While overall major cardiac events showed no big change, […]
A simple saliva test detects heart failure early by measuring biomarkers like S100A7 and Galectin-3, which double in patients compared to healthy people. Using a non-invasive biosensor with microfluidic channels, screen-printed electrodes, and a portable reader, it delivers results in 15 minutes from one drop—no blood, no lab. It spots systolic and acute heart failure […]
