A team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has found a way to improve healing and reduce inflammation after a heart attack using mouse models.

Because the number of hospital visits and deaths related to consuming energy drinks has increased in recent years, researchers looked at how they affect the heart and blood pressure—and the findings may make physicians think differently.

From 1998 through 2013, the standardized incidence of infective endocarditis in New York and California remained stable between 7.6 and 7.8 cases per 100,000 persons each year, according to a retrospective database analysis.

The American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) released updated evidence-based guidelines for managing ischemic mitral regurgitation.

Azithromycin, an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections has been associated with disrupting the heart’s normal rhythm, but a new study has debunked that theory, showing that the drug doesn’t cause ventricular arrhythmias.

A recent survey from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) found that 77.5 percent of cardiac surgeons were involved in TAVR procedures as part of multidisciplinary heart teams.

A new study by researchers at the Technical University of Munich in Germany clarifies the relationship between levels of zinc and its effect on cardiac function.

New research from the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) has found that by examining the health of peripheral arteries, providers could better predict the risk of patients developing ischemic cardiovascular disease.
