ICDs effective in helping to prevent sudden cardiac death in patients with certain heart disorder
High-risk patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy appear to have reduced risk of sudden cardiac death with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator that terminates dangerous heart rhythm disorders. view more (2007-07-25)
Automated External Defibrillators and CPR Are Equally Helpful for Sudden Cardiac Arrest in the Home
The first study to explore the use of automated external defibrillator (AEDs) in the home has found that although the safe and easy-to-use devices are effective for certain types of cardiac arrest, they were underused. view more (2008-04-02)
Rhythm abnormality of unknown origin strongly predicts sudden death risk in heart disease patients
Researchers conducting a large, ongoing study to improve detection and prevention of sudden cardiac death were surprised to discover that a specific heart rhythm abnormality - idiopathic QT interval prolongation - increased risk five-fold among patients with coronary artery disease. view more (2009-02-03)

Kidney donation after cardiac death may expand donor pool, research shows
New research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center suggests that transplanting kidneys from donors who died after cardiac arrest - which used to be considered taboo - offers a promising approach to increase the donor pool. view more (2007-12-05)
Benefit of public defibrillators is marginal
Making defibrillators widely available in public places such as airports and shopping centres is not justified by the marginal improvement in survival, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in Scotland used records of all out of hospital cardiac arrests due to heart disease from 1991-1998 to estimate the potential impact of public access... view more... (2002-09-04)
Adolescent arrest history influences risk of acquiring HIV
Adolescents with a history of arrest are at greater risk for HIV infection than adolescents with no arrest history, according to a new study published in the November issue of Drug and Alcohol Dependence. view more (2006-11-15)
CPR and external defibrillator training may decrease adolescent sports-related deaths
Although adolescent sports-related deaths are rare, they are commonly caused by cardiovascular problems, such as commotio cardis-cardiac arrest caused by being hit in the chest with an object, such as a baseball or softball, usually traveling 30 to 50 miles per hour. view more (2005-12-07)
Gene mingling increases sudden death risk
A multi-national research team has discovered that two genetic factors converge to increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. view more (2009-10-13)
Stroke and SIDS in Alaska topics of neuroscience conference
University of Alaska Fairbanks neuroscientists studying stroke and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome will present their research findings at the 7th Conference of the Specialized Neuroscience Research Programs in New York Aug. 19-22, 2008. view more (2008-08-20)
Lifesaving cardiac monitor technology unveiled
A revolutionary Personal Health Status Monitor for early detection of life threatening cardiac rhythms is just one of the exciting new medical devices set to revolutionise health care on show at the Personalised Health Workshop in Belfast. view more (2004-12-15)
Anyone can save a life: Penn researchers lead national efforts to improve CPR quality
"Anyone can save a life." That's the message from physicians at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. view more (2008-01-15)
DEPRESSION INCREASES RISK OF CARDIAC EVENTS AFTER CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS SURGERY (p 1766)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how depression is an important independent risk factor for cardiac events after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The study showed that depressed patients are more than twice as likely as non-depressed patients to die or be readmitted for cardiac causes in the 12 months after... view more... (2001-11-21)
Women fast catching up with men on risks of sudden death after heart attack
Women are fast catching up with men when it comes to risk of sudden death after a heart attack, reveals research in Heart. view more (2002-11-18)
Cardiac CT Is More Cost Effective When Managing Low-Risk Patients with Chest Pain in the Emergency Department
The use of cardiac CT for low-risk chest pain patients in the emergency department, instead of the traditional standard of care (SOC) workup, may reduce a patient's length of stay and hospital charges. view more (2009-07-10)
Coronary imaging techniques helps to identify plaques likely to cause heart attacks
Late-breaking results from the PROSPECT clinical trial shed new light on the types of vulnerable plaque that are most likely to cause sudden, unexpected adverse cardiac events, and on the ability to identify them through imaging techniques before they occur. view more (2009-09-25)
Different treatment options in chronic coronary artery disease
Sometimes cardiologists and cardiac surgeons can agree! There is often disagreement between the professions of cardiology and cardiac surgery about the proper therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD)-and this can harm the patient. view more (2009-04-28)
Altering genetic blueprint of receptors in brain could help stroke victims avoid brain damage
A University of Central Florida researcher has discovered that altering a receptor that mediates communication between nerve cells in the brain significantly improves animals' chances of surviving strokes and allows them to remain healthier afterwards. view more (2006-04-11)
Best settings for biphasic automated defibrillators investigated
As the use of automated external defibrillation (AED) devices outside of hospital settings increases, the scientific medical community has not agreed on the optimal energy levels for initial and subsequent biphasic shocks. view more (2006-05-18)
