BACKGROUND: Fontan circulatory failure (FCF) is a chronic state in palliated single ventricle heart disease with high morbidity and mortality rates, including heart failure, multisystem end-organ ...

BACKGROUND: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes is a potentially curative strategy for ischemic heart ...

A methodology is presented here for automatic construction of a ventricular model of the cardiac conduction system (CCS), which is currently a missing block in many multiscale cardiac electromechanic ...

The octopus is one of the world’s most alien creatures, but nothing puts that into perspective more than the physiological differences between them and the creatures we’re most familiar with. Like ...

The objective of this study was to develop an injectable and biocompatible hydrogel which can efficiently deliver a nanocomplex of graphene oxide (GO) and vascular endothelial growth factor-165 (VEGF) ...

Conventional long-term ventricular assist devices continue to be extremely problematic due to infections caused by percutaneous drivelines and thrombotic events associated with the use of ...

A team of engineers has recently built a tissue-like bioelectronic mesh system integrated with an array of atom-thin graphene sensors that can simultaneously measure both the electrical signal and the ...

Heart and circulatory diseases affect more than seven million people in the UK. Non-invasive cardiac imaging is a critical element of contemporary cardiology practice. Progressive improvements in ...

Evaluation of arrhythmogenic drugs is required by regulatory agencies before any new compound can obtain market approval. Despite rigorous review, cardiac disorders remain the second most common cause ...

The trinational engine effort aims to bring adaptive-cycle power and propulsion to the Future Combat Air System fighter.
