High environmental heat and physical exertion combine to limit oxygen delivery to the heart muscle, raising ischemic risks in ...

Cardiovascular flow imaging and analysis encompasses a suite of non-invasive modalities and computational approaches designed to characterise blood motion and haemodynamic forces within the heart and ...

Researchers have uncovered how fluctuations in blood flow that occur when there is a narrowing in the arteries contribute to harmful inflammation and blood clot formation, revealing the critical role ...

The effects of temporary mechanical circulatory support with a microaxial flow pump on mortality among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock ...

Accurately measuring blood flow is critical to the fundamental understanding of cardiovascular disease and clinical decision making. Although researchers have made great strides in computational and ...

A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart that reproduces the complex movements and ...

Myocardial ischemia, also called cardiac ischemia, is a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the heart. A common cause is plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. Myocardial ischemia may ...
