Despite their declining frequency, autopsies can provide clinically relevant information that physicians find helpful in their treatment of the living.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently awarded Yibing Qyang, PhD, and his colleagues a $2+ million R01 grant to support research to create an artificial blood vessel that can grow, pump, and resist infection and clotting.
A Yale-led study has discovered a new way to potentially treat aortic aneurysms in individuals with Marfan Syndrome.
Research led by Muhammad Riaz, PhD, Jinkyu Park, PhD, and Lorenzo Sewanan, MD, PhD, provides a mechanism to identify abnormalities linked with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
A Yale-led study provides new insights into the molecular and cellular development of supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS).
Yale Cardiovascular Medicine faculty and fellows will present at the virtual American College of Cardiology's 70th Annual Scientific Session.
A Yale-led team of doctors has discovered how aortic aneurysms — bulges that weaken the wall of the biggest blood vessel leading to the heart — form in the human body.
Yale doctors have developed a way to create vascular grafts from stem cells that are as strong as the original blood vessels they would replace.
Yibing Qyang, PhD, has received $2 million in peer-reviewed medical research funding. The project proposes to use hiPSC-derived heart muscle cells to improve the pumping activity of tissue-engineered pulsatile conduits.
Using nanoparticles, Yale researchers have developed a drug-delivery system that could reduce organ transplant complications by hiding the donated tissue from the recipient’s immune system.
Chloe Kiev, an otherwise perfect baby, was born with a troubling trait—a very loud heart murmur. It was so loud, in fact, that when a cardiologist did an echocardiogram he immediately recognized Chloe’s condition, which was later confirmed genetically.
A Yale-led team of researchers has uncovered a genetic malfunction that may lead to hardening of the arteries and other forms of cardiovascular disease. The study appears in the journal Cell Reports.
Yale researchers have been awarded a $320,000 grant from The Kiev Foundation to study new ways to treat Williams Syndrome, a rare, thus far incurable chromosomal disorder that causes cardiovascular and connective tissue problems.
Yale researchers have developed a new technique for producing artificial skin that is likely to improve the reliability of overall skin graft performance, especially in recipients with impaired blood vessel development such as diabetics and the elderly.

According to a Yale study, a key immune factor produced by white blood cells that was thought to prevent hardening of the arteries may actually cause arteriosclerosis, one of the most common contributors to potentially lethal heart disease. An interdepartmental team of surgeons and scientists..
A protein that was previously thought to prevent hardening of the arteries has been shown to actually cause the disease, according to a Yale study.
