COVID-19 vaccination associated with reduction in hospitalizations and mortality among heart failure patients

Heart failure patients who are unvaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, are three times more likely to die if infected with the virus compared to fully boosted heart failure patients, according to new research out of Mount Sinai Heart.

Liquid biopsy could better predict immunotherapy response in lung cancer patients than tumor biopsy

Mount Sinai researchers have validated for the first time that a simple blood test called a liquid biopsy could be a better predictor of whether cancer immunotherapy will be successful for a patient with lung cancer than an invasive tumor biopsy procedure.

Stem cell model could provide insights into biological mechanisms that underlie neuropsychiatric disorders

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have applied a novel stem cell model to map disease risk variants in human neurons, which could help provide insights into the biological mechanisms that underlie neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.

Study highlights the need for liver cirrhosis patients to be educated on hepatic venous pressure gradient

Just like the hypertension that people develop when their blood pressure increases, the increase of blood pressure in the main vein that supplies blood to the liver, called the portal vein, is also a dangerous situation.

A multi-pronged effort needed to ensure all patients with obesity get better care

When a person with diabetes, high blood pressure, or osteoarthritis goes to their primary care clinic, they expect treatment that's grounded in modern medical evidence.

Got long covid? Medical expertise is vital, and seniors should prepare to go slow

Older adults who have survived covid-19 are more likely than younger patients to have persistent symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness, muscle aches, heart palpitations, headaches, joint pain, and difficulty with memory and concentration — problems linked to long covid.

Study shows how stress has a major impact on the immune system's ability to fight infections

Acute stress can be detrimental to fighting off infection, especially COVID-19, and increases the chance of dying in mouse models.

Scientists identify core factors that may put Long QT patients at higher risk of sudden cardiac death

Less than 1 percent of the population has been diagnosed with Long QT syndrome – a rare heart condition that can cause chaotic, sometimes fatal, heart rhythms.

Northwestern University scientists unveil a smart, bioresorbable transient pacemaker

Last summer, Northwestern University scientists introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker — a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it's no longer needed.

AI model can accurately identify patients at high risk of undiagnosed structural heart disease

A team of clinicians and scientists from Tempus and Geisinger have found that a new artificial intelligence model can accurately identify patients at increased risk of undiagnosed structural heart disease.

Study unveils the novel driver of cardiomyocyte loss

Researchers from the group of Eva van Rooij used advanced sequencing technology to better understand the heart disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, in which heart muscle tissue is replaced by fat cells. Using explanted human hearts, they found regions in which heart muscle was actively degenerated and identified a new gene, ZBTB11, that drives heart muscle cell degradation. The results were published in Cardiovascular Research on 17 May 2022.
