The University of Akron's BETA Lab received a grant from the American Heart Association to help develop new, less invasive ...

Mechanisms of heart-valve disease often mimic processes observed in embryonic and early childhood development, including activation of valvular interstitial cell (VIC) phenotypes and remodeling of ...

Researchers from the University of Basel in Switzerland have identified a key regulator gene for the formation of cardiac valves - a process crucial to normal embryonic heart development. These ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart defect where the aortic valve has two leaflets (cusps) instead of ...

Researchers have now proposed a molecular mechanism that links amyloid deposition in the aortic valve with degenerative calcification. They also theorize that other risk factors for CAVD, such as high ...

Fraunhofer IOF, startup NovaPump, and Jena University Hospital’s “pump cage” is cut out of a thin metal tube by laser. On the occasion of World Heart Day on September 29, the team reviewed the history ...

Using a combination for spatial, single-cell transcriptomics and imaging data from 36 hearts, scientists from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and their collaborators have come up with what they ...

A bicuspid aortic valve may present few problems throughout your life. But you’ll still need to live a heart-healthy lifestyle and monitor your cardiovascular system to prevent complications. The ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart defect where the aortic valve has two leaflets (cusps) instead of the usual three, resulting in abnormal blood flow and development of aortic ...
