Patients with Multiple Artery Blockages Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Fare Better, Live Longer than Those Who Opt for Stenting

Heart attack on a chip: scientists model conditions of ischemia on a microfluidic device
Researchers invented a microfluidic chip containing cardiac cells that is capable of mimicking hypoxic and other conditions following a heart attack. The chip can be used to monitor electrophysiological and molecular response of the cells to heart attack conditions in real time.
