Trainers explain what your heart rate should be when you walk versus run, and how to lower your heart rate when you run so workouts become easier.

In contrast to the heart, skeletal muscle cells form large syncytia, which contain nuclei of several fused cells. How titin moves along the large syncytium and how titins derived from different nuclei ...

Women with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) have greater symptoms and a lower quality of life compared with men; however, the role of noncardiac mechanisms remains poorly resolved.

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a morbidity and mortality risk factor that happens with disuse, chronic disease, and aging. The tissue remodeling that h ...

Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are characteristically limited by symptoms of breathlessness and fatigue, the pathophysiology of which remains unclear. One proposal, the muscle hypothesis, ...
