The mevalonate pathway Surprisingly, analysis of the cardiac proteome revealed that proteins in the mevalonate pathway, an essential metabolic pathway, are highly expressed midway through heart ...

NEW ORLEANS, LA—The best way to prepare cardiac surgeons for professional success in the treatment of structural heart disease is with a dedicated, accredited, multidisciplinary fellowship, according ...

The same molecular pathway that is responsible for preventing adult heart cells from regenerating after being damaged - like after a heart attack - has been identified as involved in embryonic ...

Incorporating high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) testing into the traditional HEART pathway may improve detection of acute MI in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest ...

A DZHK research team at the University Medical Center Mainz has discovered a new signaling pathway of the coagulation system that controls scar formation after a heart attack. If this signaling ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown molecular pathway that is critical to understanding cardiac arrhythmia and other heart muscle problems. Understanding the basic science of heart and ...

Compared to a control group of patients, acute heart failure patients in an emergency department's clinical pathway program had a 13.1% lower readmission rate. Enrolling acute heart failure patients ...

Scientists at the UC Davis Health System say they have identified for the first time a biological pathway that is activated when blood sugar levels are abnormally high causing cardiac arrhythmias that ...

A new signaling pathway appears to play a critical role in the development of heart disease, according to researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine. Now that this marker of cardiac ...

Reimbursement policy has been a driver of change in the way hospitals handle heart failure patients. When CMS started penalizing hospitals that readmitted too many patients within 30 days of discharge ...

In many situations, heart muscle cells do not respond to external stresses in the same ways that skeletal muscle cells do. But under some conditions, heart and skeletal muscles can both waste away at ...
