A new report suggests that millions of U.S. adults are unaware they may have undiagnosed cardiovascular risk factors that ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

In two large studies of heart attack survivors, beta-blocker drugs benefited those with mildly impaired heart function Contradictory trial results seen in patients without heart dysfunction More data ...

Your heart might be functioning as if it’s decades older than your chronological age, particularly if you carry excess weight or live with chronic health conditions. The concept of “functional heart ...

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, but doctors say many people don't recognize the early warning signs until a major event happens.
