Treating chest pain in the average woman tops $1 million over lifetime
Treating chest pain associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) could cost a woman more than $1 million during her lifetime; and even the chest pain associated with mild artery blockage (nonobstructive CAD) could reach $750,000 for an average woman. view more (2006-08-23)
'Disquieting' slow down in heart disease deaths among under 55s
The fall in deaths from heart disease among younger Britons is slowing down, pointing to a "disquieting" trend, indicates research published ahead of print in the journal Heart. view more (2007-07-19)
Warning over heart patients denied most appropriate treatment
Thousands of patients with heart disease may be denied the best chance of survival because of uncertainty over the most suitable treatment option, warns a cardiac surgeon in this week's BMJ. view more (2007-03-23)
1-YEAR OUTCOMES AFTER INVASIVE VS NON-INVASIVE HEART-DISEASE TREATMENT (P 9)
Previously, the Fast Revascularisation during Instability in Coronary Artery Disease (FRISC) II investigators showed that the drug dalteparin lowered the risk of death, myocardial infarction, and need for revascularisation in patients with unstable coronary artery disease. The question was raised, however, of whether myocardial infarction was a... view more... (2000-06-28)
FAMILY HISTORY OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL OFTEN NOT DETECTED UNTIL MIDDLE AGE
Families with a history of high cholesterol are being denied early treatment to reduce the risk of coronary events because they often remain undetected until middle age, according to a study in this week?s BMJ. Using specialist registers and general practice records, researchers in Oxfordshire compared the number of families identified as having... view more... (2000-07-11)
Eye blood vessel width may indicate coronary heart death risk
The calibre of the small veins and arteries in the eye may be a good indicator of a middle aged person's chances of dying from coronary heart disease, suggests research published ahead of print in Heart. view more (2006-07-13)
Bypass surgery has long-term benefits for children with Kawasaki disease
Coronary artery bypass surgery provides long-term benefits for children whose hearts and blood vessels are damaged by Kawasaki disease, Japanese researchers report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-06-23)
Same-day coronary angiography and surgery safe for many patients
Mayo Clinic researchers discovered it is safe -- and much more convenient and less costly -- for many patients to undergo coronary angiography and elective valve surgery on the same day, it is reported in the current issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. view more (2007-05-24)
UW launches study testing adult stem cells for heart damage repair
The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is among the first medical centers in the country taking part in a novel clinical trial investigating if a subject's own stem cells can treat a form of severe coronary artery disease. view more (2007-03-13)
Mental stress effects on heart more common than previously known
Even when heart disease patients can pass stress tests done on a treadmill or with chemical stressors after treatment, their hearts may still suffer silent ischemia during mental stress. view more (2006-03-07)
Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent is cost effective vs. bypass surgery
An independent analysis of a clinical trial comparing the cost-effectiveness of the CYPHER® Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent vs. bypass surgery suggests that treatment with the CYPHER® Stent offers a potential cost-savings over bypass surgery. view more (2005-10-21)
New study finds a positive association between periodontal disease and coronary heart disease
Researchers found an increased risk of coronary heart disease for people below the age of 60 who have more than four millimeters of alveolar bone loss (the bone that holds the teeth in the mouth) from periodontal disease. view more (2006-09-27)
Study finds coronary procedure adds no benefit over 'optimal medical therapy' alone
Percutaneous coronary intervention plus optimal medical therapy does not improve outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease, compared with optimal medical therapy alone. view more (2007-03-28)
Efficacy of stents is improved when their placement is determined by arterial blood flow measurement
Reperfusion therapy in the form of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is now the recommended first treatment for victims of acute myocardial infarction. view more (2009-02-09)
Pairing medical therapy with coronary intervention fails to reduce heart disease deaths
Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) involve opening partially blocked arteries to improve blood flow to the heart. These procedures are performed more than 1 million times a year. view more (2007-03-27)
Women and heart attack: Study finds failure to recognize symptoms, failure to treat appropriately
The gender gap is alive and well in heart disease, a new international study finds, with women differing from men on everything from symptoms to treatment in both heart attack and severe chest pain. view more (2008-05-07)
Study finds African Americans at greater risk after PCI
A study from one of the largest public health systems in the country has found that African American patients experienced significantly worse outcomes after angioplasty and stenting than patients of other races, though researchers are not sure why. view more (2009-05-11)
Anti-depressant use associated with increased risk for heart patients
In a surprising finding, patients with coronary artery disease who take commonly used antidepressant drugs may be at significantly higher risk of death, Duke University Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2006-03-06)
When statins aren't enough: New trial drug points to better management of coronary heart disease
Despite widespread use of cholesterol-lowering drugs, a significant number of cardiac patients continue to suffer heart attacks and stroke. Researchers theorize that high levels of an enzyme found in coronary plaques may be to blame, by making plaques more likely to rupture and block blood flow. view more (2008-05-09)
Inflammatory system genes linked to cognitive decline after heart surgery
Variants of two genes involved in the inflammatory system appear to protect patients from suffering a decline in mental function following heart surgery. view more (2007-05-02)
