SPIRIT IV trial shows everolimus stent sets new standard for event-free survival
Late-breaking data from SPIRIT IV, a large-scale multi-center study of nearly 4,000 patients in the U.S., shows that an everolimus-eluting stent demonstrated enhanced safety and efficacy in the treatment of de novo native coronary artery lesions when compared to a paclitaxel-eluting stent, and showed that "low late loss" may be achieved... view more...

Depression and anxiety can double chances of heart ailments
Matters of the mind can affect matters of the heart. A new study by McGill University and Université de Montréal researchers has found that major anxiety and/or depression, can double a coronary artery disease patient's chances of repeated heart ailments. view more (2008-01-18)
Atrial fibrillation in endurance athletes still poses problems for sports cardiologists
The fulfilment which so many people increasingly derive from competitive sports and endurance training comes with a real - even if rare - twist. view more (2009-06-22)
Shortness of breath without chest pain can signify the presence of high risk heart disease
While most people know that chest pain can signify the presence of heart disease, it is less well known that shortness of breath can also be a serious cardiac symptom. view more (2005-11-03)
Long-term aspirin use associated with reduced risk of dying in women
Women who take low to moderate doses of aspirin have a reduced risk of death from any cause, and especially heart disease-related deaths. view more (2007-03-27)
ESC Congress 2004: Recommendations on screening and sports participation in cardiovascular disease (study group report)
This presentation deals with the need for a common European programme for pre-participation screening of young competitive aimed to prevent sudden death during sports performance. view more (2004-08-29)
New insights into deadly heart rhythm disorder
Every year, 300,000 Americans die suddenly when, out of the blue, a "storm" of electrical activity arises within their heart muscle - so violent and so abrupt that their hearts just stop beating. These tragic and dramatic "sudden cardiac deaths" strike people young and old, often without warning. view more (2007-12-21)
Guideline helps predict outcome in comatose survivors after CPR
Certain tests can predict with great accuracy whether a person in a coma after CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) will have a poor outcome. view more (2006-07-25)
New genetic link between cardiac arrhythmias and thyroid dysfunction identified
Genes previously known to be essential to the coordinated, rhythmic electrical activity of cardiac muscle -- a healthy heartbeat -- have now also been found to play a key role in thyroid hormone (TH) biosynthesis, according to Weill Cornell Medical College researchers. view more (2009-09-21)
Rehabilitation significantly underused after heart attack and bypass surgery
Despite strong evidence that cardiac rehabilitation reduces disability and prolongs life, fewer than one in five people receive rehabilitation services after a heart attack or coronary bypass surgery, according to a Brandeis study in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2007-09-26)
Researchers develop innovative imaging system to study sudden cardiac arrest
A research team at Vanderbilt University has developed an innovative optical system to simultaneously image electrical activity and metabolic properties in the same region of a heart, to study the complex mechanisms that lead to sudden cardiac arrest. view more (2009-11-02)
Walking often and far reduces risks in heart patients
An exercise program that burns a lot of calories reduced cardiac risk factors better than standard cardiac rehabilitation in overweight coronary patients, researchers report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-05-12)
MRI is Better Than SPECT in Assessing Heart Damage in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Contrast-enhanced MRI is better than SPECT in detecting heart damage in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease that can lead to sudden death in young patients. view more (2005-08-08)
Mediterranean Diet Could Reduce Risk Of Coronary Artery Disease In Asian Populations (P 1455)
Results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how the adoption of a Mediterranean-style diet could help reduce cardiovascular disease in Asian populations, especially among Asian people living in western countries. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major public-health problem for south Asian people-however it is not explained by... view more... (2002-11-06)
Gladstone scientists identify key factors in heart cell creation
Scientists at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease have identified for the first time key genetic factors that drive the process of generating new heart cells. view more (2009-04-27)
Cooling treatment after cardiac arrest is cost-effective, Penn study shows
A brain-preserving cooling treatment called therapeutic hypothermia is a cost-effective way to improve outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, which claims the lives of more than 300,000 people each year in the United States and leaves thousands of others neurologically devastated. view more (2009-08-06)
When a child's heart stops, onset time of abnormal rhythms is crucial
Ventricular fibrillation, the life-threatening disordered heart rhythms that may accompany full cardiac arrest, occurs more frequently in children than commonly believed, according to a large national pediatric study. view more (2006-06-01)
Penn researchers discover 'modus operandi' of heart muscle protein
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered that a protein called leiomodin (Lmod) promotes the assembly of an important heart muscle protein called actin. What's more, Lmod directs the assembly of actin to form the pumping unit of the heart. The findings appear in this week's issue of Science. view more (2008-04-11)
Study verifies that cholesterol-associated gene variants can predict cardiovascular events
A study appearing in this week's New England Journal of Medicine confirms that a combination of gene variants previously associated with cholesterol levels does reflect patients' cholesterol levels and can signify increased risk of heart attack, stroke or sudden cardiac death. view more (2008-03-20)
Heart rhythm genes possible factors in SIDS
Nearly 10 percent of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) victims have mutations or variations in genes associated with potentially lethal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), according to two newly published studies involving Vanderbilt researchers. view more (2007-01-16)
