Electrocardiogram (ECG) measures taken after the first pig-to-human heart transplant found significantly different electrical conduction characteristics compared to those seen in native pig hearts ...

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 ...

This release is available in Chinese. New research indicates that a finding on a routine electrocardiogram that signals a disorder of the electrical conducting system in one part of the heart and ...

Ten months after transplanting the first genetically-modified pig heart into a human patient, University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers continue to report on new findings from the ...

When patients with congenital heart issues have an operation, surgeons have to proceed with an "eye of faith" as they work around conduction tissue—a network of cells and electrical signals that ...

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 ...

A recent study to be presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2022* revealed unexpected changes in the electrical conduction system of the first genetically-modified ...

New research highlights postnatal regeneration limits and pathological remodeling of the cardiac conduction system after myocardial infarction, uncovering mechanisms behind clinical arrhythmogenesis ...

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 ...
