Magnets may pose serious risks for patients with pacemakers and ICDs
Magnets may interfere with the operation of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), according to a study published in the December 2006 edition of Heart Rhythm. view more (2006-11-30)
Coronary calcium distribution tied to heart attack risk
A new calcium scoring method may better predict a person's risk of heart attack, according to a new multicenter study published in the June issue of the journal Radiology. Calcium coverage scoring takes into account not only the amount of calcified plaque build-up in the coronary arteries, but also its distribution. view more (2008-05-27)
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)
Media invitation: First Live Heart Operation to be Broadcast to UK Audience at Dana Centre
For the first time, a live heart bypass operation will be broadcast to a public audience in the UK. On Wednesday 28 January, visitors to the Dana Centre in London will have the opportunity to not only watch live surgery, but to direct questions to the team in the USA whilst the operation takes place. The surgery will be broadcast live to the... view more... (2004-01-16)
Progress being made in exploring potential use of stem cells to treat heart disease
Scientists are making headway in exploring the potential future use of stem cells to treat heart disease, according to a review article in the current issue of Nature (June 29, 2006). view more (2006-06-29)
Researchers make case for standardized analysis of cardiac imaging
For accuracy's sake, medical professionals should use the same software for comparing and analyzing diagnostic heart images taken from different time periods and laboratories, a team of researchers has concluded. view more (2008-03-13)
Air pollution damages more than lungs: Heart and blood vessels suffer too
As athletes from around the world compete in the Beijing Olympics, many are on alert for respiratory problems caused by air pollution. They should also be concerned about its toxic effects on the heart and cardiovascular system, mounting research shows. view more (2008-08-14)
Evidence that stun guns may stimulate the heart
On the eve of the British Columbia inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski, a review of scientific data in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) finds that in some cases, stun guns may stimulate the heart in experimental models. This evidence is contrary to current views that stun guns only affect skeletal muscles. view more (2008-05-05)
Walking often and far reduces risks in heart patients
An exercise program that burns a lot of calories reduced cardiac risk factors better than standard cardiac rehabilitation in overweight coronary patients, researchers report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-05-12)
ESC Congress 2003: Striking reduction in mortality after a "heart attack" - A National Study in 2002
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session 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 We observed a striking decline in mortality among consecutive patients with "heart attacks" hospitalized in... view more...

First-degree relatives of patients with bicuspid aortic valve should be screened
Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV), a condition in which patients' aortic valves have just two leaflets instead of the normal three, is the most common cardiac anomaly, affecting up to two percent of the general population. view more (2009-06-11)
Heart failure linked to cognitive impairment
Nearly half of patients with heart failure (HF) have problems with memory and other aspects of cognitive functioning, reports a new study published by Elsevier, in the February issue of Journal of Cardiac Failure. view more (2009-02-05)
Fat collections linked to decreased heart function
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have shown that fat collection in different body locations, such as around the heart and the aorta and within the liver, are associated with certain decreased heart functions. view more (2009-11-16)
Expert on terrorism warns about the implantation of radical Islamism in Spain since 11-M
Jihadist networks "have been trying to implement their structure in Spain" since the 2004 Madrid train bombings, and therefore it is necessary for police authorities to "design and implement solutions to reduce the magnitude of the jihadist structural phenomenon in Spain". view more (2009-11-12)
JAMA study provides clues to cause of sudden cardiac death in teens
Fainting during childhood, and whether a teen is going through the male or female changes of puberty, are among the factors that predict whether a genetic defect will suddenly stop the teen's heartbeat, according to a study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). view more (2006-09-13)
Many patients with heart disease have poor knowledge of heart attack symptoms
Nearly half of patients with a history of heart disease have poor knowledge about the symptoms of a heart attack and do not perceive themselves to have an elevated cardiovascular risk, according to a report in the May 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-05-27)
Ancient protein offers clues to killer condition
More than 600 million years of evolution has taken two unlikely distant cousins - turkeys and scallops - down very different physical paths from a common ancestor. But University of Leeds researchers have found that a motor protein, myosin 2, remains structurally identical in both creatures. view more (2008-05-13)
Screening for left ventricular dysfunction may have less value than thought
The value and cost-effectiveness of screening for left ventricular (LV) dysfunction remains unclear, particularly since specific, evidence-based treatments are not available for the majority of patients with preserved systolic dysfunction. view more (2009-06-12)
ACE inhibitors may reduce death, heart attack and stroke in patients with coronary artery disease
ngiotension-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, medications commonly used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), may reduce cardiovascular risk and the risk of death in patients with coronary artery disease. view more (2006-04-11)
Gladstone scientists identify role of tiny RNAs in controlling stem cell fate
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) and the University of California, San Francisco have identified for the first time how tiny genetic factors called microRNAs may influence the differentiation of pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells into cardiac muscle. view more (2008-03-06)
