SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN DEATH RATE AFTER BYPASS SURGERY FOR PEOPLE WITH ANAEMIA (p 1749)
Anaemic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery could have up to a five-fold increased risk of death in the days after surgery compared with patients who have normal haemoglobin concentrations, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. People with anaemia (individuals with a haemoglobin concentration of... view more... (2002-05-15)
Scientists from the CIMA from the University of Navarra investigate a molecule for diagnosing hypertensive cardiopathy
Scientists from the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA) from the University of Navarra investigate whether cardiotrophin 1, a molecule that can be measured in blood, can be used as a diagnostic marker for hypertensive cardiopathy. view more (2007-05-11)
Young athletes need dual screening tests for heart defects, study suggests
To best detect early signs of life-threatening heart defects in young athletes, screening programs should include both popular diagnostic tests, not just one of them, according to new research from heart experts at Johns Hopkins. view more (2009-11-16)
Fish oil -- helpful or harmful?
Fish oil supplements may help some cardiac patients while harming others, suggests a new review of evidence compiled by St. Michael's Hospital and University of Toronto researchers. view more (2008-01-15)
Children with ADHD should get heart tests before treatment with stimulant drugs
Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) should get careful cardiac evaluation and monitoring - including an electrocardiogram (ECG) - before treatment with stimulant drugs, a new American Heart Association statement recommends. view more (2008-04-22)
Two thirds of sports doctors have inadequate first aid skills
Two thirds of sports doctors are incapable of demonstrating proficiency in first aid skills under examination, shows research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. The research, from the University of Bath, focused on the performance of candidates seeking to obtain a diploma in sports and exercise medicine. The diploma includes proficiency... view more...

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)
Blood test can accurately diagnose heart failure in patients with kidney dysfunction
A large-scale analysis has shown that a blood test previously found useful in diagnosing or ruling out heart failure in emergency room patients remains effective in patients with chronic kidney disease. view more (2005-12-15)
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)
Wide variation by ambulance crews of when to stop resuscitating patients
The point at which crews are allowed to recognise that a patient has died or that life-saving resuscitation attempts are no longer warranted, varies widely among UK ambulance services, reveals research in Emergency Medicine Journal. This is despite the publication of national, validated guidelines in 1996, which apply to all adults who have not... view more... (2002-07-08)
Finnish study identifies factors that increase death in stroke patients ages 15 to 49
Heavy drinking, being 45 to 49 years old, type 1 diabetes or having a preceding infection are associated with more than twice the risk of death in stroke patients 15 to 49 years old, according to a Finnish study. view more (2009-07-10)
New study doubles survival to hospital discharge after cardiac arrest
A new seven-city study on the impact of new CPR techniques supports the widespread use of the American Heart Association's new 2005 CPR guidelines, according to the study authors in a presentation at the AHA's Scientific Sessions November 4 in Orlando. view more (2007-11-07)

Pediatric heart condition's origin, prevalence mirror adults
The mystery behind a commonly untreatable and undetected heart muscle disease in children is partially revealed for the first time in today's edition of the scientific journal JAMA. view more (2006-10-18)
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)
Women less likely to receive heart device therapy but survive with it longer than men
Women with heart failure are less likely than men to receive cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) - an implantable device shown to enhance quality of life for people with heart failure; yet women who get CRT live longer than men who get it. view more (2005-11-16)
Immunisation is not linked to sudden infant death
Vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis is now given at ages 2, 3 and 4 months in the UK, which coincides with the peak age for the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). However, a study in this week's BMJ finds that immunisation is not linked to sudden unexpected death in infancy and may even protect against it. All sudden unexpected... view more... (2001-04-03)
Comprehensive cardiac CT scan may give clearer picture of significant heart disease
A team of researchers led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) radiologists has developed a computed-tomography-based protocol that identifies both narrowing of coronary arteries and areas of myocardial ischemia - restricted blood flow to heart muscle tissue - giving a better indication of clinically significant coronary artery disease. view more (2009-09-16)
Medication reduces risk of heart irregularities after cardiac surgery
Use of the medication amiodarone is associated with one-half the incidence of atrial tachyarrhythmias (rapid, abnormal heart beat) following cardiac surgery, according to a study in the December 28 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-12-29)
