A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...

A new study reveals that encapsulated heating methods, an often-used heat simulation method, significantly increase heart rates and cardiac strain compared to natural heat exposure like those ...

Lower cardiac output has been tied to poorer cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the temporal lobes of older adults without heart failure, a finding that adds to a growing body of research linking heart ...

The procedure used to treat arrhythmias typically allows for a short recovery time, but precautions are necessary to preserve healthy heart function. Heart ablation creates little scars on heart ...

Heart disease may contribute to changes in sexual function, such as reduced libido, vaginal dryness, or erectile dysfunction. However, sexual activity is safe and healthy for most people with heart ...

New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain – its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat. A better understanding of this system, which ...
