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)
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)
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)
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)
Doctors know best when it comes to treating chronic coronary artery disease
Medication, angioplasty or surgery? For some heart disease patients, there's no clear-cut choice. The key to getting the best care is to follow your individual doctor's advice, new research shows. view more (2006-08-30)
The Lancet publishes first clinical trial data of a fully bioabsorbable drug eluting stent
Data published today in The Lancet from ABSORB, the world's first clinical trial of a fully bioabsorbable drug eluting stent for the treatment of coronary artery disease, demonstrated no stent thrombosis, no clinically driven target lesion revascularizations (re-treatment of a diseased lesion), and a low (3.3 percent) rate of major adverse cardiac... view more...

Caffeine limits blood flow to heart muscle during exercise
In healthy volunteers, the equivalent of two cups of coffee reduced the body's ability to boost blood flow to the heart muscle in response to exercise, and the effect was stronger when the participants were in a chamber simulating high altitude. view more (2006-01-16)
Coronary angiography may improve outcomes for cardiac arrest patients
People who suffer cardiac arrests and then receive coronary angiography are twice as likely to survive without significant brain damage compared with those who don't have the procedure, according to a study by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers. view more (2009-04-01)
Breast screening shows that HRT can halve artery hardening
Hormone replacement therapy can halve breast artery hardening (calcification), and it’s an effect that can be picked up during a breast screen, reveals a study in the Journal of Medical Screening. view more (2002-04-02)
Early growth influences risk of heart disease in later life
A study in this week's BMJ reports a strong association between infant and childhood growth and the development of coronary heart disease in later life. These findings suggest that improvements in early growth could lead to substantial reductions in the incidence of the disease. The research team examined the infant and childhood growth of 357 men... view more... (2001-04-18)
Tiny Clue Reveals New Path Toward Heart Disease
Geneticists have discovered a new gene that may put individuals at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. view more (2007-03-23)
Why do more men die from heart disease than women?
In most industrialised countries more men die from coronary heart disease than women but what causes these sex differences? The most widely accepted explanation is that the hormone oestrogen protects women, yet a study in this week's BMJ suggests that sex differences are largely the result of environmental factors. If so, it may be possible to... view more... (2001-09-05)
New genomic markers associated with risk of heart disease and early heart attack
Five short reports published simultaneously by the journal Nature Genetics have for the first time identified clusters of genetic markers associated with heart attack and coronary heart disease. view more (2009-02-19)
Hypoxia training suppresses harmful cardiac nitric oxide production during heart attack
Researchers at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, Texas have demonstrated that, contrary to prevailing dogma, hypoxia can be remarkably beneficial to the heart. These discoveries, to be reported in the June 2008 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, may lead to a new paradigm to protect hearts of patients at... view more... (2008-05-27)
