Adults with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who took a "polypill" combining medications prescribed for the treatment of heart failure, had improved heart function and symptoms, ...

The human heart can lose up to one-third of its cardiomyocyte (heart muscle cells) following a severe heart attack, but a new study found that the heart can regrow these cells following ischemia.

Among patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), those taking a “polypill” combination of three medications typically prescribed for heart failure, once daily for six months, ...
