An AI algorithm could help to predict which patients might develop significant heart problems years in advance, just based on ECG readings. In a study, published today in The European Heart Journal, ...

NOTE: A link to videos of the developing heart is at end of the release. The human heart confounds logic by starting to beat before it is fully formed —a developmental oddity shared by all vertebrate ...

Heart valves are gate-like mobile structures that control the flow of blood in the heart. Your heart is expected to produce three billion beats in a lifetime, which means these moving parts undergo ...

Under a complete national abortion ban, the incidence of neonatal single-ventricle cardiac defects would likely increase, as would the associated resource utilization, according to a decision analysis ...

Your heart has four valves that open and close with each heartbeat to control the flow of blood. Heart valve diseases are conditions that affect one or more heart valves. Each heart valve condition ...
