had a fivefold increased risk of developing heart failure over six years." Dr. Pankaj Garg, co-lead author from UEA's Norwich Medical School ...

A heart MRI is a type of scan that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the heart. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, it does not use harmful radiation.
