An angry heart can lead to sudden death, Yale researchers find
Before flying off the handle the next time someone cuts you off in traffic, consider the latest research from Yale School of Medicine researchers that links changes brought on by anger or other strong emotions to future arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrests, which are blamed for 400,000 deaths annually. view more (2009-02-25)
ESC Congress 2003: ACC/AHA/ESC Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Supraventricular Tachycardias
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a presentation given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology view more (2003-09-03)
Studies point to novel target for treating arrhythmias
Abnormal heart rhythms - arrhythmias - are killers. They strike without warning, causing sudden cardiac death, which accounts for about 10 percent of all deaths in the United States. view more (2009-01-22)
Charcoal-a Low-cost Option To Treat Oleander Poisoning (p 1935)
Research from Sri Lanka in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how repeated doses of charcoal could reduce deaths from oleander-seed poisoning by up to 70%. The authors of the study suggest that charcoal could also be effective in treating poisoning from drugs used in Western populations with similar effects to oleander-seed poisoning, such... view more...

Sports-related sudden cardiac death is reduced by pre-participation cardiovascular screening
Young competitive athletes are perceived by the general population to be the healthiest members of society. The possibility that highly trained athletes may have a potentially serious cardiac condition that can predispose to life-threatening tachyarrhythmias or sudden cardiac death seems paradoxical. view more (2008-09-02)
Targeted drug therapy prevents exercise-induced arrhythmias
A 12-year-old Dutch boy - bedridden for three years because of an inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndrome - can now join his friends on the soccer field thanks to a discovery made by Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers. view more (2009-03-30)
Older men with breathing problems during sleep more likely to have irregular heartbeats
Increasingly severe sleep-related breathing disorders in older men appear to be associated with a greater risk of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). view more (2009-06-23)
New genetic link between cardiac arrhythmias and thyroid dysfunction identified
Genes previously known to be essential to the coordinated, rhythmic electrical activity of cardiac muscle -- a healthy heartbeat -- have now also been found to play a key role in thyroid hormone (TH) biosynthesis, according to Weill Cornell Medical College researchers. view more (2009-09-21)
Bad Teeth May Signal Risk for Heart Attack
Elderly persons with active root caries, a type of tooth decay, have an increased risk of having irregular heart beats. This study is published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. view more (2005-05-19)
Atrial fibrillation in endurance athletes still poses problems for sports cardiologists
The fulfilment which so many people increasingly derive from competitive sports and endurance training comes with a real - even if rare - twist. view more (2009-06-22)
Researchers find current drug can treat rare heart disorder
New research has found that the answer to treating a rare inherited heart disorder could lie with a drug already on the market. view more (2009-04-02)
Patients with severe sleep-disordered breathing have high odds of abnormal heart rhythms
Patients with severe sleep-disordered breathing are two to four times more likely to experience complex, abnormal heart rhythms while sleeping than individuals without the problem, according to the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS). view more (2006-04-14)
Enzyme doesn't act alone in atrial fibrillation
An overactive enzyme is behind a leaky calcium channel that plays a role in the development of atrial fibrillation, which is the most common cardiac arrhythmia that is responsible for a third of all strokes. view more (2009-06-18)
Heart rhythm genes possible factors in SIDS
Nearly 10 percent of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) victims have mutations or variations in genes associated with potentially lethal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), according to two newly published studies involving Vanderbilt researchers. view more (2007-01-16)
Expert consensus on catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias
A call to action for more research to be undertaken into catheter ablation in the field of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) has been issued in a joint consensus document from the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) a registered branch of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the US Heart Rhythm Society (HRS). view more (2009-05-14)
Genetic risk factors identified for sudden cardiac death
Building on these findings, the Helmholtz scientists and their clinical partners want to obtain further insights into the pathogenesic mechanisms of the disease and gain perspectives for early diagnosis and therapy. The results of the genome-wide study have been published online in the journal Nature Genetics. view more (2009-03-23)
Largest study of in-hospital cardiac arrest suggests how to improve outcomes for children and adults
Children survive in-hospital cardiac arrests more frequently than adults, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may improve outcomes for both groups, and better knowledge of the underlying cause of a cardiac arrest may increase the chances of helping a patient survive it. view more (2006-01-04)
Researchers now able to look deep into heart to view triggers of a heart's beat
Being able to witness the precise events that form the heart's orchestral rhythm or the rat-a-tat-tat of irregular heartbeats could enable researchers to better understand the underlying causes of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. view more (2006-04-18)
Angina drug potentially useful against heart rhythm disorders
A recently approved angina drug may also represent a powerful new treatment for a rare hereditary syndrome that places teens at risk for sudden cardiac death, according to research presented to today at the 57th Annual Scientific Sessions of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in Chicago. view more (2008-04-01)
Test identifies best candidates for implanted cardiac defibrillator, screens out those not helped
Last year, about 170,000 people in North America had devices surgically implanted to stop potentially fatal arrhythmias. view more (2006-01-30)
