Investigators evaluate over 45 studies and test themselves in an experiment.

When a person passes out after strenuous physical activity, doctors routinely test for the presence of blood markers indicating that a heart attack or pulmonary embolism has taken place. Investigators...

Electrical signals in the heart are responsible for regulating its pumping action. Investigators from the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) have for the first time succeeded in visualizing these signals in the beating heart. To do so, they use a fluorescent protein...

The DZHK has announced the first two junior scientists who will lead their own independent research groups in the coming years. Dr. Lars Mägdefessel from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm will return to Germany to the DZHK partner site Munich. His research addresses...

The German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) issues its first call for Junior Research Group Leaders.

Young investigators working around the world in the field of cardiovascular research are invited to apply. Your research topic should fit in with the strategy of the...

The safety of new drugs cannot be predicted without the use of animal testing, yet. Researchers at the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) in collaboration with colleagues from Great Britain and the Netherlands want to investigate whether artificial heart tissue can...

Stefan Hell of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2014 for the invention of ultra-high resolution fluorescence microscopy. His method allows researchers to look into the molecular interior of cells and to...

Scientific know-how and skills of external partners are sought after in the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK). Therefore it is now possible for scientists and institutions which are non-members of the DZHK to offer their specific methods or laboratory procedures...

In the future, The German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) will cooperate with the Competence Network for Congenital Heart Defects and the Competence Network on Atrial Fibrillation. Parts of the scientific infrastructures of the two competence networks are planned to be...

When should patients with heart failure receive a cardiac support system? Can a drug against hepatitis B also help patients with inflammatory heart disease? Starting in 2013, scientists of the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) want to conduct clinical trials to...
