Your heart is a muscular organ that helps circulate your blood, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. There are four chambers and four valves in your heart, and each ensures proper ...

Valvular regurgitation is when blood flows backward through the chambers of your heart. It can be mild and not cause symptoms, or it can be life threatening. Your heart is a muscular organ that ...

Severe aortic stenosis is the final stage of aortic stenosis, which is the narrowing of the aortic valve. In severe aortic stenosis, symptoms can impair quality of life. Stenosis refers to a narrowing ...

The simple, constant rhythm of a beating heart is a reassuring sign of life. With each lub-dub, blood brings life-sustaining oxygen throughout the body. But behind this steady beat is a busy ...

Researchers have developed a laser-based device that can measure blood flow noninvasively and differentiate stroke risk based on current physiological conditions. When physicians want to know more ...

Matthew Nystoriak, Ph.D., associate professor of biomedical research and translational medicine at Masonic Medical Research Institute (MMRI), has uncovered groundbreaking insights into heart health in ...

Cutaneous blood flow and microcirculation underpin critical physiological processes including thermoregulation, nutrient delivery and immune defence. The skin’s vascular network, comprising ...

Purdue University Scho o l of Nursing students place their hands into a large, beating human heart, immersing themselves into anatomy rather than simply studying it. “Nursing is very hands-on,” Nagle ...
