Crew Apple Watch has been shown to be able to detect heart attacks and to identify cardiac arrhythmias in combination with machine learning. Such collaboration between the Apple Watch and the medical ...

Elevated resting heart rate is associated with greater risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. In a 2-stage meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in up to 181,171 individuals, we ...

Researchers have used the zebrafish (Danio rerio) to identify the role of a gene involved in cardiac rhythm, which could help explain the fundamentals of what it takes to make a human heartbeat.

Magnetic resonance imaging can now be used to predict the risk for a fast and dangerous heart rhythm known as ventricular arrhythmia. Magnetic resonance imaging can now be used to predict the risk for ...

New research uncovers the regulatory mechanisms of the SK2 channel in heart function, paving the way for potential therapies targeting atrial fibrillation. A recent study by researchers at the ...

Steven Poelzing (left) and Gregory Hoeker, researchers at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, collaborated on a new study published in the journal Heart Rhythm revealing why low blood ...

Less than 1 percent of the population has been diagnosed with Long QT syndrome – a rare heart condition that can cause chaotic, sometimes fatal, heart rhythms. Now, Virginia Tech researchers at the ...

In the normal heart, the lower chambers (ventricles) pump at the same time and in sync with the heart's upper chambers (atria). Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also called biventricular ...
