Our hearts are primarily controlled by the brain and autonomic nervous system, but we also have a backup. The heart has its own mini-brain called the intracardiac nervous system (ICN), which fine ...

The research team from Thomas Jefferson University has completed the first 3D map of neurons in the human heart. The group says that the information reveals foundational insight into the role of ...

In experiments with dogs, Johns Hopkins researchers successfully used a 3D map of the heart and sensor-guided catheter to perform cardiac ablation, a mainstay treatment that stops abnormally fast and ...

Traditional methods to treat cardiac arrhythmias typically see cardiologists inserting a catheter into the heart to measure electrical impulses and determine where in the tissue the abnormal rhythm is ...

Cape Town - A cardiologist has shown that it is possible to correct heart rhythm abnormalities in pregnant women without using medication or X-rays, after he performed a successful cardiac ablation on ...

Chinese scientists have reportedly developed a new technique that makes organs transparent while also preserving their structure. The technique, it is claimed, could be used to make highly accurate ...

Even cardiologists might not know — or pay attention to — the intracardiac nervous system. This “little brain of the heart” is a system of nerves working in concert with the brain itself to keep ...

A major cardiovascular risk factor is thickening of the heart walls (hypertrophy), which can result from high blood pressure—but is also linked to inherited diseases of the heart which can lead to ...

Dr. SchwaberThomas Jefferson UniversityNews-Medical spoke to Dr. Vadigepalli and Dr. Schwaber about their groundbreaking research in which they managed to map the neurons in the heart. We have been ...

A new way of treating arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF) - the most common heart arrhythmia diagnosis in clinical practice - has debuted at UC San Diego Health. vMap is a non-invasive, ...
