A heart attack cuts off blood flow and oxygen to heart tissue. This can damage muscle and, in severe cases, cause the heart wall to rupture. Surgeons often repair these defects with patches made from ...

A new patch developed by Texas A&M University researcher Dr. Ke Huang may offer a way to help the heart heal after a heart attack. The patch uses a unique microneedle system to deliver a therapeutic ...

Following a heart attack, blood flow to the heart is interrupted and the resulting lack of oxygen can cause heart damage. The heart wall can rupture in severe cases, requiring immediate surgical ...

A research team at MIT has developed a non-invasive alternative that spares patients from open heart surgery. In a study ...

A groundbreaking piece of technology has been hailed as the “holy grail” of treatment for one major health issue, which could ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Millions of people around the world die from heart failure every year. In future, a laboratory-grown heart patch could help with ...

Results from rhesus macaques provide solid ground for a first-in-human investigation of heart repair with stem cell-derived engineered heart muscle. The study is a milestone for the clinical ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Biomedical engineers at Duke University have created a fully functioning artificial human heart muscle large enough to patch over damage typically seen in patients who have suffered a ...

Bioengineers from Trinity have developed a prototype patch that does the same job as crucial aspects of heart tissue. Their patch withstands the mechanical demands and mimics the electrical signalling ...
