Hospital-based smoking cessation program after heart attack adds to success
Hospital-based smoking cessation programs, along with referrals to cardiac rehabilitation, appear to be associated with increased rates of quitting smoking following heart attack, according to a report in the Oct. 13, 2008, issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-10-14)
Telemonitoring: A bridge to personalized medicine
An increasing number of heart failure patients are treated with a number of complex devices, i.e. cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). view more (2009-09-01)

Irregular heart rhythm before or after cardiac catheterization linked to risk of death
Certain heart attack patients who experience a rapid, abnormal heart rhythm before or after a coronary artery intervention or stent placement have a significantly higher risk of death within 90 days of the procedure. view more (2009-05-06)
Whole-genome study at Johns Hopkins reveals a new gene associated with abnormal heart rhythm
Using a new genomic strategy that has the power to survey the entire human genome and identify genes with common variants that contribute to complex diseases, researchers at Johns Hopkins, together with scientists from Munich, Germany, and the Framingham Heart Study, U.S.A., have identified a gene that may predispose some people to abnormal heart... view more...

ESC Congress 2003: Comparison of efficacy of the implantable defibrillator in Europe and in the United States
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology Sudden cardiac death from ventricular tachyarrhythmias is the leading cause of death in Europe and the US.... view more...

Comprehensive cardiogenetic testing for families of sudden unexplained death victims can save lives
Relatives of a young person who dies suddenly should always be referred for cardiological and genetic examination in order to identify if they too are at risk of sudden death. view more (2009-05-26)
Coronary calcium distribution tied to heart attack risk
A new calcium scoring method may better predict a person's risk of heart attack, according to a new multicenter study published in the June issue of the journal Radiology. Calcium coverage scoring takes into account not only the amount of calcified plaque build-up in the coronary arteries, but also its distribution. view more (2008-05-27)
Continuous chest compression-CPR improved cardiac arrest survival in Arizona
The chance of surviving a cardiac arrest outside a hospital was found to be twice as high when bystanders performed continuous chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth breathing than when bystanders performed standard CPR. view more (2009-11-16)
Early heart attack therapy with bone marrow extract improves cardiac function
A UCSF study for the treatment of heart failure after heart attack found that the extract derived from bone marrow cells is as effective as therapy using bone marrow stem cells for improving cardiac function, decreasing the formation of scar tissue and improving cardiac pumping capacity after heart attack. view more (2009-06-30)
Hopkins scientists ID 10 genes associated with a risk factor for sudden cardiac death
One minute, he's a strapping 40-year-old with an enviable cholesterol level, working out on his treadmill. view more (2009-03-23)
Researchers examine developing hearts in chickens to find solutions for human heart abnormalities
When it is head versus heart, the heart comes first. The heart is the first organ to develop and is critical in supplying blood to the rest of the body. view more (2009-01-22)
ESC Congress 2003: Watch football and die?
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology ESC Congress 2003: Our study shows an increase in out-of-hospital sudden cardiac deaths in the adult... view more...

Damage inflicted during cardiac attacks more widespread than previously thought, MSU researchers find
Cholesterol crystals released in the bloodstream during a cardiac attack or stroke can damage artery linings much further away from the site of the attack, leaving survivors at greater risk than previously thought. view more (2008-11-12)
Researchers link two more genes to sudden infant death syndrome
Recent discoveries at Mayo Clinic added two more cardiac genes to the list of potential links to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), increasing the possibility that genetic defects of the heart may cause up to 15 percent of SIDS cases. view more (2006-05-19)
Radiologists Can Dramatically Lower Cardiac CT Radiation Dose in Some Patients
Radiologists can now lower the radiation dose delivered by cardiac CT angiography by 39% in adult patients weighing 185 pounds or less, according to a study performed at the University of Erlangen in Erlangen, Germany. view more (2009-04-06)
High-dose anticlotting drug cuts heart attack, death risk in half
Pretreatment with double-dose anticlotting medication just before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) cuts the combined risk of heart attack and cardiac death by half. view more (2007-05-14)
Image Velocity Estimation In Echocardiographs
BACKGROUND There are many instances in which a subject in an image is moving, and it is necessary to track the subject as it moves from frame to frame; this movement is known as optical flow or image velocity. Such measurement of optical flow may be done to improve the image encoding efficiency, or allow enhancement of the display of the movement... view more... (2005-04-26)
