CARDIOSWITCH aims to uncover how the mechanical activity of heart muscle cells shapes cardiac biology and to develop new regenerative strategies for congenital heart disease

The findings, published in Cardiovascular Research, show that the right ventricle has greater metabolic resilience than the left during cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation.

The initiative will combine innovative medical and digital technologies to improve the early detection of cardiac risk and complications in cancer patients and survivors 

The study, published in Circulation Research, identifies cardiac fibroblasts and resident macrophages as essential contributors to the characteristic electrical activity that maintains this arrhythmia

The study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, shows that beta-blockers do not reduce mortality, recurrent infarction, or heart failure in post-infarction patients with normal cardiac function

The results, published in the European Heart Journal and presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress, opens the way to new therapies for patients with genetic heart diseases

Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), together with cardiologists from Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro and the Spanish cardiovascular disease research network (CIBERCV), report that the new discovery makes it possible to identify high-risk patients early and refer them sooner to specialized heart failure units
