Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...

Key risk milestones appear as early as 35.

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form ...

Men face higher risk of cardiovascular disease earlier than women, so heart health awareness, prevention and early detection are key decades sooner than many may think.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common birth defects, but the full extent of its genetic underpinnings has been a mystery. Now, a new study of more than 11,000 children with CHD ...

New research indicates that men develop cardiovascular disease seven years earlier than women, suggesting that men may ...

An advanced human heart organoid system can be used to model embryonic heart development under pregestational diabetes-like conditions, researchers report. The organoids recapitulate hallmarks of ...

Human heart development is largely influenced by neural crest cells, which carefully regulate a key growth signal.

Catherine O'Hara's heart and organs were a mirror image of most people's. Though that is rare, congenital heart defects are fairly common.

From partial heart transplantation and complex biventricular repairs to innovative procedures in the catheterization ...
