Papillary muscle scarring (papSCAR) is prevalent in one-third of DCM patients and predicts cardiac death independently. The FIDDLE technique significantly improves papSCAR detection sensitivity ...

First-of-its-kind study by NHCS researchers shows adverse association between heart muscle scarring (also known as myocardial fibrosis) and patients with hypertension, detected non-invasively using ...

Papillary muscle scarring in DCM patients is associated with higher risks of cardiac death, heart failure, and arrhythmia events. Microvascular dysfunction is a strong predictor of poor prognosis, ...

Northwestern Medicine researchers are looking at how newborns' newly developed immune systems can regenerate cardiac tissue. They say understanding the mechanism in infants could lead to tissue repair ...

A recent study conducted by the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) discovered that myocardial fibrosis is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with hypertension. Myocardial ...

Unlike humans, zebrafish can completely regenerate their hearts after injury. They owe this ability to the interaction between their nervous and immune systems, as researchers now report. Unlike ...
