The program focuses on critical thinking, skills training and vibrant research opportunities. Learn more about the program New Clues Found to Help Protect Heart From Damage After Heart Attack Scientists at the School of Medicine have found a way to spur heart immune cells called macrophages to promote healing after a heart attack or other cardiac injury. Such a strategy could help prevent the usual inflammation that follows a heart attack and is a common driver of heart failure. Safety-net Hospitals Fare Better Under New Medicare Reimbursement Rules Karen Joynt Maddox, MD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, led a study showing that new Medicare reimbursement rules reduce financial penalties for safety-net hospitals. The change shifts some of the financial burden away from hospitals that care for the most vulnerable patients Effects of High-fat, High-sugar Diet on Heart Passed Down Three Generations A new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis shows that cardiac mitochondria are abnormal in the offspring of mouse mothers that become obese due to a high-fat, high sugar diet. Those offspring then pass on the mitochondrial defects at least two more generations. Is Intermittent Fasting the Cure for Diabetes? Three men with Type 2 diabetes used "intermittent fasting" to reverse their dependence on insulin, according to a published report -- but you shouldn't try it without medical supervision, experts say. Lowering hospitals’ Medicare costs proves difficult A payment system that provides financial incentives for hospitals that reduce health-care costs for Medicare patients did not lower costs as intended, according to a new study led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Scientists ID source of damaging inflammation after heart attack In this image of heart tissue, a single cardiac B cell lymphocyte is visible (blue surrounded by bright red). This type of immune cell triggers damaging inflammation after a heart attack, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Their study also shows that the drug pirfenidone reduces this inflammatory response to injury and protects the heart from progressive damage. Cardiovascular DivisionJohn T.
