New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain – its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat. Watch for more details!

Study Reveals Heart Possesses Its Own Nervous System

A few years ago, biomedical scientist Jonathan Tsui flew to Florida with unique baggage. He toted compact chambers—smaller than a cell phone—containing 48 bits of human heart tissue. Tsui brought the samples to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, where in March 2020 they were loaded onto a SpaceX craft and sent to the International Space Station for a month. The goal? To study the effects of low gravity conditions on the human heart in preparation for long-term space travel.

Study: Microgravity Leads to Irregular Heartbeats in Space

A recent study conducted in Shanghai suggested that consuming two litres of diet soda or other artificially sweetened beverages per day could heighten the risk of experiencing a dangerous irregular heartbeat by 20 per cent, in comparison to individuals who abstain from such drinks entirely.

Q: My smartwatch shows me that my sleeping heart rate is much higher at night after I've had a couple of glasses of wine. It's normally around 60 beats per minute, but it spikes up to 80 to 100 if I drink more than a glass of wine.

Can drinking alcohol raise your heart rate?

Humans have been on Earth for just a fraction of its existence. The planet has a life, mind and nature or its own, so to speak. A lot keeps on happening without human even being aware of it, let alone having power to control it.

Earth has a 'heartbeat' and nobody knows what causes it
