Cardiovascular disease remains a leading global health burden, yet many preclinical systems still struggle to predict how candidate drugs will perform in the human heart. Rodent models are limited by ...

An engineer has created a 3D model of the human heart, inspired by his daughter’s heart condition, with the goal of creating a library of virtual hearts for researchers to use whenever they want.

Heart disease remains a primary cause of illness and mortality around the world. While minimally invasive procedures have improved cardiac care, the heart’s complex anatomy and constant motion require ...

A teenager who underwent cardiac surgery has raised money for a charity which creates 3D replica hearts for the NHS. Jasmine, 14, from Southampton was prenatally diagnosed with a condition that meant ...

Researchers from Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) and the Leiden-based biotech company Ncardia have joined forces to develop a new platform that enables the automated production of 3D cardiac ...

Washington State University (WSU) researchers have developed a 3D-printed model of the left side of the heart that contracts and beats, enabling surgeons and medical students to rehearse important ...

Engineers developed a procedure to 3D print a soft and flexible replica of a patient's heart. These models could help doctors tailor treatments, such as aortic valves, to an individual patient. No two ...

Cardiotoxicity is a clinical condition that arises from using pharmaceutical agents such as antibiotics, which result in harmful effects on the heart, ultimately compromising its functional capacity.

Children's cardiac surgery has been revolutionised by the development of 3D-printed models of patients' hearts, a leading consultant has said. Southampton Children's Hospital has created more than 100 ...
