POPSPredicting accurately when a heart attack will occur Thanks to new research by Sharon Zlochiver, a biomedical engineer at Tel Aviv University (TAU), there's hope for potential heart attack victims. Zlochiver can not only predict when a heart attack will occur, but he can also help doctors and patients buy time before a deadly attack takes place. "Seventy percent of the heart is made up of myocytes, which are contractile muscle cells. The remaining 30 percent is mostly rigid structural cells called fibroblasts that work to hold the muscle in place," Zlochiver explained.
