Researchers gain detailed insight into failing heart cells using new nano-technique

Researchers look at how heart failure affects the surface of an individual heart muscle cell in minute detail - News Release

Researchers have been able to see how heart failure affects the surface of an individual heart muscle cell in minute detail, using a new nanoscale scanning technique developed at Imperial College London. The findings may lead to better design of beta-blockers, the drugs that can slow the development of heart failure, and to improvements in current therapeutic approaches to treating heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms.
