Plenty plenty of research has shown sitting down at work can present health problems. But a recent study from a team in Canada examined how prolonged standing at work can impact one’s risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD)—and the results were surprising. Those who stand are at a much greater risk for CVD.

Funding for cardiac arrest (CA) research lags far behind other leading causes of death in the United States, according to research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

A new clinical trial is underway to test a closed-chest procedure designed to treat patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

NASA’s Human Research Program is studying the effects of solar storms and their accompanying radiation on astronauts’ bodies as they travel to Mars. High-energy galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease among other negative health outcomes, according to a NASA research physicist.

A new scoring system aims to predict the risk for major bleeding in patients following transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke.

A University of Leeds researcher won the British Heart Foundation’s 2017 photo contest with an image of a red blood cell that looked like a cartoon heart.

A Peshtigo, Wisconsin, resident was working on a fireplace when he dropped his nail gun. It then fired a 3.5-inch framing nail directly into his torso—missing his aorta by a millimeter.

Patients receiving off-label transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are more likely to suffer adverse outcomes than other TAVR patients, according to new research. However, risk-adjusted mortality is similar between the two groups at one year post-procedure.
