New research reveals that type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease, it physically reshapes the heart ...

Type 2 diabetes physically alters heart muscle, energy use and structure, a human heart study finds, explaining why people ...

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have identified a new mechanism in which adhesive structures within the cells of the heart sense stiffness through muscle contractions and resting ...

Researchers were able to control heart muscle function in a new way after discovering the previously unknown role of two enzymes in heart muscle contraction. Although in the early stages, the research ...

Diabetes doesn’t just coexist with heart disease - it actively reshapes the heart’s machinery and the way it makes energy.

After a heart attack, heart cells lose sensitivity. According to recent discoveries from Queen Mary University of London, this means that heart cells lose their ability to effectively sense stiffness ...

Energy drinks may cause serious increases in heart contraction rates within an hour of drinking the beverage, according to new research presented at a medical conference Monday. The authors are ...

Figure 1: β-adrenergic and muscarinic chronotropic and inotropic effects. Figure 2: Regulation of I Ca by ISO and CCh in WT and NOS3-KO mouse ventricular myocytes. Figure 3: RT–PCR analysis of NOS ...

Since early in the pandemic, COVID-19 has been associated with heart problems, including reduced ability to pump blood and abnormal heart rhythms. But it's been an open question whether these problems ...

The lead researcher behind a high-profile paper showing energy drinks increase heart contraction rates has rejected claims by Monster Beverage Corp that the paper is ‘alarmist’ and stressed that ...

IT is well established that an increase in the intracellular concentration of ionized calcium after excitation in the membrane is the key factor for initiation of contraction of various types of ...
