The Universidad de Valladolid and the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have developed a method for identifying the 3-dimensional features of scar tissue formed after a ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tsukuba have shown how cells in the scar tissue can be converted to heart muscle cells, effectively regenerating the injured heart.

A myocardial infarction, or heart attack, can be a complication of this, resulting from tissue damage or death that affects heart function. Both cause similar symptoms, though ischemia may be ...

A myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, remains one of the leading causes of illness and death worldwide. ... It led to less collagen build-up in the scar tissue, ...
