MRI can predict risk of cardiac arrhythmia by identification of scar tissue

... arrhythmia. The study is the first to analyze the architecture of the heart for clues about arrhythmias in patients with poor heart function but no arterial disease. While tests are widely available to screen patients with coronary artery disease for risk of sudden cardiac death, tests are not so effective for i...

Proper Treatment of Hypothyroidism Found To Prevent Heart Diseases

...ed to severe clinically significant changes in the architecture of the heart. This included progressive contractile dysfunction, chamber enlargement, and ventricular wall thinning. Furthermore, it was also found to result in reduced blood flow to the heart (myocardial blood flow) due to a compromise in many tin...

Hunt for Chromosomal Errors Which Cause Genetic Diseases

...itions that originate in alterations of chromosome architecture have been called “genomic diseases.” The smallest of these structural defects are microdeletions, a loss of a small amount of genetic material, or microduplications, an excess of genetic material. Individually, many genomic diseases are rare, but c...
