Study: Chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth better for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
A study published March 17, 2007 in The Lancet, one of the world's foremost medical journals, finds that the chances of surviving a cardiac arrest outside a hospital setting are almost twice as high if bystanders perform chest-compression-only resuscitation instead of traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with mouth-to-mouth breathing. view more (2007-03-16)
Treating depression may improve recovery of heart rate variability following coronary syndromes
Patients with depression appear to have an impaired ability to recover their heart rate variability following acute coronary syndromes such as heart attack, a factor that could increase their risk of coronary death. view more (2007-09-04)
Genetic risk factors identified for sudden cardiac death
Building on these findings, the Helmholtz scientists and their clinical partners want to obtain further insights into the pathogenesic mechanisms of the disease and gain perspectives for early diagnosis and therapy. The results of the genome-wide study have been published online in the journal Nature Genetics. view more (2009-03-23)
Surgery league tables could threaten access to care
Plans to publish details of the performance of individual surgeons could lead to a reluctance to treat riskier patients, according to a letter in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-04-16)
Artificial intelligence helps diagnose cardiac infections
Mayo Clinic researchers say that "teachable software" designed to mimic the human brain may help them diagnose cardiac infections without an invasive exam. view more (2009-09-14)
Call for faster action to improve NHS cardiac rehab services
Major failings in National Health Service provision for patients recovering from heart attacks and surgery are revealed in a new report on rehabilitation services in England launched today. (Feb 3rd) view more (2005-01-27)
Genes identified that protect against heart damage from chemotherapy
A series of genes that protect cells from the powerful, common chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin has been identified by researchers working to understand how the drug also can destroy the heart. view more (2007-12-04)
Protein may predict heart attack and early death, not stroke
People with high levels of a protein called C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker for inflammation in the blood, may be at higher risk for heart attack and death but not stroke, according to a study published in the October 20, 2009, print issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2009-10-20)
Study suggests newer breast cancer drug may protect heart
By uncovering how one breast cancer drug protects the heart and another does not, Duke University Medical Center researchers believe they may have opened up a new way to screen drugs for possible heart-related side effects and to develop new drugs. view more (2007-06-11)
Mental health intervention urged for heart patients
Heart patients are particularly vulnerable to depression and should be screened, and if necessary treated, to improve their recovery and overall health, according to a scientific advisory issued Monday by the American Heart Association and co-authored by a Yale School of Public Health researcher. view more (2008-09-30)
Saliva can help diagnose heart attack, study shows
Early diagnosis of a heart attack may now be possible using only a few drops of saliva and a new nano-bio-chip, a multi-institutional team led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin reported at a recent meeting of the American Association for Dental Research. view more (2008-04-17)
ESC Congress 2004: Austrian First Aid Defibrillation-Campaign shows advantages of multiprofessional solution
More than 75% in the target group aged 40 to 60 years show awareness - Nine survivors without neurological deficits out of 37 first-aid-defibrillator uses view more (2004-08-31)
Pitt team finds molecule that regulates heart size by using zebrafish screening model
Using zebrafish, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified and described an enzyme inhibitor that allows them to increase the number of cardiac progenitor cells and therefore influence the size of the developing heart. view more (2009-07-06)
Penn study finds ICD devices offer heart patients life-saving benefits
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine have discovered that implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) — electric monitoring devices that deliver a lifesaving shock in the event of a cardiac arrest — help patients with heart problems live longer more active lives. view more (2007-04-09)
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)
Ethnicity affects timing and access to cardiac care
Ethnicity is having a significant impact on timely access to cardiac care in Calgary and likely across Canada as the population's ethnic diversity grows, according to new research led by a team from the University of Calgary. view more (2009-05-06)
Therapeutic hypothermia is promising strategy to minimize tissue damage
Recognition of the benefits of cooling strategies to protect the brain and spinal cord after traumatic injury has led to a wealth of cutting edge research, prime examples of which are featured in a special hypothermia issue of Journal of Neurotrauma. view more (2009-03-20)
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)
Fatigue is an important factor in serious road crashes
Fatigue, especially when combined with alcohol, presents a particularly high risk of road crashes resulting in death or serious injury, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Data from the French Ministry of Transport was used to investigate the role of fatigue in serious, single-vehicle crashes during 1994-8. About 10% of the crashes were related to... view more...

Novel Non-Invasive Imaging Technology May Allow Precise Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease, Treatment Tailoring
A study focusing on a new non-invasive imaging technology—one that may enable more precise diagnosis of coronary artery disease and treatment tailoring in individual patients—was released by Israeli researchers at SNM's 53rd Annual Meeting June 3—7 in San Diego. view more (2006-06-08)
