Thousands of pediatric patients in the United States are diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF) secondary to acquired or congenital heart disease. Symptoms of CHF include left-side heart ...

Researchers have developed a laser-based device that can measure blood flow noninvasively and differentiate stroke risk based on current physiological conditions. When physicians want to know more ...

A novel, minimally invasive method of determining whether fatty deposits in a coronary artery are restricting blood flow to a patient's heart performed similarly to the standard, more-invasive ...

Risk assessment Researchers from Caltech and the Keck School of Medicine at USC have created a portable laser-based headset that can estimate stroke risk. Caltech postdoctoral scholar Simon Mahler is ...

A new study suggests that dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain. Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive, disrupting circulation ...

Dementia has long been framed as a slow, irreversible loss of neurons, but a new line of research is shifting attention to the blood vessels that feed the brain. Scientists are now testing whether ...

Stent placement is a common procedure to treat a brain aneurysm. It diverts blood flow to avoid extra pressure on the aneurysm that may cause it to burst. A brain aneurysm develops when there is a ...
