After severe heart failure, the ability of the heart to heal by forming new cells is very low. However, after receiving treatment with a supportive heart pump, the capacity of a damaged heart to repair itself with new muscle cells becomes significantly higher, even higher than in a healthy heart.

A potentially life-changing heart condition, dilated cardiomyopathy, can be caused by the cumulative influence of hundreds or thousands of genes and not just by a single "aberrant" genetic variant, as was previously thought, finds a new study led by researchers at UCL (University College London), Imperial College London and the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences.

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Right ventricular outflow dysfunction, manifesting as stenosis, regurgitation, or both, is nearly universal in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, precipitating a complex pathophysiological cascade that leads to increasing rates of morbidity and mortality with advancing age. As the number of adolescent and adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot continues to grow as a result of excellent survival during infancy, the need to improve late outcomes has

Smith : This is classic for pulmonary embolism (PE). There are 2 key points to making this diagnosis on the ECG: 1) There is T-wave inversion which you might think is due to Wellens' waves, but the patient has active symptoms, so it is not Wellens' sydrome 2) The T-wave inversion in V1-V4 is accompanied by T-wave invers

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked inherited lysosomal storage disorder. The abnormal accumulation of metabolic substrates induces inflammation and fibrosis in cells, resulting in organ dysfunction. The clinical manifestations of FD are diverse and non-specific. In the present study, we report a case initially treated as obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy for several years, which was finally identified as FD through whole-exome sequencing (WES).
