In mice, blocking heart-to-brain signals improved healing after a heart attack, hinting at new targets for cardiac therapy.

This unexpected ability opens the door for scientists to stimulate cellular mitosis and improve heart function after an attack.

Diet, exercise, sleep, and other factors can contribute to better heart health and lower heart disease risk. Learn how small changes can amount to big rewards.

The brain and vagus nerve play a key role in exacerbating tissue damage after a heart attack, but there are ways to block it.

University of California San Diego-led team has discovered that restoring a key cardiac protein called connexin‑43 in a mouse model can dramatically improve heart function and extend survival in several inherited forms of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM).

When the heart's muscle is weakened or injured due to a heart attack, it can make it hard for the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Over time, it can lead to heart failure, where the heart's function drops below 40%.

In the first long-term and real-world reflective study of its kind, scientists have uncovered new detrimental health impacts of the artificial sweetener aspartame that echoes those found in shorter research. A research team led by Spain's CIC biomaGUNE and ...

Black garlic and white garlic are both great for heart function. Here is how they differ and which one you should consume.
