A new analysis of the ISCHEMIA trial reveals its results are highly contingent on how myocardial infarction is defined, with investigators reporting a significant treatment difference between the ...

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI) remains a major therapeutic challenge in acute myocardial infarction due to ...

Researchers invented a microfluidic chip containing cardiac cells that is capable of mimicking hypoxic conditions following a heart attack - specifically when an artery is blocked in the heart and ...

Acute myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow is restricted in the heart. This usually leads to cardiovascular issues, but treatments have advanced quite far. However, one thing that still plagues ...

Ischemic heart disease affects more than 18 million Americans, making it the leading cause of death nationwide. This condition occurs when coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked, restricting ...

Ischemic heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States, has long puzzled researchers. While high serum cholesterol levels are linked to cardiovascular risk, the role of dietary fat ...

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a severe complication of peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD occurs when plaque builds up in blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to other areas. CLI ...

Performing open bypass surgery to restore circulation for people with a severe form of peripheral artery disease (PAD) -- a condition that limits blood flow to the legs and feet -- resulted in better ...
