Congenital heart defects constitute the most common human birth defect, however understanding of how these disorders originate is limited by our ability to model the human heart accurately in vitro. Here we report a method to generate developmentally rel
An independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) appointed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) monitored study conduct and patient safety. To maximize adherence to the study protocol, an adherence committee reviewed episodes in which HF therapy was not titrated despite ...
The heart is one of the first organs in an embryo to develop, and the first to be functional. In humans, heart beat starts early during the third week of development (postfertilization), to generate a unidirectional blood flow by the end of this week. The heart develops as a specialized...
The protocol was designed by academic investigators at Duke Clinical Research Institute, Yale School of Medicine, and the University of Michigan in collaboration with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. An independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) approved the trial protocol and...
