Exercise is safe, improves quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure
Regular exercise is safe for heart failure patients and may slightly lower their risk of death or hospitalization, according to results from the largest and most comprehensive clinical trial to examine the effects of exercise in chronic heart failure patients. view more (2009-04-08)
Study provides insight on a common heart rhythm disorder
University of Iowa researchers and colleagues in France have identified a gene variant that causes a potentially fatal human heart rhythm disorder called sinus node disease. view more (2008-10-08)
ZOLINZA (vorinostat) in combination with bortezomib demonstrated clinical activity
Results from two investigational Phase I trials of ZOLINZA® (vorinostat) in combination with bortezomib provide preliminary anti-tumor activity in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma. view more (2007-12-10)
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)
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. view more (2008-04-02)
When a child's heart stops, onset time of abnormal rhythms is crucial
Ventricular fibrillation, the life-threatening disordered heart rhythms that may accompany full cardiac arrest, occurs more frequently in children than commonly believed, according to a large national pediatric study. view more (2006-06-01)
Engineered heart tissue offers insights into irregular heartbeats, defibrillator failure
Engineers who have induced heart cells in culture to mimic the properties of the heart have used the tissue to gain new insight into the mechanisms that spawn irregular heart rhythms. view more (2006-02-06)
Study finds limitations in publicly reported quality-of-care indicators for heart-failure patients
Academic researchers reported that all five standard hospital-based performance measures used to gauge quality of care for hospitalized heart failure patients may not be the best benchmarks since none were significant predictors of patient mortality during the critical first 60 to 90 days immediately following hospital discharge. view more (2007-01-03)
Fruit fly research may lead to better understanding of human heart disease
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have shown in both fruit flies and humans that genes involved in embryonic heart development are also integral to adult heart function. The study, led by Rolf Bodmer, Ph.D., was published in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-12-02)
SYNTAX defines borders between CABG and PCI with TAXUS drug-eluting stents
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) should remain the "standard of care" for patients with complex coronary artery disease, concludes the SYNTAX study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (online February 18, 2009, Print edition March 5). view more (2009-02-23)
Closing holes in heart important treatment for young stroke patients, study says
Placement of devices to close holes in the heart is a successful treatment for young stroke patients, finds a study involving three medical centers. view more (2006-05-18)
Patients who get ICDs for prevention have less driving restrictions
People who receive implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) as a preventative measure don't need the same driving restrictions as people who get an ICD after surviving a life-threatening heart rhythm disturbance, according to an updated scientific statement. view more (2007-02-08)
New guidelines offer power to prevent stroke
Healthy habits and appropriate treatments help prevent stroke, according to graded, evidenced-based recommendations issued today by the American Heart Association and it's division, the American Stroke Association. view more (2006-05-08)
Kidney disease increases risk of sudden cardiac death for ICD patients
End-stage kidney disease significantly increases the risk of life-threatening heart rhythm abnormalities in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). view more (2006-09-19)
New insights into deadly heart rhythm disorder
Every year, 300,000 Americans die suddenly when, out of the blue, a "storm" of electrical activity arises within their heart muscle - so violent and so abrupt that their hearts just stop beating. These tragic and dramatic "sudden cardiac deaths" strike people young and old, often without warning. view more (2007-12-21)
Eating walnuts with high-fat meals helps to protect arteries against short-term damage
If you've been going a little nuts trying to eat a healthier diet, you just might be on the right track. New research shows that consuming a handful of raw walnuts along with meals high in saturated fat appears to limit the ability of the harmful fat to damage arteries. view more (2006-10-10)
Cardiac fibrillation of the climate
In the current issue of the Scientific Journal Nature Geoscience a group of Norwegian, Swiss and German geoscientists prove that before the set-in of the Holocene very rapid climate changes already existed. view more (2009-02-17)
Consumption of fish oil does not appear to protect against abnormal heart rhythms
Patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator did not have a significantly lower risk of serious abnormal heart rhythms or death by consuming fish oil supplements, which had been thought to have a protective effect. view more (2006-06-14)
15 minutes training enough to save lives with an automated external defibrillator
Just fifteen minutes of training could make it possible for anyone to use a defibrillator to stop sudden cardiac arrest. A study published today in the journal Critical Care shows that a brief training session is all that is needed for safe and efficient use of an automated external defibrillator. view more (2005-01-26)
Nature press release for 4 January issue
[409053] EVOLUTION: POLES APART, MOLARS TOGETHER (pp53-57; N&V) The shearing and grinding teeth that arguably allowed mammals to radiate from tiny shrew-like ancestors to today's relative giants may have evolved twice independently - so a study in this week's Nature suggests, overturning previous ideas on how advanced mammals first came about,... view more...
