What is cardiac arrest and how can we help patients recover? Research at the Myocardial Biology & Heart Failure Laboratory at Maine Medical Center Research Institute focuses on how the heart is repaired after injury. In this video, research fellow Sarah Peterson and University of Maine graduate student Emily Cooper describe a collaborative project with the Neurocritical Care Department to determine if high levels of a protein called Neuregulin correlate with improved survival after cardiac arrest.
