A disorder of the heart muscle. In this condition, the wall of the heart weakens, thickens or stiffens. The heart normally circulates blood around the body without pumping tears leading to a lack of ...

The new, investigational heart medication mavacamten may improve key structural abnormalities of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition characterized by thickened heart muscle that ...

Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and ...

The human heart is a muscle, but it’s also a kind of complicated balloon—a balloon that fills and empties roughly 60 to 100 times every minute, and several billion times during the course of a ...

Broken heart syndrome is a common name for stress-induced cardiomyopathy, or takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a disease that affects the heart’s muscle tissue. In 1990, Japanese researchers named the ...

Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a life threatening genetic heart condition that causes problems with the muscle tissue around your heart’s right ventricle. Arrhythmogenic right ...

COVID-19 exacerbated adverse outcomes in peripartum cardiomyopathy, increasing myocardial infarction, intensive care unit admissions, and mortality rates. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients ...
