In focus

Old hearts provide new knowledge

Explanted hearts that have been replaced by new are not going to waste at the Institute for Experimental Medical Research (IEMR) in Oslo. By studying them, before and after the transplant, scientists hope to improve prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of heart failure.
