These variants represent just two branches on an enormous tree of the virus’ genetic diversity. As the virus transmits from person to […]

The study, published in Circulation, used electrical signals from the heart—measured from […]
An open-source platform, OpenEP co-developed by researchers from the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King’s College London has been made available to advance research on atrial fibrillation, a condition characterized by an irregular and often fast heartbeat. It can cause significant symptoms such as breathlessness, palpitations and fatigue, as well as being […]
