Welcome to the Cardiac Module! Learn here how the heart is the most important muscle, what happens during a heart attack and how regenerative medicine researchers want to help the heart heal faster.
The word cardiac refers to anything that relates to the heart, such as the arteries and blood vessels that carry blood.
Our Heart, often associated with strong emotions such as love and affection, has a very important biological function within our body. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout our bodies, which allows our other organs to function properly.
Biology of the heart - What is the function of the heart? What does it do?
Heart injury - How can the heart become damaged? What factors can contribute to this?
Modern Medicine for the heart - How can scientists use modern medicine to heal damaged hearts?
Regenerative medicine for the heart - How can regenerative medicine heal damaged hearts even more effectively than modern medicine?
