Researchers have developed an AI tool that creates synthetic yet medically accurate models of fibrotic heart tissue (heart scarring), aiding treatment planning for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.

The study, published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, could lead to more personalized care for patients affected by this common heart rhythm disorder. Fibrosis refers to scar tissue that ...

This discovery could lead to new and more targeted therapeutic approaches for heart disease. The findings of what the Weizmann Institute researchers describe as "hot fibrosis" and "cold fibrosis ...

The term cardiac fibrosis is used to describe the excessive expansion of the extracellular matrix (ECM) network that occurs in most pathological forms of heart disease. In conditions including ...

Non-invasive liver fibrosis scoring systems that are both simple and affordable may be able to identify individuals at risk for heart failure (HF), according to study findings published in the Journal ...

What is an aortic dissection? An aortic dissection is a tear (dissection) in the wall of the body’s main artery (aorta). The aorta sends blood from your heart to the rest of your body. A tear causes ...

Noninvasive liver fibrosis scores are associated with increased heart failure risk, with FIB-4, NFS, and APRI showing significant correlations. Higher scores correlate with increased heart failure ...

A patient diagnosed with IgG4-related disease after presenting with liver dysfunction and aortic dissection demonstrated the complexities of IgG4-RD. A patient presented with chronic aortic dissection ...

An aortic dissection is an emergency with your aorta, which is the largest blood vessel in your body and the main artery that takes blood from your heart to the rest of your body. In an aortic ...

When this happens, it's called spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). This is an emergency health situation that can cause a heart attack. So it's very important to get medical care quickly.
