The brain and vagus nerve play a key role in exacerbating tissue damage after a heart attack, but there are ways to block it.

When someone suffers a heart attack, their heart is left permanently scarred and thus less capable of pumping blood. According to a new study, however, a protein injection could help undo such damage.

University of California San Diego-led team has discovered that restoring a key cardiac protein called connexin‑43 in a mouse ...

Researchers have developed a new therapy that can be injected intravenously right after a heart attack to promote healing and prevent heart failure. The therapy both prompts the immune system to ...
