BALTIMORE, May 11 (UPI) --A 3D heart assessment, based on imaging of individual patients, was shown to be more accurate at predicting heart arrhythmia and sudden cardiac arrest than other standard ...

To address this question, an interdisciplinary Johns Hopkins University team has developed a non-invasive, 3-D virtual heart assessment tool to help doctors determine whether a particular patient ...

"Our virtual heart test significantly outperformed several existing clinical metrics in predicting future arrhythmic events," said Natalia Trayanova, the university's inaugural Murray B. Sachs ...

Washington: Scientists have developed a new non-invasive, personalised 3D virtual heart assessment tool to help doctors determine whether a patient faces a risk of life-threatening arrhythmia. When ...

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women. Over 700,000 Americans experience a heart attack every year. You may already be taking steps to reduce your risk, but how do you know ...

It can be quite a challenge to deal with coronary artery disease or CAD. It happens when plaque builds up in the walls of arteries that supply the heart. These can narrow and cause chest pain (angina) ...

A NEW Heart Assessment Centre has opened at University Hospital Aintree to fast-track care of heart patients. Patients with chest pain will be identified in A&E and transferred directly to the Heart ...

A research team has developed a non-invasive 3-D virtual heart to help doctors determine who faces the highest risk of a life-threatening arrhythmia and would benefit from a defibrillator implant.

When electrical waves in the heart run amok in a condition called arrhythmia, sudden death can occur. To save the life of a patient at risk, doctors currently implant a small defibrillator to sense ...

Washington: A new non-invasive, personalised 3D virtual heart assessment tool is the new discovery to help doctors determine if a patient faces a risk of life-threatening arrhythmia. "Our virtual ...
