Researchers grew a mini human heart to study fetal heart development

[ad_1] They’re now using the method to model and study congenital heart disease. While they’re still perfecting the process, the researchers believe these human heart organoids could be used to study other cardiovascular conditions, like chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and the effects of diabetes on the developing fetal heart. “These minihearts constitute incredibly powerful models in which […]

AI can gauge the risk of dying from heart conditions

[ad_1] The approach is based on the notion that greater variability between heartbeats reflects greater risk.
