Researchers from Rutgers Health and RWJBarnabas Health have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technology that transforms basic electrocardiogram (ECG) readings of electrical activity into ...

What they discovered proved startling: for every 1% increase in what scientists call the “fatty muscle fraction,” the risk of serious heart problems rose by 7%. Even more revealing ...

and smooth muscle cells (SMC), distributed through the thickness of muscle layers, we demonstrate distinct Ca 2+ signaling patterns and organization that underlie complex colonic motor activities.

The causes in people under the age of 39 are often a thickening of the heart muscle or an electrical problem with the heart. In older people, SCD is more likely to be caused by a narrowing of the ...

The tragic star experienced dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle that causes the heart chambers to enlarge and stretch. And he suffered from cirrhosis which damaged his liver ...

Sitting for hours also weakens your heart muscle itself. Like any muscle, the heart needs regular challenge to maintain optimal function. The relatively low cardiovascular demand during sitting ...

The heart attack had weakened his heart muscles, leading to heart failure. Walking short distances left him breathless, and even simple tasks such as getting up to go to the toilet posed a challenge.

Once adapted to treat humans, the technique could potentially be used to repair heart muscle damage after a heart attack and be applied to a variety of inflammatory disorders. The investigators ...
