Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One third of patients develop heart failure as a ...

After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One-third of patients develop heart failure as a result—a condition that impacts 6.8 million Americans and carries a high ...

Researchers have reduced scar formation and improved heart function in mouse models of heart failure using a monoclonal antibody treatment, similar to that approved by the FDA to treat other ...

Heart failure has historically been irreversible, but the outcome of a new study suggests that could someday change. At the University of Utah, scientists used a new gene therapy that was shown to ...

Characterized by weakened or damaged heart musculature, heart failure results in the gradual buildup of fluid in a patient's lungs, legs, feet, and other parts of the body. The condition is chronic ...

When the heart struggles to pump efficiently, a cascade of events unfolds. Fluid accumulates in the lungs and extremities. Breathing becomes labored. Simple activities like climbing stairs or carrying ...

β-blockers may increase depression risk in heart attack survivors with normal heart function, questioning their necessity for this group. The REDUCE-AMI trial found long-term β-blocker use linked to ...

That overwhelming exhaustion creeping into daily life might signal something far more serious than a busy schedule or poor sleep. When the heart struggles to pump blood effectively throughout the body ...
