Study: Women with hard to diagnose chest pain symptoms at higher risk for cardiovascular events
Many physicians are presented with the following scenario: a woman comes into the office complaining of chest pain, undergoes a stress test to evaluate the chest pain, and the stress test results suggest coronary artery disease, a condition in which plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. view more (2009-05-12)
Still puzzling: Best care for the frail and elderly with coronary artery disease
A new study from Duke University Medical Center finds that patients treated solely with medications after suffering from chest pain, heart attack or coronary artery disease are more likely to die during the first year following their initial hospitalization. view more (2008-07-21)
Left main coronary artery disease can double or treble heart risk in siblings
German researchers have found that heart disease of the left main coronary artery is often an inherited condition that clusters in families. Moreover, they discovered that initially healthy siblings of a person with the condition were 2.5 times more likely to go on to develop some form of heart disease than were siblings of a patient with heart... view more...

Aspirin may be less effective heart treatment for women than men
A new study shows that aspirin therapy for coronary artery disease is four times more likely to be ineffective in women compared to men with the same medical history. view more (2007-04-30)
Early Intervention Could Halve Angina Rate For People At Moderate Risk Of Heart Attack
Authors of a UK study published on THE LANCET's website today, Sunday 1 September-www.thelancet.com-suggest that angina could be halved if an interventional approach (such as balloon angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery) is used to treat people soon after they have been identified as being at moderate risk of heart attack. Considerable... view more... (2002-08-29)
Are certain congenital birth defects and heart disease linked?
The study implicates homocysteine, a chemical by-product of human metabolism. Homocysteine is particularly important for cell growth and is regulated by enzymes, the activities of which are partly genetically determined, and partly affected by diet, including the levels of vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid in the blood. view more (1999-11-15)
Study highlights benefits of drug-eluting stents in coronary revascularisation (pp 558, 583)
A pooled analysis of 11 previously published trials provides evidence that drug-eluting stents (DES)-increasingly used in coronary angioplasty-have benefits over bare-metal stents (BMS) by reducing the need for later revascularisation and reducing the risk of cardiac events. However the study did not find that the use of DES reduced the risk of... view more... (2004-08-11)
NEW THERAPEUTIC APPROACH TO CORONARY STENTING (p 2037)
Patients given stent implantation to treat coronary heart disease could benefit from a new therapeutic approach with the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor eptifibatide, concludes research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors are potent inhibitors of blood clotting. They have previously... view more... (2000-12-13)
Bypass surgery tops angioplasty for sickest heart patients
Patients with severe coronary artery disease live longer if they receive coronary artery bypass surgery as their initial treatment instead of artery-opening angioplasty or heart medications. view more (2006-10-02)
Diabetes under-diagnosed in coronary artery disease patients
On the occasion of World Diabetes Day, 14 November 2003, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) highlights the need for improved diagnosis of diabetes in coronary artery disease patients France, 14 November 2003: Preliminary findings from the ESC Euro Heart Survey entitled 'Diabetes and the Heart' suggest that diabetes is not only grossly... view more...

New research suggests hearts are experts at self-preservation
Bristol researchers have identified a heart protection mechanism in mice that surgeons and cardiologists may be able to exploit to improve treatments for patients in future. view more (2007-10-01)
Low-risk balloon trip to the heart
Patients who are at high-risk of having a heart attack or who require a bypass must undergo a coronary angiography. A new balloon catheter, being presented at the MEDTEC exhibition, allows this to be done more swiftly, more easily and with less risk than previous examinations. Calcium and cholesterol can block coronary blood vessels. The thicker... view more... (2002-03-05)
Novel Non-Invasive Imaging Technology May Allow Precise Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease, Treatment Tailoring
A study focusing on a new non-invasive imaging technology—one that may enable more precise diagnosis of coronary artery disease and treatment tailoring in individual patients—was released by Israeli researchers at SNM's 53rd Annual Meeting June 3—7 in San Diego. view more (2006-06-08)
New research suggests heart bypass surgery increases risk of Alzheimer's disease
Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers have discovered that patients who have either coronary artery bypass graft surgery or coronary angioplasty are at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-08-26)
Hormone therapy for prostate cancer patients with heart conditions linked to increased death risk
Men with coronary artery disease-induced congestive heart failure or heart attack who receive hormone therapy before or along with radiation therapy for treatment of prostate cancer have an associated increased risk of death. view more (2009-08-26)
Hopkins study finds no 'cognitive decline' after use of heart-lung machine during bypass surgery
The use of a cardiopulmonary heart pump during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery does not significantly damage such high-level mental tasks as thinking, reasoning and remembering. view more (2005-11-10)
Heart disease risk in British men is overestimated
Current scoring methods over-predict the risk of death from coronary heart disease in British men, according to a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2003-11-26)
Vulnerable plaque may be easier to detect through new imaging technology
Research results indicate that optical coherence tomography (OCT), a newly evolving imaging method, may be the best tool available to detect vulnerable plaque in coronary arteries. The findings will be presented at the 20th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research... view more... (2008-10-13)
ESC Congress 2003: ESC Guidelines for Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI)
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a presentation 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 Background: The non-surgical treatment of severely narrowed coronary arteries (stenosis) has grown tremendously over... view more...

Researchers study multi-purpose drug
Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center today announced that they have launched a study to determine whether an experimental drug, rimonabant, can slow atherosclerosis, the fatty build-up in arteries that creates heart attack risk. view more (2006-02-02)
