Vegan diet promotes atheroprotective antibodies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and cardiovascular diseases. The underlying causes are unknown, but researchers suspect that the disturbed balance of blood fats seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis may be part of the explanation. view more (2008-03-19)
Women's mortality rates for cardiovascular disease differ widely among hospitals
Women treated for cardiovascular disease at the nation's best- performing hospitals have a 39 percent lower risk-adjusted mortality rate when compared with women at the nation's poorest-performing hospitals. view more (2007-06-25)
Sexual dissatisfaction in postmenopausal women not linked to cardiovascular disease
Although sexual dysfunction in some men is predictive of cardiovascular disease, this association has never been examined in women. view more (2008-04-03)
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)
Screening program yields decline in sudden cardiac deaths in young athletes
The annual incidence of sudden cardiovascular deaths among young athletes has declined significantly since the start of a pre-participation cardiovascular screening program in northeast Italy. view more (2006-10-04)
DIFFERENCES IN RISK FACTORS, ATHEROSCLEROSIS, AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE BETWEEN ETHNIC GROUPS IN CANADA (pp 266, 279)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows that south Asians (people who originate from the Indian subcontinent) are more likely to suffer cardiovascular disease (CVD), compared with people of European and Chinese origin, even though Europeans have a greater burden of atherosclerosis, a major determinant of CVD. CVD rates vary greatly... view more... (2000-07-19)
'Healthy' individuals may be at risk for heart disease
In the face of a growing obesity epidemic in the United States, researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have new study results that indicate that how much fat a person has is not as important as where that fat is located when assessing risk for cardiovascular events and metabolic disease. view more (2008-09-08)
Quantity and frequency of drinking influence mortality risk
How much and how often people drink - not just the average amount of alcohol they consume over time - independently influence the risk of death from several causes, according to a new study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). view more (2008-03-05)
Health risks begin in overweight range, BMI doesn't tell whole story
Being overweight is a health concern, and using only body mass index (BMI) to determine weight classification may not give an accurate picture of a person's health, according to an advisory published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-06-09)
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)
Survivors of childhood Hodgkin's lymphoma at higher risk of future health problems
Adults who survived childhood Hodgkin's Lymphoma should be especially vigilant about cancer and cardiovascular screenings, according to researchers from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and colleagues. view more (2008-06-02)
Simple test helps predict heart attack risk
The use of common and readily available screening tests-like the ankle brachial index (ABI)-along with traditional risk scoring systems-such as the Framingham Risk Score-has the potential to prevent devastating heart attacks in thousands of individuals who are not originally thought to be at high risk (according to Framingham alone), say... view more...

Study confirms intensive treatment of diabetic patients significantly reduces heart disease
New study results confirm, for the first time, that intensive treatment of diabetic patients results in a significantly lower risk of heart disease. In fact, it can cut the risk of cardiovascular disease nearly in half. view more (2005-06-17)
Double cardiovascular benefit for people with chronic kidney disease
New research, published today in the Journal of American Society of Nephrology by The George Institute for International Health in Sydney, has found that lowering blood pressure protects stroke victims with Chronic Kidney Disease from further strokes or heart attacks. view more (2007-10-05)
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)
Lead in bone associated with increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease in men
Growing evidence shows that exposure to lead in the environment is associated with cardiovascular disease, including increased risk of hypertension. view more (2009-09-10)
Women less likely than men to change habits that increase heart-disease risk
Smoking, eating fattening foods and not getting enough exercise are all lifestyle habits that can lead to poor health and cardiovascular disease - more so if you have a family history. view more (2007-09-11)
Journal Sleep: OSA increasingly associated with cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease can pose a threat to both men and women. While a diet rich in fat and high in cholesterol as well as lack of exercise can contribute to cardiovascular disease, a study published in the March 1st issue of the journal SLEEP finds that people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at an increased risk of having cardiovascular... view more...

High insulin levels impair intestinal metabolic function
Nutritional scientists at the University of Alberta are the first to establish a connection between high insulin levels and dysfunction of intestinal lipid metabolism in an animal model. view more (2007-04-25)
