The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recalled three heart devices that could cause serious injury or death.

During high-risk surgeries such as cancer, or spine or hip fractures, most patients would assume their heart would be monitored in the process. A new study reveals that's not usually the case.

Newer models of devices aren't always better. This is especially true when it's a device that will help a weakened heart. Two studies from the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit show that the older model of a commonly implanted heart device is safer.

Ambulances are at times diverted to another emergency department when the closest hospitals are at capacity.  But those diversions may be adding an increased risk of death for heart attack patients.

Study researchers have unveiled a new type of imaging technology capable of diagnosing heart disease by measuring ultrasound signals from molecules that are exposed to a quickly-pulsing laser.

It's long been known that chronic long inflammation was linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A new study indicates there is not only a connection, but a blood protein that acts as "a good predictor."

Much like the rest of the world, the United Kingdom has long grappled with trying to convince citizens to maintain healthier lifestyles in an effort to curb the risk of heart attacks.

It would seem like all hearts are fairly similar, but new research suggests that the size and pumping ability of the right side of the heart varies based on age, gender, race and ethnicity.

Drugs are not the only solution for treating and eliminating diseases. One of the most effective solutions may be to eat a plant-based diet.

Many times heart disease is a surprise to unsuspecting patients -- especially those with no telltale signs such as hypertension, high cholesterol or a previously unidentified genetic condition
