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. Kidney-transplant patients are at an increased risk of... view more... (2003-05-30)

Consumption of fish oil does not appear to protect against abnormal heart rhythms
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 Sunderby Hospital on May 25. view more (2005-05-20)

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)
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)

Further Evidence That Hrt Does Not Protect Against Cardiovascular Disease (p 2001)
Results of a UK randomised trial published in this week's issue of THE LANCET provides further evidence that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not offer women protection against cardiovascular disease.

Hopkins study describes potentially fatal heart condition among young athletes
A Johns Hopkins study has provided the most comprehensive description to date of people most likely to develop a relatively rare heart condition, called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), known to be among the top causes of sudden cardiac death among young athletes. view more (2005-12-13)
Antidepressants may lower risk of recurrent heart attack in depressed heart attack patients
In depressed patients who have experienced a heart attack, use of antidepressants, especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), was associated with a reduced risk of death and recurrent heart attack, according to an article in the July issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2005-07-05)

Questions over drugs to prevent heart complications during surgery
Globally, about 100 million adults have non-cardiac surgery (ie. on any part of the body other than the heart) each year. Around 1% are at risk of cardiac complications, such as heart attacks and strokes, and about one in four will die each year. view more (2007-06-25)

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)
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)
