Russian medical professionals are trying to fight atherosclerosis by means of low-intensity infrared laser therapy. The relevant clinical tests are demonstrating successful results. Atherosclerosis vascular diseases have become the principal cause of disability or death for the population of industrially developed countries. Atherosclerosis... view more... (2004-05-07)
Heart Protein Regulates Blood Vessel Maintenance
In a study led by Akiko Hata, PhD, of Tufts University School of Medicine, researchers have shown that a protein expressed in the heart, FHL2, inhibits the genes necessary for the quiescence of vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs), which line blood vessels. view more (2009-05-11)
Scientists uncover the potential to control adult stem cells
Research being presented today (10 April) at the UK National Stem Cell Network Annual Science Meeting in Edinburgh represents a step towards the use of Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) to repair damaged tissue. view more (2008-04-10)
UF researchers test stem cell therapy for heart patients
University of Florida doctors on Wednesday (Oct. 3) treated their first patient enrolled in a new study designed to test whether injecting stem cells into the heart helps restore blood flow to the organ by prompting new blood vessels to grow. view more (2007-10-05)
Biomedical Engineering Study Demonstrates the Healing Value of Magnets
Magnets have been touted for their healing properties since ancient Greece. Magnetic therapy is still widely used today as an alternative method for treating a number of conditions, from arthritis to depression, but there hasn't been scientific proof that magnets can heal. view more (2008-01-04)
Pulmonary hypertension in children may result from reduced activity of gene regulator
Too little activity by gene regulators called PPARs appears to be a major player in the irreversible lung damage that can occur in children with heart defects, researchers say. view more (2009-03-06)

American Society of Hypertension-Booth #2412-May 16, 2006-InterCure, Ltd., today announced new findings demonstrating the mechanism of action of its FDA-cleared hypertension treatment device, RESPeRATE. view more (2006-05-17)
New finding may help explain development of preeclampsia
In a study of pregnant women, those with pregnancy-induced high blood pressure were found to have higher levels of a peptide that raises blood pressure in the pieces of tissue linking mother and fetus, according to researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2008-02-11)
Estrogen plays different role during stress in black and white teens
Estrogen seems to play a different role during stress in black and white girls, a difference that may help explain higher cardiovascular disease rates in blacks, researchers have found. view more (2006-06-26)
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)
Drug attacks prostate cancer in mouse model by destroying its blood supply

Cardiff University researchers have increased the understanding of why some painkillers increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. view more (2006-09-13)
Readily available treatment could help prevent heart disease in kidney patients
The estimated 19 million Americans living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) face a high risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have shown that a main source of this cardiovascular risk is CKD patients' high levels of blood phosphate. view more (2008-04-18)
High levels of uric acid may be associated with high blood pressure
Reducing levels of uric acid in blood lowered blood pressure to normal in most teens in a study designed to investigate a possible link between blood pressure and the chemical, a waste product of the body's normal metabolism. view more (2008-08-27)
Study shows CT angiography can replace digital subtraction angiography

Stopping germs from ganging up on humans
Keeping germs from cooperating can delay the evolution of drug resistance more effectively than killing germs one by one with traditional drugs such as antibiotics, according to new research from The University of Arizona in Tucson. view more (2008-11-20)
Novel compound may lessen heart attack damage
A novel drug designed to lessen muscle damage from a heart attack has passed initial safety tests at the Duke Clinical Research Institute. Results of the study, available online and to be published in the February 19 issue of the journal Circulation, reflect the first time the drug has been tested in humans. view more (2008-02-07)
