Charité and Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin merge cardiovascular services to create one of the largest cardiac centres in Europe

Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin – Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts (DHZB) are merging their cardiovascular services to form the Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité (DHZC). The DHZC delivers care and undertakes research and teaching on three Charité campuses: Campus Virchow-Klinikum, Campus Charité Mitte and Campus Benjamin Franklin. It is structured around eight […]

Large international study uncovers genes involved in heart disease

Over the past 15 years, more than 200 sites in the human genome have been linked to risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide. Still, researchers don’t fully understand how those genomic variations alter the function of proteins, cells, or tissues to cause illness — knowledge that could inform the […]

Breakthrough study shows anti-ageing gene reverses heart age

An anti-ageing gene discovered in a population of centenarians has been shown to rewind the heart’s biological age by 10 years. The breakthrough, published in Cardiovascular Research and led by scientists at the University of Bristol and the MultiMedica Group in Italy, offers a potential target for patients with heart failure.

Artificial Intelligence improves treatment in women with heart attacks

Heart attacks in women are more likely to be fatal than in men. The reasons are differences in age and in comorbidity burden which makes risk assessment in women a challenge. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now developed a novel artificial-intelligence-based risk score that improves personalized care for female patients with heart attacks.

Care gap: Hospital readmission rate for younger women is higher than for younger men after a heart attack

In a new study [1] of younger heart attack victims in Ontario, Canada, researchers found that the healthcare system delivers high quality care for younger heart attack survivors; however, there are still disparities between men and women. Cardiovascular and all-cause hospital readmission rates are higher in young women than young men. This underscores the need […]

Super-fast MRI scan could revolutionise heart failure diagnosis

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have developed cutting-edge technology to diagnose patients with heart failure in record time. The state-of-the-art technology uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to create detailed 4D flow images of the heart. How-ever, unlike a standard MRI scan, which can take up to 20 minutes or more, the new 4D […]
