Vaccine may reduce the risk of heart attacks
In the future, could we be vaccinated against atherosclerosis--the disease that causes heart attacks, angina pectoris, and most cases of stroke? Research at Lund University's Department of Medicine in Malmö, Sweden, provides hope of this. Atherosclerosis starts with particles of LDL, called "bad cholesterol," getting stuck in a... view more... (2003-05-14)
Preclinical Study Links Gene to Brain Aneurysm Formation
University of Cincinnati (UC) neurovascular researchers have identified a gene that-when suppressed or completely absent-may predispose a person to brain aneurysms. view more (2007-08-08)
New treatment for age-related macular degeneration within sight
With 8 million people at high risk for advanced age-related macular degeneration, researchers from Harvard and Japan discovered that the experimental drug, endostatin, may be the cure. view more (2007-11-30)
Penn study points to how COX-2 inhibitors can eventually lead to heart disease
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers have found additional evidence that may help explain how selective inhibitors of COX-2 might predispose individuals to heart disease and stroke. view more (2005-05-25)
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)
Flavanol-rich cocoa improves blood vessel function in aging baby boomer study participants
Flavanol-rich cocoa could offer powerful cardiovascular benefits for the nearly 78 million baby boomers in the United States today, suggests a new study published in the August issue of the Journal of Hypertension. view more (2006-08-02)
New evidence of how high glucose damages blood vessels could lead to new treatments
New evidence of how the elevated glucose levels that occur in diabetes damage blood vessels may lead to novel strategies for blocking the destruction, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-05-12)
Gladstone scientists identify single microRNA that controls blood vessel development
Scientists from the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) and UCSF have identified a key regulatory factor that controls development of the human vascular system, the extensive network of arteries, veins, and capillaries that allow blood to reach all tissues and organs. view more (2008-08-12)
Study in Circulation provides detail on how low blood flow promotes vascular disease
Researchers have found the first direct proof that a key protein drives the clogging of arteries in two ways, and that lowering levels of it opens them up, according to study results published in the June edition of the journal Circulation. view more (2008-06-24)
Another way to grow blood vessels
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have found a previously unknown molecular pathway in mice that spurs the growth of new blood vessels when body parts are jeopardized by poor circulation. view more (2008-02-21)
Angiotensin receptor blockers are lower incidence, progression of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have, for the first time, found that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)-a particular class of anti-hypertensive medicines-are associated with a striking decrease in the occurrence and progression of dementia. Data from this study will be presented this weekend (July 27) at the 2008... view more... (2008-07-28)
Clumps of red and white blood cells may contribute to sickle cell disease
It's long been known that patients with sickle cell disease have malformed, "sickle-shaped" red blood cells - which are normally disc-shaped - that can cause sudden painful episodes when they block small blood vessels. view more (2008-04-29)
UK physician revolutionizes gene research
A dramatic new study published in the most recent issue of Nature questions some of the mechanisms underlying a new class of drugs based on Nobel Prize-winning work designed to fight diseases ranging from macular degeneration to diabetes. view more (2008-03-27)
Study reveals a key to blood vessel growth and possible drug target
Researchers have identified a molecular pathway that plays a critical role in the growth of blood vessels. The finding not only offers an important insight into the development of the vascular system during embryonic development but suggests a potential target for inhibiting the blood vessels that fuel cancers, diabetic eye complications and... view more...

Endovascular Coil Superior To Neurosurgery For Treatment Of Brain Haemorrhage
Results of a landmark international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide compelling evidence for the use of a platinum coil transported through blood vessels-rather than conventional neurosurgery-to stop bleeding after brain haemorrhage. Around 8 in 100,000 people in western countries have a subarachnoid haemorrhage (the bursting of a... view more... (2002-10-24)
A missing enzyme conveys major heart protection in pre-clinical work
Mice born without a certain enzyme can resist the normal effects of a heart attack and retain nearly normal function in the heart's ventricles and still-oxygenated heart tissue, according to a study by researchers at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2009-03-31)
New treatment for severe malaria
The most dangerous form of malaria is difficult to treat and claims two million lives a year. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a powerful new weapon against the disease. view more (2006-10-02)
Repair not destruction: A new approach to treating retinopathy
Many diseases of the eye (such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and diabetic retinopathy) that result in loss of vision are the result of the growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak and bleed. view more (2006-11-17)
A longer lasting tumor blocker
On the heels of dismaying reports that a promising antitumor drug could, in theory, shorten patients' long-term survival, comes a promising study by a Japanese team of researchers that suggests a potentially better option. view more (2009-04-28)
Link between autism and abnormal blood-vessel function and oxidative stress
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that children with autism showed signs of abnormal blood-vessel function and damaging levels of oxidative stress compared to healthy children. view more (2006-08-16)
