Mount Sinai researchers are the first to identify heart abnormalities in World Trade Center workers
Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine are presenting more than 20 ground-breaking studies at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 59th annual scientific session (ACC.10) in Atlanta. view more (2010-03-17)
As Girth Grows, Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death Shrinks
Obesity has long been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and heart failure. But, a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center found that being skinny confers no advantage when it comes to the risk of dying suddenly from cardiac causes. view more (2010-03-17)
Bench to Bassinet Program Seeks Congenital Heart Disease Treatments
To help speed the translation of scientific discoveries into usable treatments in congenital heart disease, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health launched the Bench to Bassinet Program. view more (2010-03-17)
USC researchers identify key mechanism that guides cells to form heart tissue
Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a key cellular mechanism that guides embryonic heart tissue formation-a process which, if disrupted, can lead to a number of common congenital heart defects. view more (2010-03-17)
Imaging fat layer around heart can help predict disease
Imaging epicardial adipose tissue, or the layer of fat around the heart, can provide extra information compared with standard diagnostic techniques such as coronary artery calcium scoring, according to research by cardiologists at Emory University School of Medicine. view more (2010-03-16)
Hybrid revascularization effective for left main coronary blockages
The left main coronary artery provides most of the blood to the heart, and current guidelines call for patients with blockages in this artery to undergo bypass surgery. view more (2010-03-16)
Researchers discover chemical that may protect hearts of muscular dystrophy patients
Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School have discovered a chemical that may, over the long term, protect the hearts of Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients - a fatal and most common form of muscular dystrophy in children. view more (2010-03-16)
UBC-Providence health team identifies a key predictor of cardiovascular death
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) hospitalizes more than 160,000 Canadians every year, and almost one quarter of those patients die from this common form of heart disease. view more (2010-03-16)
UF researcher urges caution in reducing blood pressure in patients with diabetes, coronary disease
For patients with diabetes and heart disease, less isn't always more - at least when it comes to blood pressure. view more (2010-03-15)
Study results leave search for new diabetes and heart disease treatments unresolved
Treatment with the anti-hypertensive drug valsartan (Diovan) led to a modest reduction in the development of type 2 diabetes but did not significantly reduce cardiovascular events in patients with impaired glucose tolerance, according to researchers at Duke University Medical Center and the University of Oxford. view more (2010-03-15)
Was the recent US stock market drop accompanied by more heart attacks? Duke studies relationship
A novel report explores the possible relationship between fluctuations in the stock market and the incidence of local heart attacks. The results were presented at the annual scientific meeting of the American College of Cardiology by a team of researchers from Duke University Medical Center. view more (2010-03-15)
Vitamin D levels have different effects on atherosclerosis in blacks and whites
Vitamin D is quickly becoming the "go-to" remedy for treating a wide range of illnesses, from osteoporosis to atherosclerosis. However, new evidence from a Wake Forest University School of Medicine study suggests that supplementing vitamin D in those with low levels may have different effects based on patient race and, in black... view more...

Oscillations at odds in the heart
Researchers in Germany show that a classical biological oscillator, the glycolytic oscillator, may increase damage to the heart during acute loss of oxygen (anoxia), and as may occur during ischemia. view more (2010-03-15)
Thyroid Hormone Analogue for Treating High Cholesterol
An experimental thyroid drug reduces cholesterol without the troublesome side effects experienced by some people on statins, according to a study published today in The New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2010-03-12)
Research points to way to improve heart treatment
Current drugs used to treat heart failure and arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) have limited effectiveness and have side effects. view more (2010-03-11)
New study questions benefits of elective removal of ovaries during hysterectomy
Removal of the ovaries (bilateral oophorectomy) while performing a hysterectomy is common practice to prevent the subsequent development of ovarian cancer. view more (2010-03-10)
New method to grow arteries could lead to 'biological bypass' for heart disease
A new method of growing arteries could lead to a "biological bypass"-or a non-invasive way to treat coronary artery disease, Yale School of Medicine researchers report with their colleagues in the April issue of Journal of Clinical Investigation. view more (2010-03-09)
Drinking sugar-sweetened beverages daily linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, increased healthcare costs
More Americans now drink sugar-sweetened sodas, sport drinks and fruit drinks daily, and this increase in consumption has led to more diabetes and heart disease over the past decade, researchers reported at the American Heart Association's 50th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention. view more (2010-03-08)
Beta blocker therapy underused in heart failure patients
New Saint Louis University research has found that beta blockers, a class of drugs used to prevent the progression of heart failure and manage arrhythmias (irregular heart beat) and hypertension (high blood pressure), are underused in heart failure patients who receive implantable cardiac devices. view more (2010-03-04)
