Unprecedented glimpse of what happens to the heart during a heart attack

A team of researchers at the University of Florence in Italy and the University of Connecticut Health Center have used a multidisciplinary approach to provide an unprecedented glimpse of what happens to the heart during an "infarction" -- a heart attack -- by looking at how the attack affects electrical activity and calcium release in heart cells."Thanks to this method, we found electrical abnormalities and non-homogenous calcium release across failing cells," explained Claudia Crocini, who presented the research at the 58th Annual Biophysical Society Meeting.
