Less than 1 percent of the population has been diagnosed with Long QT syndrome – a rare heart condition that can cause chaotic, sometimes fatal, heart rhythms. Now, Virginia Tech researchers at the ...

In the normal heart, the lower chambers (ventricles) pump at the same time and in sync with the heart's upper chambers (atria). Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also called biventricular ...

If you’re waking up tired even after seven or eight hours of sleep, your heart rate may be falling too far during the night.
