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 ...

When you hear a word like “failure,” especially in the context of “heart failure,” it’s easy for your mind to turn dark. It sounds daunting and untreatable. Those are pretty scary thoughts (to ...

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 ...

A major analysis led by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), in collaboration with international institutions, has pooled data from 17,801 myocardial infarction survivors ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
