With one IV injection, a gene therapy targeting cBIN1 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 survival.
Studying the cells of people and genetically engineered mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have uncovered a potential reason why patients with Loeys-Dietz syndrome, an inherited connective tissue disorder, are especially prone to developing aneurysms at the root of the aorta, the major artery that carries blood away from the heart and to the rest of the body.
A groundbreaking study led by the University of South Australia and conducted in collaboration with 140 authors across the globe, has created the world’s largest and most geographically comprehensive international norms for handgrip strength, enabling global peer-comparison, health screening and surveillance across the adult lifespan.
A research team from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine will study approaches to postpartum blood pressure control among Ohio patients, as part of a $12.5 million three-state study.
Johns Hopkins Medicine has been awarded more than $18 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to lead a multi-institutional effort to develop a novel extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and advanced life-support system device. ECMO devices assist patients by enabling heart and lung function when their organs are too damaged or weak to function normally.
Field Medical® Inc., a leader in pulsed field cardiac catheter ablation technology, announced today that its FieldForce™ Ablation System has been accepted into the FDA's Total Product Life Cycle Advisory Program (TAP) Pilot and granted Breakthrough Device Designation for sustained monomorphic scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT).
In a ground-breaking new development, researchers have created conductive films by mixing conductive polymers with two-dimensional carbon materials. These films can be used as electrodes to monitor a wide range of body signals when pasted on the surface of human skin, including cardiac, myoelectric, and ocular signals.
President of Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital given top honor for his contributions to the understanding and treatment of atherosclerosis
Ballet dancer Marat Daukayev is back en pointe after a near-fatal heart attack. This week, for the second time since his heart scare, Daukayev and his wife are putting the final touches on a production of “The Nutcracker” that will feature more than 100 of their ballet students. It will be performed this coming weekend.
Earlier research showed that primary care clinicians using AI-ECG tools identified more unknown cases of a weak heart pump, also called low ejection fraction, than without AI. New study findings published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Digital Health suggest that this type of screening is also cost-effective in the long term, especially in outpatient settings.
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital identified a panel of 27 proteins that could accurately predict treatment-related cardiomyopathy risk among childhood cancer survivors.
University Hospitals was awarded $7 million in research funding by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to study Endovascular Thrombectomy in Patients Presenting beyond 24 Hours of Last-Known-Well. Amrou Sarraj, MD, FAHA, FSVIN, director of Stroke Center and Stroke Systems at the UH Neurological Institute, will lead the study, which aims to provide deterministic evidence of clinical benefit due to addition of endovascular thrombectomy to standard medical care in this population.
An affordable and effective nutritional approach to help reduce inflammation and prevent Type 2 diabetes.
A new report from the Bloomberg American Health Initiative at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health finds that life expectancy in the United States is, on average, 78.6 years versus 81.3 years in England and Wales, an overall 2.7-year difference.
A multi-institutional team including Jon Detterich, MD, Principal Investigator in the Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, found that cardiovascular MRI with late gadolinium enhancement can predict heart risk in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
As part of the COVID-19 International Research Team, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the University of Pittsburgh and Weill Cornell Medicine discovered a novel cause of cytokine storm — the extreme inflammatory response associated with increased risk of death in COVID-19 infection.
A cardiogenic shock team at a Texas specialty hospital significantly decreased the time from first signs to diagnosis and from the initial transfer request to acceptance for patients being transferred from a referring hospital
A new independent report reveals that medication management solutions like Ochsner Digital Medicine deliver superior hypertension outcomes and long-term cost savings compared to other digital approaches
