Diagnosing Heartburn
Gastroenterologists are
using confocal laser
endomicroscopy (CLE) to more
effectively diagnose chronic
heartburn. The technology
gives doctors an image of
the esophagus that is
magnified 1,000 times. A

Surviving Heart Failure
Inflammations that occur
after a heart attack can be
a severe complication that
further damages the heart.
Cardiologists are now trying
a new approach called immune
modulation therapy, which
