Leukemia drug could save lives of stroke patients
The drug tPA is the most effective treatment currently available for stroke patients, but its safety is limited to use within the first three hours following the onset of symptoms. view more (2008-06-23)
Leeches provide source for cardiovascular drugs
The leech has recently confirmed its biomedical interest for scientists by showing that it contains an extensive list of new potential molecules that may become useful tools in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. view more (2005-10-26)
Friend or foe? How the body's clot-busting system speeds up atherosclerosis
Sometimes it's hard to tell friends from foes, biologically speaking. Naturally produced in the body, urokinase plasminogen activator and plasminogen interact to break up blood clots and recruit clean-up cells to clear away debris related to inflammation. In fact, urokinase manufactured as a drug effectively clears clogged arteries by generating... view more... (2008-10-31)
Treating gum disease may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
The Journal of Dental Research has just published the results of a study showing that treatment of gum disease may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-01-05)
Mayo Clinic researchers use magnetic attraction to improve stents, reduce blood clot risk
Mayo Clinic heart researchers have devised a new strategy to improve the effectiveness and safety of heart stents, which are used to open narrowed blood vessels and have been the recent subject of clotting concerns. view more (2006-11-03)
Nature study demonstrates that bacterial clotting depends on clustering
Bacteria can directly cause human blood and plasma to clot-a process that was previously thought to have been lost during the course of vertebrate evolution, according to new research at the University of Chicago, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Institut Pasteur in Paris. Their findings will be published online Nov. 2 in... view more... (2008-11-03)
ESC Congress 2003: Blood thinners like aspirin may not be equally effective for everybody to prevent heart attack and stroke
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference 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 ESC Congress 2003: Clot-busters - do they work for all? Atherosclerosis is a slow,... view more... (2003-09-01)
Hormone drug type makes survival difference in advanced breast cancer
Aromatase inhibitors, a type of hormone therapy used to treat advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women, result in a small but significant increase in overall survival when compared to other hormone treatments, according to a new systematic review of studies. view more (2007-01-31)
Scientists develop new techniques for detecting harmful blood clots/air bubbles in arteries
New techniques for detecting emboli (harmful blood clots/air bubbles in arteries) developed at the University of Leicester have played a major role in dramatically reducing stroke rates after carotid endarterectomy. This is an operation designed to remove narrowings in the main arteries supplying the brain before they can cause a stroke. view more (2008-02-20)
Welcome Alternative To Warfarin For People At High Risk Of Stroke (pp 1686, 1691)
Results of an international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide strong evidence that the oral direct thrombin-inhibitor ximelagatran could be a safe and effective alternative to warfarin in reducing stroke among people with atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (irregular and rapidly beating atria) increases the risk of cardiac... view more... (2003-11-19)
Contraceptive use may be safe, but information gaps remain
Introduced in the 1960s, oral contraceptives have been used by about 80 percent of women in the United States at some point in their lives. view more (2009-01-14)
New study may explain Vioxx side effects
Vioxx and related pain medications were taken off the market in 2004 because they caused dangerous heart problems in some people. view more (2007-08-28)
Researchers fine-tune clot-busting treatment for bleeding in brain
A multicenter study led by Johns Hopkins doctors has fine-tuned the dosage and timing for administering clot-busting tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to patients with strokes caused by bleeding within the brain. The treatment, as reported this week at the European Stroke Conference in Nice, France, has been shown to dramatically decrease death... view more... (2008-05-14)
You are less likely to survive a heart attack in winter than in summer
Almost 11,000 people who had suffered a heart attack between 1988 and 1997 were compared. Those whose attacks occurred in the winter tended to have a higher risk profile, in that they were older, more likely to be at home when the attack occurred, and less likely to be defibrillatedgiven an electrical current to stop abnormal heart rhythms.... view more...

Less expensive anti-clotting medication appears as safe and effective as more expensive treatment
Subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection of the original and less expensive form of the anticoagulant medication heparin is as effective and safe as subcutaneous administration of the newer and more expensive low-molecular-weight heparin for treatment of venous thromboembolism (blood clots in the deep veins of the legs or in the lungs). view more (2006-08-23)
Preventing anemia is important to kidney disease patients' quality of life
Maintaining sufficient red blood cell levels is important to the physical and mental health of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a study appearing in the January 2009 issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society Nephrology (CJASN). The findings indicate that preventing anemia in kidney disease patients should be an... view more... (2008-11-12)
New blood thinner studied for patients with leg and lung clots
A new oral blood thinner is being compared to an old standby to see if it works as well and is easier to manage long term, researchers say. view more (2007-02-13)
Researchers find mutiple proteins that stick to medical devices
Biomedical engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have found a new role for the blood protein serum amyloid P in the body's response to medical materials, which may help to explain a variety of problems associated with heart-lung bypass, hemodialysis and the use of artificial vascular grafts. view more (2005-10-06)
