Is coronary revascularization the best treatment option for heart failure?
August 15, 2006The prevalence of heart failure is increasing in Western society and represents an important public health problem. Deciding whether surgical (revascularization) or nonsurgical treatment of heart failure would be better, in terms of risks versus benefits, is difficult. Using data from the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcomes Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease (APPROACH), Tsuyuki and associates compare survival outcomes among patients with heart failure treated medically and those who underwent coronary revascularization. In a related commentary, Senior notes the limitations of retrospective, observational studies and the ongoing uncertainty about the safety and benefits of revascularization in patients with heart failure and coronary artery disease.

Coronary Revascularization Current Events and Coronary Revascularization News RSSNew appropriate use criteria guide treatment of patients with heart blockage
If you're committed to fitness, the decision to climb a couple of flights of stairs rather than take the elevator is clear. But if you develop chest pain on the way up, deciding how to treat the symptoms of clogged arteries in your heart is much more complicated.
Sexual dissatisfaction in postmenopausal women not linked to cardiovascular disease
Although sexual dysfunction in some men is predictive of cardiovascular disease, this association has never been examined in women.
Automated External Defibrillators and CPR Are Equally Helpful for Sudden Cardiac Arrest in the Home
The first study to explore the use of automated external defibrillator (AEDs) in the home has found that although the safe and easy-to-use devices are effective for certain types of cardiac arrest, they were underused.
Decreased sexual satisfaction is not associated with cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and Boston Medical Center (BMC) and collaborators nationwide have found that decreased sexual satisfaction in postmenopausal women, is not clearly associated with cardiovascular disease.
Antioxidants show no clear benefit against cardiovascular events, death in high-risk women
Vitamins C and E and beta carotene, either individually or in combination, do not appear to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events or death among women at high risk for heart disease.
Novel anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent shows effectiveness on key endpoints in trial
Heart attacks are caused by a build-up and instability of plaque in the coronary arteries, which is often a result of chronic inflammation of the blood vessel walls.
New cardiovascular risk prediction models developed for women
Researchers have developed a more accurate way to predict the risk of developing cardiovascular disease among women.
New research explores limits of non-invasive coronary imaging tests
If multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) shows that a patient has plaque build-up in the artery walls, does it also mean that there is actual reduced blood flow in the artery\\\
Diabetes drug may reduce cardiovascular risks
A drug commonly used to increase the body's sensitivity to insulin may slow the progression of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
High levels of lipoprotein(a) in women associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events
Women with extremely high levels of lipoprotein(a), particularly those with high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, have an increased risk for cardiovascular events.

Angiogenesis and Direct Myocardial Revascularization (Contemporary Cardiology) by Roger J. Laham (Editor), Donald S. Baim (Editor) An interdisciplinary panel of pioneers and opinion leaders review the basic, preclinical, clinical, and developmental pathways to new treatment strategies, such as therapeutic angiogenesis and myogenesis. The authors take advantage of new biological understanding, novel therapeutic targets, multiple available and well-studied therapeutic strategies, and the necessary imaging techniques to measure outcomes. Their in-depth discussions cover the identification of new therapeutic targets and pathways, the investigation of transcriptional factors, master switch molecules, cell-based approaches, chemokines, a better understanding of the effects of aging, endothelial dysfunction, and hypercholesterolemia in response to angiogenic stimuli. Highlights include examination of drug delivery problems,... |

Beating Heart Coronary Artery Surgery by Marco Ricci (Author), Hratch L. Karamanoukian (Author), Giuseppe D'Ancona (Author), Jacob Bergsland (Author), Tomas A. Salerno (Editor) Beating Heart Coronary Artery Surgery provides a fresh and updated view of this growing field, with state-of-the-art procedures and surgical results presented by surgeons well-known nationally and internationally for their contributions to this technique. Originally introduced several decades ago, myocardial revascularization on the beating heart was largely abandoned as new techniques for extracorporeal circulation were developed. While the popularity of coronary surgery on the arrested heart remained undisputed for decades, a belief in the benefits of avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass and electromechanical arrest had sustained interest in techniques for surgery on the beating heart. Combined with the refinement of techniques of coronary exposure and myocardial stabilization,... |
