With a mission to support novel approaches to managing and preventing heart failure, the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research uses its Innovation Fund to propel emerging research with great potential. The 2024-25 Innovation Fund Seed Grants are currently open and you...
New study illustrates a novel approach to uncovering genetic causes of congenital heart disease in the “dark genome” using AI
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most commonly occurring birth anomaly. Despite a strong genetic basis, almost 90% of cases remain genetically undiagnosed. However, the surge of new technology is enabling a search for hidden gene defects not detectable on...New study using stem cells highlights myosin inhibitors as targeted treatment for pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of heart failure in children, and there are currently no effective treatments. Could emerging therapies that successfully target the root cause of the condition in adults also work well in children? That was the question Dr....PRIMaCY Risk Calculator Goes Live in EPIC as Part of a First-Time Integration in Canada
For children diagnosed with complex heart conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the diagnosis can be frightening for families and challenging for healthcare providers since the trajectory of the condition is often uncertain. As a leading cause of sudden...Why we must screen early in life for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
