A type of abnormal heart rhythm caused by what is called long QT syndrome-- which is present in roughly one in every 2,500 newborns-- is also linked to stillbirths and sudden infant death syndrome.

Elevated resting heart rate is associated with greater risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. In a 2-stage meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in up to 181,171 individuals, we ...

Washington: Researchers discovered that an artificial intelligence (AI) system can detect an irregular cardiac rhythm in persons who do not yet have symptoms. The system, which discovered hidden ...

A new paper published by Stanford University researchers in the nature Journal confirms the utility of smart watches for identifying arrhythmias in children. Arrhythmia symptoms are frequent ...

Steven Poelzing (left) and Gregory Hoeker, researchers at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, collaborated on a new study published in the journal Heart Rhythm revealing why low blood ...

Researchers have identified a new gene responsible for a rare, inherited form of sudden cardiac arrest, known as Brugada syndrome. Using positional cloning and gene sequencing on an affected family, ...

Apple has launched a new app today that will allow the company to gather irregular heart rhythm data from the Apple Watch’s heart rate sensor. Called the Apple Heart Study app, it will detect ...

Researchers have used the zebrafish (Danio rerio) to identify the role of a gene involved in cardiac rhythm, which could help explain the fundamentals of what it takes to make a human heartbeat.

Magnetic resonance imaging can now be used to predict the risk for a fast and dangerous heart rhythm known as ventricular arrhythmia. Magnetic resonance imaging can now be used to predict the risk for ...

New research uncovers the regulatory mechanisms of the SK2 channel in heart function, paving the way for potential therapies targeting atrial fibrillation. A recent study by researchers at the ...
