Large burns open up a can of worms
Large burns can trigger cardiac problems and enhanced inflammatory and hypermetabolic responses in patients, a study in the online open access journal Critical Care suggests. Effective treatments may need to focus on these multiple aspects. view more (2007-08-23)
Study confirms cardiac surgery drug increases death rate
The largest study to date of a controversial cardiac surgery drug shows it increases death rates and damages kidney function, according Duke University Medical Center researchers. view more (2008-02-21)
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)

Charcoal-a Low-cost Option To Treat Oleander Poisoning (p 1935)
Research from Sri Lanka in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how repeated doses of charcoal could reduce deaths from oleander-seed poisoning by up to 70%. The authors of the study suggest that charcoal could also be effective in treating poisoning from drugs used in Western populations with similar effects to oleander-seed poisoning, such... view more...

PREOPERATIVE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT IMPROVES OUTCOME FOR HIGH-RISK PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEART SURGERY (p 696)
An immune-enhancing nutritional supplement conventionally used in critical care and cancer surgery could be beneficial for elderly and other high-risk patients requiring cardiac surgery, conclude authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Elderly patients and those with poor ventricular function have increased illness and death... view more... (2001-08-29)
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)
Kidney donation after cardiac death may expand donor pool, research shows
New research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center suggests that transplanting kidneys from donors who died after cardiac arrest - which used to be considered taboo - offers a promising approach to increase the donor pool. view more (2007-12-05)
Concurrent imaging of metabolic and electric signals in the heart
Cardiac rhythm disorders can result from disturbances in cardiac metabolism. These metabolic changes are tightly linked with specific cardiac electrophysiology (CEP) abnormalities, such as depressed excitability, impaired intra- and extracellular conductivities, wave propagation block, and alteration of conduction velocity, action potential... view more...

Mayo Clinic study finds risk of sudden cardiac death highest early after attack
People who survive a heart attack face the greatest risk of dying from sudden cardiac death (SCD) during the first month after leaving the hospital, according to a long-term community study by Mayo Clinic researchers of nearly 3,000 heart attack survivors. view more (2008-11-05)
Pacemakers Could Protect Patients With Epilepsy From Sudden Unexplained Death (pp 2157, 2212)
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how interruptions to the heart's rhythm is an under-reported consequence of epileptic seizures, and that the use of cardiac pacemakers by some epilepsy patients could play a future role in protecting against sudden unexplained death. view more (2004-12-15)
Fewer adverse cardiac events at one year
Late breaking results from the SPIRIT III trial, presented at TCT 2007, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, show that after 12 months, there were significantly fewer major adverse cardiac events (MACE) such as heart attacks, deaths from cardiac causes or repeat procedures (angioplasty or surgery) to clear the... view more...

Should we use echocardiography to screen young athletes?
Sudden and unexpected deaths in young competitive athletes are uncommon but highly visible events, which raise concern and ethical issues in both the lay public and medical community. view more (2008-09-02)
Gene mingling increases sudden death risk
A multi-national research team has discovered that two genetic factors converge to increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. view more (2009-10-13)
Regular Electrocardiograms May Help Physicians Identify Patients at Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death
QRS duration (QRSd) is one of several measures of heart function recorded during a routine electrocardiogram (ECG). view more (2009-08-28)
Malfunctioning kidneys may raise risk of sudden death in women
Women whose kidneys are poor at filtering impurities from the blood are at heightened risk of sudden cardiac death, according to a report published in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2008-04-08)
SIMPLE RISK INDEX FOR ASSESSING HEART-ATTACK OUTCOME (pp 1566, 1571)
Paramedical and clinical staff could use a straightforward risk-assessment model to estimate the likely outcome of heart-attack patients outside the hospital environment and immediately after admission to emergency departments, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. view more (2001-11-07)
Methadone Even at Therapeutic Levels Can Kill
Methadone is a possible cause of sudden cardiac death even when it isn't overdosed but is taken at therapeutic levels primarily for relief of chronic pain or drug addiction withdrawal, a new study by Oregon Health & Science University researchers suggests. view more (2008-01-10)
Drug used in coronary artery bypass graft surgery may increase risk of death
Aprotinin, a drug used for limiting blood loss in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, is associated with an increased risk of death during five years following the surgery. view more (2007-02-07)
