U of M study: Early treatment can reverse heart damage
University of Minnesota researchers have discovered that treating people who have early cardiovascular abnormalities, but show no symptoms of cardiovascular disease, can slow progression and even reverse damage to the heart and blood vessels. view more (2007-08-28)
Vitamins E and C supplements not effective for prevention of cardiovascular disease in men
Neither vitamin E nor vitamin C supplements reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events in a large, long-term study of male physicians, according to a study in the November 12 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-11-10)
Antioxidants show no clear benefit against cardiovascular events, death in high-risk women
Vitamins C and E and beta carotene, either individually or in combination, do not appear to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events or death among women at high risk for heart disease. view more (2007-08-14)
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)
Clemson chemists discover new way antioxidants fight debilitating diseases
Cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are often linked to DNA damage that occurs when metal ions in the body such as iron and copper produce reactive oxygen compounds that damage human cells. view more (2007-08-20)
Study shows direct link between leptin and obesity-related cardiovascular disease
Obese people who don't have high cholesterol or diabetes might think they're healthy - despite the extra pounds. view more (2008-11-11)
Overweight male teens with normal blood pressures showing signs of heart damage
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Even while their blood pressures are still normal, overweight male teens may have elevated levels of a hormone known to increase pressures as well as early signs of heart damage, researchers say. view more (2009-06-02)
Angiotensin receptor blockers are lower incidence, progression of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have, for the first time, found that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)-a particular class of anti-hypertensive medicines-are associated with a striking decrease in the occurrence and progression of dementia. Data from this study will be presented this weekend (July 27) at the 2008... view more... (2008-07-28)
Newly discovered molecule promises better treatments for heart attacks, heart surgery
Scientists have discovered a compound that could lead to new treatments for heart attacks as well as methods to protect hearts during open heart surgery and other situations in which blood flow to the heart is interrupted. view more (2008-09-12)
Anti-cancer drug prevents, reverses cardiovascular damage in mouse model of premature aging disorder
An experimental anti-cancer drug can prevent -- and even reverse -- potentially fatal cardiovascular damage in a mouse model of progeria, a rare genetic disorder that causes the most dramatic form of human premature aging, National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers reported today. view more (2008-10-07)
Understanding how oxidative stress impairs endothelial progenitor cell function
Although its been over a decade since endothelial progenitor cells or EPCs, cells that circulate in the blood repairing and replacing the cells that line blood vessels, were identified, the field is still evolving. view more (2008-11-26)
Heart injury due to carbon monoxide poisoning increases long-term risk of death
Of patients who were hospitalized and treated for moderate to severe carbon monoxide poisoning, those who sustained heart muscle injury due to their exposure had an increased risk of death during a mid-point follow-up period of 7.6 years compared to those without injury to the heart. view more (2006-01-25)
Corporate downsizing may pose severe health risks
Corporate downsizing (reduction in personnel) may increase sickness absence and the risk of death from cardiovascular disease in employees who keep their jobs, shows new research from Finland. This study will be available on bmj.com on Monday 23 February 2004. Researchers identified 22,430 municipal employees in four Finnish towns, who kept their... view more... (2004-02-20)
Low vitamin D levels associated with death from cardiovascular, all causes
Individuals with lower blood levels of vitamin D appear to have an increased risk of death overall and from cardiovascular causes, according to a report in the June 23 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-06-24)
Estrogen can reduce stroke damage by inactivating protein
Estrogen can halt stroke damage by inactivating a tumor-suppressing protein known to prevent many cancers, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-07-17)
Two-fold higher mortality from cardiovascular disease in older people with diabetes
Diabetes is on the rise, likely to affect twice as many people worldwide in 2030 as today, and a serious global health problem, because, despite available treatments, most people with diabetes develop serious long-term health problems. view more (2006-10-17)
Heart patients are often not treated in accordance with guidelines
Many patients with cardiovascular disease are not given adequate drug therapy. This is the result of an international study. In the current edition of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International, Uwe Zeimer et al. present the German results of this prospective, one-year survey. view more (2008-11-24)
Further Evidence That Vitamin Supplements Do Not Protect Against Cardiovascular Disease (p 2017)
A meta-analysis of randomised trials in this week's issue of THE LANCET provides further evidence that antioxidant vitamins are not effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Supplements containing vitamin A compounds could actually contribute to an increase in cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality. Some previous studies have... view more... (2003-06-11)
Pregnant smokers raise their child's risk of stroke, heart attack
Women who smoke during pregnancy can cause permanent vascular damage in their children — increasing their risk for stroke and heart attack. view more (2007-03-05)
Aspirin reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, though effects differ between men and women
An analysis of previous studies indicates that use of aspirin significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in women and in men, due to reducing the risk of stroke in women and reducing the risk of heart attack in men. view more (2006-01-18)
