Preclinical studies show that engineered heart muscle (EHM) can remuscularize damaged heart tissue, but most evidence comes from small-animal studies, which have limited ability to predict ...

Those with higher amounts of fat stored in their muscles were more likely to have coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), a condition that affects the small blood vessels in the heart. They were ...

Empa researchers are working on artificial muscles that can keep up with the real thing. They have now developed a method of ...

The doctor became a patient after ignoring his own heart attack symptoms. He's urging others not to make the same mistake.

Artificial muscles can replace servomotors, for example, or be used in medicine. However, production is not easy.

A study has revealed that individuals with hidden pockets of fat in their muscles, similar to the 'marbling' seen in beef, are at a higher risk of dying from heart attacks or heart failure ...

Indeed, previous research suggests that poor blood flow regulation in leg muscle may show up before similar changes in the heart, and could even explain symptoms like fatigue or difficulty exercising.

Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering have found that studying blood flow in leg muscles may help detect cardiovascular disease earlier than standardized tests ...

The results have been published in the journal Circulation. The protein S100A1 is produced in the heart muscle cells and an important controller of cardiac function: it regulates the pumping ...

This four-wheeled Canadian creation lives in relative obscurity, despite it being the most powerful true, classic muscle car that Canada ever created - albeit with a helping hand from General Motors.

Handgrip strength and appendicular skeletal muscle index showed no significant ... findings to other ethnic groups and to patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction was uncertain.
