New genetic link between cardiac arrhythmias and thyroid dysfunction identified
Genes previously known to be essential to the coordinated, rhythmic electrical activity of cardiac muscle -- a healthy heartbeat -- have now also been found to play a key role in thyroid hormone (TH) biosynthesis, according to Weill Cornell Medical College researchers. view more (2009-09-21)
Rehabilitation significantly underused after heart attack and bypass surgery
Despite strong evidence that cardiac rehabilitation reduces disability and prolongs life, fewer than one in five people receive rehabilitation services after a heart attack or coronary bypass surgery, according to a Brandeis study in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2007-09-26)
Developing depression after a heart attack increases one's risk of death or readmission
Science has found many links between depression and other serious medical illnesses, such as cancer, stroke, diabetes, and heart disease. view more (2008-10-22)
Charcoal-a Low-cost Option To Treat Oleander Poisoning (p 1935)
Research from Sri Lanka in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how repeated doses of charcoal could reduce deaths from oleander-seed poisoning by up to 70%. The authors of the study suggest that charcoal could also be effective in treating poisoning from drugs used in Western populations with similar effects to oleander-seed poisoning, such... view more...

High calcium level in arteries may signal serious heart attack risk
Researchers may be able to predict future severe cardiac events in patients with known, stable coronary artery disease (CAD) using coronary calcium scoring, according to a study published in the online edition of Radiology. view more (2009-07-28)
Penn researchers discover 'modus operandi' of heart muscle protein
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered that a protein called leiomodin (Lmod) promotes the assembly of an important heart muscle protein called actin. What's more, Lmod directs the assembly of actin to form the pumping unit of the heart. The findings appear in this week's issue of Science. view more (2008-04-11)
Heart transplant from organ donor with hepatitis C associated with decreased survival
Heart transplant patients who receive a donor heart from a person with hepatitis C have a lower rate of survival. view more (2006-10-18)
Inhibition of GRK2 is protective against acute cardiac stress injuries
Inhibition of a protein known to contribute to heart failure also appears to be protective of the heart in more acute cardiac stress injury, namely ischemia reperfusion. view more (2009-11-18)
CELL TRANSPLANTATION COULD RESTORE CARDIAC FUNCTION AFTER HEART ATTACK (p 491)
Issue 8 February 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 7 February 2003 French authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe the preliminary success of transplanting muscle stem-cells from the thigh to the heart to restore damaged cardiac tissue after heart attack. The procedure was done in a 72-year-old man and resulted... view more... (2003-02-05)
Bonn scientists discover new hemoglobin type
Scientists at the University of Bonn have discovered a new rare type of haemo-globin. Haemoglobin transports oxygen in the red blood corpuscles. view more (2008-03-18)
Light to moderate drinking reduces risk of cardiac events, death
Older adults who consume one to seven alcoholic beverages a week may live longer and have a reduced risk for cardiac events than those who do not drink-an association that appears independent of the anti-inflammatory effects of alcohol. view more (2006-07-25)
Lighting up the heart
A major breakthrough in research could lead to improved recovery of the heart when it is re-started after a heart attack or cardiac surgery. view more (2006-09-22)
Early cardiac screening necessary for muscular dystrophy patients
Early diagnosis and treatment of heart disease may lead to longer life in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy patients. view more (2005-10-31)
Study helps explain origins of cardiac fibrosis in patients with heart disease
A report led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) helps explain the origins of cardiac fibrosis, a stiffening of the heart muscle that leads to a variety of cardiac diseases, most notably heart failure. view more (2007-07-30)
New Research Seeks to Enhance Quality and Security of Wireless Telemedicine
A team of researchers led by Fei Hu, assistant professor of computer engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, is working to advance the integration of radio frequency identification technology, also known as RFID, into cardiac sensor networks, a new wireless technology for telemedicine delivery. view more (2007-09-18)

Patients with amnesia 'live in the present'
Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, University College London, have shown that people with damage to the hippocampus, the area of the brain that plays a crucial role in learning and memory, not only have trouble remembering the past but also in imagining new and future experiences. view more (2007-01-16)
