The benefits of reperfusion therapy
The wider use of reperfusion therapy in patients with heart attack (AMI) can save millions of lives in Europe. view more (2009-09-01)
Vitamin B niacin offers no extra benefit to statin therapy in seniors already diagnosed with CAD
The routine prescription of extended-release niacin, a B vitamin (1,500 milligrams daily), in combination with traditional cholesterol-lowering therapy offers no extra benefit in correcting arterial narrowing and diminishing plaque buildup in seniors who already have coronary artery disease, a new vascular imaging study from Johns Hopkins experts... view more...

Early use of statins after coronary syndromes does not reduce risk of heart attack, stroke or death
Beginning use of statins within 14 days of acute coronary syndromes (such as heart attack or unstable angina) does not decrease the risk of death, heart attack, or stroke, for up to 4 months, based on a meta-analysis of previously published studies. view more (2006-05-03)
Depression and cardiovascular disease
Depression has long had a popular link to cardiovascular disease and death. However, only during the last 15 years scientific evidence supporting this common wisdom has been available (Glassman et al., 2007a). Since the early 1990s studies have reported prevalences of major depression between 17% and 27% in hospitalized patients with coronary... view more... (2007-10-16)
High calcium level in arteries may signal serious heart attack risk
Researchers may be able to predict future severe cardiac events in patients with known, stable coronary artery disease (CAD) using coronary calcium scoring, according to a study published in the online edition of Radiology. view more (2009-07-28)
'Lite' low tar cigarettes impair blood flow as much as regular cigarettes
Low tar "lite" cigarettes impair blood flow through the heart as severely as regular cigarettes, reveals a small study published ahead of print in the journal Heart. view more (2007-05-15)
Potential for Adult Stem Cells to Repair Hearts Damaged by Severe Coronary Artery Disease Investigated by Rush Cardiologists
Rush University Medical Center is one of the first medical centers in the country, and currently the only site in Illinois, participating in a novel clinical trial to determine if a subject's own stem cells can treat a form of severe coronary artery disease. view more (2007-02-02)
Heart catheters do not benefit patients
Doctors should probably stop using pulmonary artery catheters because they do not benefit patients, say doctors from Australia in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-11-03)
Stanford analysis shows little difference in risk rates for angioplasty, bypass procedures
Patients with heart disease who undergo coronary angioplasty have an equivalent risk of death and heart attack as patients who undergo coronary bypass surgery, according to Stanford University School of Medicine researchers. view more (2007-10-16)
Star-shaped metal clip takes novel approach to closing artery punctures
A metal clip that closes an arterial puncture by drawing the wound edges together like a drawstring stitch is proving an easy and effective way to speed patient recovery after coronary interventions. view more (2005-09-12)
New system devised to guide doctors treating patients with symptomatic myocardial bridging
What type of intervention, if any, should cardiologists offer their patients who have a heart abnormality called myocardial bridging and symptoms of heart problems? view more (2008-06-26)
ESC Congress 2004: Critique of miracle check-up CT
It is currently not known whether detection of coronary calcium with CT will prompt lifestyle changes that reduce long term cardiac risk and, even more importantly, will improve outcome. Still, attracted in part by persuasive marketing by facilities offering CT examinations, there is increasing public demand for the procedure. view more (2004-08-31)
Fewer adverse cardiac events at one year
Late breaking results from the SPIRIT III trial, presented at TCT 2007, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, show that after 12 months, there were significantly fewer major adverse cardiac events (MACE) such as heart attacks, deaths from cardiac causes or repeat procedures (angioplasty or surgery) to clear the... view more...

Diabetes, depression together increase risk for heart patients
Having both depression and type 2 diabetes increases the risk of death for heart patients. Each factor had been known to increase the risk of heart disease deaths by itself, but together they're even more deadly. view more (2007-03-12)
Linked angina relates with gastroesophageal reflux diseases?
It is well known that non-cardiac chest pain is closely related to gastroesophageal reflux diseases (GERD). Chest pain of esophageal origin can be difficult to distinguish from that caused by cardiac ischemia because the distal esophagus and the heart share a common afferent vagal supply, and GERD can cause episodes of non-cardiac chest pain that... view more...

Older men with coronary heart disease missing out on statins
Older men with diagnosed coronary heart disease are missing out on statins, shows research in Heart. And inadequate doses are often being given to those who are prescribed the drugs. view more (2002-06-17)
Low risk for heart attack? Could an ultrasound hold the answer?
By adding the results of an imaging technique to the traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease, doctors at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston found they were able to improve prediction of heart attacks in people previously considered low risk. view more (2008-11-12)
Coronary heart disease is under-diagnosed and under-treated in women
Coronary heart disease is under-diagnosed, under-treated, and under-researched in women, says a senior doctor in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-09-02)
Many patients still missing out on drugs to cut heart attacks and stroke
Many patients who need statins to cut their risk of heart attacks and stroke are missing out, particularly the elderly, finds research in Heart. view more (2003-03-17)
Asymptomatic peripheral artery disease prevalence is rising
The prevalence of asymptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) is steadily increasing among American adults. view more (2007-11-05)
