Cerebral embolic protection and carotid stent systems
High-risk surgical patients in community hospital settings can safely benefit from the use of new embolus-removing and stent-inserting systems, according to a study presented today at the American College of Cardiology's Innovation in Intervention: i2 Summit in New Orleans, La. view more (2007-03-27)
Late angioplasty after heart attack no better than drug therapy
About one-third of heart attack patients do not receive treatment to open blocked arteries within the recommended 12-hour timeframe after a heart attack. view more (2006-11-15)
Risk and outcome similar for bypass surgery, drug-eluting stents
Drug-eluting stent therapy and bypass surgery for coronary artery disease have about the same risk for a major cardiac event within 30 days after the procedures, researchers reported at the American Heart Association's 8th Annual Conference on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology. view more (2007-04-20)
Waist-to-hip ratio may better predict cardiovascular risk than body mass index
In a study to be published in the Aug. 21 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, investigators at UT Southwestern Medical Center found that people with a larger waist-to-hip ratio may be at increased risk for heart disease. view more (2007-08-14)
British hospitals need clinical ethicists
"We need to introduce clinical ethicists in hospitals in the United Kingdom," says a researcher in medical ethics in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-03-30)
Mitochondrial dysfunction and redox signaling in atrial tachyarrhythmia
Researchers at the University Hospital of Magdeburg (Germany) have discovered that atrial tachycardia is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress followed by the activation of the NF-kB signalling pathway with induction of NF-kB target gene expression in atrial tissue. view more (2008-04-24)
Survey finds care for Europe's adults with congenital heart disease is inadequate
The provision of care in Europe for adults born with heart disease is inadequate and there are too few specialist centres to support their ever-increasing numbers. view more (2006-04-26)

Proton pump inhibitors increase risk of heart attacks for patients on common cardiac drug
Patients taking the common cardiac drug clopidogrel following a heart attack are at a significantly higher risk of a recurrence if they are also taking widely used acid-lowering medications called proton pump inhibitors, a new study published online in CMAJ has found (http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/rapidpdf/cmaj.082001). view more (2009-01-29)
Growth patterns into childhood reveal risk of coronary heart disease later in life
The risk of developing coronary heart disease as an adult is more strongly related to childhood growth patterns than body weight at any particular point in development. view more (2005-10-27)
Explaining trends in heart attack: prevention has improved, mortality rates are down, hospitalisation remains the same
A report in Circulation from the Framingham Heart Study, which compared acute myocardial infarction (AMI) incidence in 9824 men and women over four decades, has proposed an explanation for the apparent paradox of improved prevention, falling mortality rates but stable rates of hospitalisation. view more (2009-03-12)
Successful prevention of sudden death by ICD has implications for heart failure
Researchers believe a device that treats electrical malfunctions in the heart is so effective at preventing sudden death that very ill patients are living long enough to develop heart failure. view more (2006-06-13)
Most hospital performance measures for heart failure not linked to improved patient outcomes
Four of five hospital performance measures for heart failure do not appear to accurately reflect the quality of care provided. view more (2007-01-03)
MSU researcher links cholesterol crystals to cardiovascular attacks
For the first time ever, a Michigan State University researcher has shown cholesterol crystals can disrupt plaque in a patient's cardiovascular system, causing a heart attack or stroke. view more (2009-03-27)
ESC Congress 2004: Brazilian Study suggests intramyocardial injection of cells from bone marrow might be an alternative for heart transplantation in end-stage heart failure due to coronary disease
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the world and patients with end-stage ischemic heart failure carry the highest morbid-mortality rate. Although heart transplant improves the outcomes of selected patients, the donor heart availability has limited its widespread utilization. Autologous bone marrow... view more... (2004-08-30)
Enrollment in cancer trials not linked to better health outcomes (p 263)
The widely held view that people with cancer who participate in clinical trials have better treatment outcomes is disputed by US authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Less than 5% of adults with cancer are enrolled into clinical trials. Steven Joffe from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, USA, and colleagues reviewed 26... view more... (2004-01-21)

IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference 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: Clot-busters - do they work for all? Aspirin is given to patients... view more... (2003-09-01)
Study finds limitations in publicly reported quality-of-care indicators for heart-failure patients
Academic researchers reported that all five standard hospital-based performance measures used to gauge quality of care for hospitalized heart failure patients may not be the best benchmarks since none were significant predictors of patient mortality during the critical first 60 to 90 days immediately following hospital discharge. view more (2007-01-03)
