Heart rhythm problems occur when heart muscle cells fail to properly transmit electrical signals that coordinate blood pumping. Now, scientists at Duke University have devised a promising method to ...

Electrical problems in the heart can often lead to serious and fatal complications including complete heart block or heart failure. Left ventricular conduction disease occurs when there is an ...

Sept. 25 (UPI) --Researchers have succeeded in creating a digital twin that for the first time replicates the heart's electrical conduction system, which coordinates heartbeats, a new study says. The ...

Researchers have produced the most detailed and comprehensive human Heart Cell Atlas to date, including the specialized tissue of the cardiac conduction system -- where the heartbeat originates. In a ...

Vienna, 30 March 2025– The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has released a groundbreaking consensus statement on conduction system pacing (CSP), marking a significant milestone in the evolution of ...

Heart conduction disorders can often lead to serious or fatal complications including complete heart block or heart failure. Left ventricular conduction disease occurs when there is an electrical ...

During a severe heart attack many heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue to stabilize the heart wall. Connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts (FB), are the dominant cell type in ...

Ten months after transplanting the first genetically-modified pig heart into a human patient, researchers continue to report on new findings from the landmark transplant. Their latest study ...
