Systolic and diastolic blood pressures together more useful for predicting cardiovascular risk
Individuals with diastolic blood pressure under 70 mm Hg coupled with an elevated systolic blood pressure may have a greater risk of heart attack and stroke than indicated by the systolic blood pressure values alone, according to a UC Irvine study. view more (2009-02-19)
Scientists help explain effects of ancient Chinese herbal formulas on heart health
New research at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston suggests that ancient Chinese herbal formulas used primarily for cardiovascular indications including heart disease may produce large amounts of artery-widening nitric oxide. view more (2009-08-19)
Aspirin and similar drugs may be associated with brain microbleeds in older adults
Individuals who take aspirin or other medications that prevent blood clotting by inhibiting the accumulation of platelets appear more likely to have tiny, asymptomatic areas of bleeding in the brain. view more (2009-04-14)
First IBIS results show tamoxifen reduces breast cancer in healthy high-risk women
First results from the long-awaited IBIS trial into the use of tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer in healthy women at high risk have firmly established that the drug can indeed cut the incidence of the disease. These preliminary results were presented today (Wednesday 20 March) at the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona together... view more... (2002-03-19)
For some, aspirin doesn't increase risk of recurring hemorrhagic stroke
Aspirin is typically prescribed for people at risk of having an ischemic stroke to prevent blood clots. Because aspirin may cause bleeding, it is typically avoided in people who have had a hemorrhagic stroke, also called intracerebral hemorrhage. view more (2006-01-24)
Late angioplasty after heart attack no better than drug therapy
About one-third of heart attack patients do not receive treatment to open blocked arteries within the recommended 12-hour timeframe after a heart attack. view more (2006-11-15)
University of Ulster spearheads giant leap forward in medicine
Researchers at the University of Ulster have uncovered a vital weapon in the fight against killer conditions like cancer and heart disease - frog venom. The team, headed by Professor Chris Shaw, has discovered that molecules called peptides, secreted by rain forest frogs to ward off predators, have the potential to: * Dramatically... view more...

DOES TREATING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SAVE LIVES? (P1305)
Findings of a meta-analysis published in this week's issue of The Lancet emphasise that blood pressure control is important and that on average, all antihypertensive drugs have similar long-term efficacy and safety. One of the most common causes of death in the developed world is cardiovascular disease (heart attacks and strokes). Measures to... view more... (2001-10-17)
Study: Added oxygen during stroke reduces brain tissue damage
Scientists have countered findings of previous clinical trials by showing that giving supplemental oxygen to animals during a stroke can reduce damage to brain tissue surrounding the clot. view more (2009-10-20)
Even low levels of air pollution may pose stroke risk
Short-term exposure to low levels of particulate air pollution may increase the risk of stroke or mini-stroke, according to findings that suggest current exposure standards could be insufficient to protect the public. view more (2008-06-02)
Aspirin may be less effective heart treatment for women than men
A new study shows that aspirin therapy for coronary artery disease is four times more likely to be ineffective in women compared to men with the same medical history. view more (2007-04-30)
Possible safer target for anti-clotting drugs found
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have identified a new molecular target in blood clot formation, which seems to reduce clotting without excessive bleeding, the common side-effect of anti-clotting agents. view more (2007-09-27)
No link between high blood pressure and headaches
Severe headaches are not a sign of high blood pressure, as is commonly thought, finds research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. If anything, high blood pressure seems to reduce the risk of these headaches, the study shows. view more (2002-03-21)
Older patients with acute coronary syndromes not getting recommended treatment
A review of more than 56,000 cases of acute coronary syndromes reveals that older patients are less likely to receive treatment recommended by guidelines, even though they benefit as much or more than younger patients when the recommended treatment is provided. view more (2005-10-12)
Air pollution link to clogged arteries
Should we be watching our exposure to airborne pollution as well as our cholesterol levels" Research now indicates that air pollution has a role to play in atherosclerosis (artery hardening), which can contribute to heart attacks or strokes. view more (2007-07-26)
Effect of breast feeding on blood pressure may be overestimated
Previous research may have overestimated the beneficial effects of breast feeding on blood pressure in later life, say researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2003-11-19)
Rotavirus can spread beyond the intestine
A new study in PLoS Medicine has shown that children who have rotavirus, a very common cause of diarrhea in children, and who have antigens (protein fragments from the surface of the virus) in their blood, also have infectious virus in their blood. view more (2007-04-17)
3-D MRI technique helps radiologists detect high-risk carotid disease
Canadian researchers have used three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (3-D MRI) to accurately detect bleeding within the walls of diseased carotid arteries, a condition that may lead to a stroke. view more (2008-09-16)
Research highlights new approaches to prevent blood clots
Blood clotting, or coagulation, is an important process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. view more (2008-12-08)
Several genes that regulate the disease SLE have been identified
Swedish researchers, in collaboration with foreign colleagues, have identified a number of new genes that can be tied to the disease SLE, including a gene that hopefully might be used to treat the disease in the future by regulating the production of antibodies. view more (2008-01-23)
