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)

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)

Issue 23 August 2003   view more (2003-08-20)

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... view more (2001-11-21)

Breakthrough in unravelling the causes of sudden cardiac death in young people
Scientists at the Wales Heart Research Institute, Cardiff University have made a breakthrough in our understanding of the causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young people.   view more (2005-12-09)

Breakthrough for treatment of fatal heart condition
Researchers at the University of Leeds have found a mechanism to prevent a potentially fatal heart condition that can strike without warning.   view more (2007-06-06)

Researchers find predictor of mortality in cardiac patients
Researchers at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn have determined that low levels of a protein in the blood is a predictor of cardiac death in patients with coronary artery disease.   view more (2007-02-21)

Kidney disease increases risk of sudden cardiac death for ICD patients
End-stage kidney disease significantly increases the risk of life-threatening heart rhythm abnormalities in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).   view more (2006-09-19)

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)

Sports-related sudden cardiac death is reduced by pre-participation cardiovascular screening
Young competitive athletes are perceived by the general population to be the healthiest members of society. The possibility that highly trained athletes may have a potentially serious cardiac condition that can predispose to life-threatening tachyarrhythmias or sudden cardiac death seems... view more (2008-09-02)

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE REMAINS A MYSTERY (pp 2010, 2029)
Authors of a Dutch study in this week's issue of THE LANCET conclude that medical explanations cannot account for the phenomonen known as near-death experience (NDE). Only a relatively small proportion of patients who became clinically dead (resulting in oxygen deprivation to the brain) reported... view more (2001-12-12)

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)

Genetic clues to cardiomyopathy's origins revealed in mice
A genetic discovery sheds new light on the cause of cardiomyopathy and sudden death in young adults, which originates in the previously overlooked right ventricle of the heart, said a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) in Houston.   view more (2006-08-21)

Statins benefit for kidney-transplant patients
Embargo: 0001 H (London time) Tuesday 3 June 2003. Authors of a study published on THE LANCET'S website today (www.thelancet.com) highlight how statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) could offer protection against cardiovascular disease for people who have undergone kidney transplantation.... view more (2003-05-30)

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)

Hidden heart condition increases the risk of death in patients waiting for kidney transplants
An often asymptomatic condition-systolic dysfunction, or decreased pumping of the heart-poses an increased risk of death for patients on kidney transplant waiting lists, according to a study appearing in the June 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Society Nephrology (JASN).   view more (2008-05-16)

Competitive athletes not over-represented in sudden cardiac death
Sudden cardiac death among young people is uncommon but is not decreasing. Three times more men than women are affected, and competitive athletes are not over-represented. This is shown a dissertation written by Aase Wisten, Ume'å University, to be publicly defended in the auditorium at... view more (2005-05-20)
