The way the body responds to standing up can impact health in older age, surprising new research has found. The team discovered that about one-third of people experience a significant drop in cardiovascular output, or […]
A team of Emory researchers recently found scientific evidence that the well-known health risks of extreme heat can have especially severe consequences for patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. They made their discovery by correlating the […]
More babies and children survive the wait for a heart transplant than in the past, but improvements are due to better medical care, not changes to waitlist rules, a new study finds. The method used […]
