Automimmune response more common in people with severe coronary heart disease
The development of severe coronary artery disease may be part of a systemic autoimmune response, suggests research in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2002-01-15)
Predicting the risk of death in patients with known coronary artery disease
The extent of anatomic coronary artery disease, along with age and the presence of diabetes, is a strong predictor of subsequent death due to any cause and due to coronary artery disease (CAD). view more (2006-02-14)
Genetic faults in heart enzyme increase risk of heart attack and stroke
Genetic faults, which produce an excess of a powerful enzyme, increase the risk of coronary artery disease and consequently, a heart attack, shows research in Heart. But the faulty genes do not speed up artery narrowing, the cause of acute coronary artery disease, the research shows. Over 850 men with stable coronary artery disease in their 50s... view more...

The risk of waiting for coronary artery bypass surgery
The relative urgency of coronary artery bypass grafting is still under debate, and in this issue of CMAJ, Légaré and colleagues evaluated safety among patients with stenosis of the left main coronary artery. view more (2005-08-16)
SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN DEATH RATE AFTER BYPASS SURGERY FOR PEOPLE WITH ANAEMIA (p 1749)
Anaemic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery could have up to a five-fold increased risk of death in the days after surgery compared with patients who have normal haemoglobin concentrations, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. People with anaemia (individuals with a haemoglobin concentration of... view more... (2002-05-15)
Couch potatoes who start exercising after 40 can still stave off heart disease
Couch potatoes who start exercising in later life can still significantly cut their chances of developing coronary artery disease, suggests a small study published ahead of print in Heart. view more (2006-07-18)
ACE inhibitors may reduce death, heart attack and stroke in patients with coronary artery disease
ngiotension-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, medications commonly used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), may reduce cardiovascular risk and the risk of death in patients with coronary artery disease. view more (2006-04-11)
Obese patients with coronary artery disease can consider bariatric surgery
Mayo Clinic researchers report in the September edition of Mayo Clinic Proceedings that bariatric surgery is a safe option for treating obese patients who have coronary artery disease. view more (2005-09-13)
MDCT accurate in detecting stenosis in calcified coronary artery plaque
Multidetector CT angiography can accurately predict the presence of obstructive disease (stenosis) in small and moderate-sized calcified coronary artery plaque (CAP), and is even fairly accurate in diagnosing large and heavily calcified CAP, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in... view more...

Stent Or Bypass Surgery For Coronary Artery Disease?
An international study in this week`s issue of THE LANCET highlights how patients given bypass surgery for blocked or narrowed coronary arteries are less likely to require further intervention than patients given stent-assisted balloon angioplasty. The study also reported an apparent survival benefit for patients given bypass surgery over those... view more... (2002-09-25)
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)
Interventions can Improve Lifespan in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
A recent study using 2,467 patients with established coronary artery disease concluded that when medical facilities select interventional methods to lower cholesterol they experience improved morbidity and mortality in patients with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) - the leading cause of death in theUS. view more (2004-11-10)
Despite No Gender Difference in Adverse Drug Reactions, Women are Treated Less Frequently than Men with Statins, Aspirin and Beta- Blockers
Women and men experience a similar prevalence of adverse drug reactions in the treatment of coronary artery disease; however, women are significantly less likely than their male counterparts to be treated with statins, aspirin, and beta-blockers according to a new study by researchers at Rush University Medical Center. view more (2008-03-05)
NEW DEVICE COULD REVOLUTIONISE CORONARY-ARTERY BYPASS SURGERY
A new surgical device that has been used by a Swiss medical team could greatly reduce the time and skill required for coronary-artery bypass surgery, conclude authors of a fast-track research letter available from THE LANCET's website today (Monday 19 March 2001). Friedrich Eckstein, Thierry Carrel, and colleagues from University Hospital, Bern,... view more... (2001-03-16)
CT angiography highly accurate, multicenter trials show
Computed tomography (CT) angiography is as accurate as an invasive angiogram in detecting coronary artery disease, according to the findings of the first two prospective multicenter 64-slice scanner trials presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2007-11-27)
Different treatment options in chronic coronary artery disease
Sometimes cardiologists and cardiac surgeons can agree! There is often disagreement between the professions of cardiology and cardiac surgery about the proper therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD)-and this can harm the patient. view more (2009-04-28)
Autopsy findings suggest end of decline in coronary disease rates
Autopsies of individuals in one Minnesota County suggest that the decades-long decline in the rate of coronary artery disease may have ended and possibly reversed after 2000, according to a report in the February 11 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-02-12)
High intracoronary attenuation improves accuracy of 64-slice CT-CA
High intracoronary attenuation significantly improves diagnostic accuracy in 64-slice CT-CA of the coronary arteries. view more (2007-05-07)
Fat cells around coronary arteries may play a role in heart disease
The fat cells that surround coronary arteries may play a central and previously unrecognized role in development of cardiovascular disease, according to a study by University of Iowa researchers. view more (2006-04-05)
Erectile dysfunction may signal early atherosclerosis
Erectile dysfunction may be a sign that coronary artery disease is developing, even in men without typical risk factors, according to a new study in the Oct. 18, 2005, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. view more (2005-10-12)
