Pumps Someday May Allow Patients to Recover Their Own Hearts
... very different diagnoses,” Sun says. The pumps’ functions also differ, depending on patient need. Some provide volume displacement, meaning they squeeze blood out of the heart chambers; others operate on a high-speed rotor to provide a continuous flow of blood. The latest generation of VADs operate with mag...Hypercholesterolemia Meets Its Match in an Experimental Drug
...ife span of patients, researchers said. The drug functions by blocking blood fats in the liver. But the flip side to this drug is, that it could cause the liver to store up fat, which could trigger scarring and cirrhosis. The magnitude of risk may actually be slight in patients who portray a very high level ...Intervention Can Cut Job Stress While Protecting the Heart
..., the ANS adjusts and modifies the internal bodily functions in response to stress. Researchers evaluated the ANS by using a single lead electrocardiogram (ECG).
