Damage inflicted during cardiac attacks more widespread than previously thought, MSU researchers find
Cholesterol crystals released in the bloodstream during a cardiac attack or stroke can damage artery linings much further away from the site of the attack, leaving survivors at greater risk than previously thought. view more (2008-11-12)
Immune cells ameliorate hypertension-induced cardiac damage in mice
Researchers in Berlin, Germany have found that a specific type of immune cell, the regulatory T lymphocyte (Treg) plays an important role in hypertension-induced cardiac damage. view more (2009-06-10)
Study sees transient heart dysfunction in some long-distance runners
A new study using advanced cardiac imaging technology indicates that cardiac abnormalities experienced by some marathon runners following competition are temporary, and do not result in damage to the heart muscle. view more (2009-05-18)
Emergency hospital team halves cardiac arrest deaths
Early intervention by a medical emergency team can reduce deaths from unexpected cardiac arrest in hospital by half, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-02-13)
MRI is Better Than SPECT in Assessing Heart Damage in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Contrast-enhanced MRI is better than SPECT in detecting heart damage in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease that can lead to sudden death in young patients. view more (2005-08-08)
MRI detects early heart damage in patients with sarcoidosis
To detect heart damage early in patients with the immune system disorder sarcoidosis, who are at elevated risk of dieing from heart problems, magnetic resonance imaging is twice as sensitive as conventional methods. view more (2006-11-13)
Schizophrenia drugs increase risk of cardiac arrest
Patients with schizophrenia who take antipsychotic drugs are more likely to have a cardiac arrest than non-schizophrenic patients, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-11-06)
Hypothermia Helps Cardiac Patients to Live Longer
Approximately 375,000 Europeans suffer cardiac arrest every year - often with fatal consequences. Even upon successful resuscitation, several patients suffer severe and irreparable brain damage. One in seven patients could be saved and the amount of serious damage resulting from cardiac arrest could be drastically reduced by reducing the body... view more... (2002-04-08)
Study finds cardiac toxicity rates high with herceptin use
The first study to look at "real world" use of Herceptin in advanced breast cancer patients found a higher incidence of cardiac toxicity - 28 percent of patients treated - than clinical trials of the drug have reported to date, but also concluded that the majority of this heart damage could be reversed with treatment. view more (2006-08-15)
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)
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)
Even a little cooling helps after cardiac arrest
As many as 400,000 people in North America suffer sudden cardiac arrest. Only 30% have their hearts restarted, and only about 6% survive to hospital discharge. Once the heart is restarted, a significant factor for subsequent death is brain injury. view more (2006-05-18)
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)
Coronary angiography may improve outcomes for cardiac arrest patients
People who suffer cardiac arrests and then receive coronary angiography are twice as likely to survive without significant brain damage compared with those who don't have the procedure, according to a study by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers. view more (2009-04-01)
New cardiac MRI pinpoints closed arteries without surgery
A new cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique can noninvasively demonstrate blockage of the coronary arteries with high diagnostic accuracy, according to a study featured in the July issue of Radiology. view more (2006-06-27)
Cooling treatment after cardiac arrest is cost-effective, Penn study shows
A brain-preserving cooling treatment called therapeutic hypothermia is a cost-effective way to improve outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, which claims the lives of more than 300,000 people each year in the United States and leaves thousands of others neurologically devastated. view more (2009-08-06)
A "Broader" Look at Cardiac CTA Images Often Finds Diseases/Disorders Beyond the Heart
Performing cardiac CTA after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) can reveal unsuspected and potentially significant findings beyond the heart. view more (2007-08-14)
Implantable defibrillators save lives but may increase heart failure risk
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death but may increase the risk of subsequent heart failure in patients who live longer, according to a study published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2006-06-13)
