A study of over 96,000 UK men and women, of average age 64.5 years, has found that those with chronic conditions are spending considerably less time on physical activity than their healthy peers, so are missing out on its health management benefits.
Researchers in the Radcliffe Department of Medicine identify a faulty molecular brake that interferes with heart muscle\u2019s ability to contract and relax

The Mexican tetra fish can repair its heart after damage. The Mommersteeg Group's paper \"Heart regeneration in the Mexican cavefish\" suggests that a particular gene may hold the key to this inherent ability. If they can lock down exactly how this works, it may be possible to revolutionise how we heal damaged human hearts.
Smoking, diabetes and high blood pressure increase the risk of a heart attack more in women than in men, new research from The George Institute for Global Health at the University of Oxford has found.
