Heart failure & cardiac model development
Heart failure & cardiac model development Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s demands. This decline in contractile function is caused by a variety of conditions but mainly following myocardial infarction, when blood flow to the heart is reduced. ECG, Blood pressure and Blood flow investigation The investigation […]
Arrhythmia
Arrhythmia Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart beats with an irregular rhythm, due to a change in the electrical impulses to the heart. These changes affect the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively, leading to other organs (i.e. lungs) becoming damaged. Arrhythmia, also known as Heart arrhythmia, dysrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, can be categorized […]
Pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition characterized by elevated blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, often leading to heart failure if left untreated. Preclinical research on PH involves various approaches to understand its pathophysiology and develop potential treatments. Animal models, particularly rodents and larger mammals, are commonly used to mimic PH […]
