Long-term Effects Of Tirofiban Similar To Those Of Abciximab In Patients Undergoing Coronary-artery Angioplasty (p 355)
A follow-up study in this week's issue of THE LANCET helps to clarify the differences between two similar drugs in terms of their benefits for patients who undergo angioplasty for narrowed coronary arteries (the arteries that supply the heart with blood). Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors reduce the clumping together of platelets in the... view more... (2002-07-31)
Fusing imaging technologies creates 'synergy,' helps diagnose heart disease accurately
To fight heart disease, you have to get to the "heart of the problem" by diagnosing it more accurately. Researchers did just that, releasing their findings at SNM's 54th Annual Meeting June 2-6 in Washington, D.C. SNM is the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. view more (2007-06-04)
Diabetes could be a hidden condition for heart disease patients
Researchers at the University of Warwick have discovered diabetes could be a hidden condition for some patients with coronary heart disease. view more (2008-07-16)
Heart Disease - Estimating Your Risk
Current methods used by GPs to work out an individuals' future risk of heart disease appear to overestimate the true risk by about 50%, according to research published in the British Medical Journal today. The research team, led by Dr Peter Brindle, a Bristol University researcher and city GP, also... view more... (2003-11-27)
Patient' exposure to radiation significantly lower when using new cardiac CT technique
A new cardiac CT technique, prospective gated 64-channel cardiac CT, has a significantly lower radiation dose and produces CT coronary angiograms with better image quality when compared with the standard retrospective ECG gating. view more (2008-04-14)
Thyrotropin levels may be associated with coronary heart disease mortality in women
Women with increasing levels of thyrotropin within the normal range appear to have a higher risk of fatal coronary heart disease, according to a report in the April 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-04-29)

Radiologists Can Dramatically Lower Cardiac CT Radiation Dose in Some Patients
Radiologists can now lower the radiation dose delivered by cardiac CT angiography by 39% in adult patients weighing 185 pounds or less, according to a study performed at the University of Erlangen in Erlangen, Germany. view more (2009-04-06)

Targets for preventing heart disease put huge strain on UK general practice
Primary care teams in England face a huge and unrealistic increase in workload in order to meet the goals of the national service framework for coronary heart disease, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at Nottingham University used computerised records from 18 general practices to identify two groups of patients aged 35-74: those with... view more... (2001-08-01)
Asian populations less likely to get relief from chest pain with nitroglycerin
Nitroglycerin, also called glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), has been widely used for the management of coronary heart disease, specifically angina and heart failure, for more than 130 years. view more (2006-01-27)
Emergency bypass surgery on angioplasty patients drops 90 percent
When life-threatening problems occur during angioplasty procedures, doctors may perform emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery, but data from the Mayo Clinic indicates that need to send patients to emergency surgery has dropped sharply. view more (2005-11-30)
UK scientists lift lid on genetics of coronary artery disease
Scientists have moved a step closer to understanding how our genetic make-up can lead us to develop heart disease and to predicting who is most at risk. view more (2007-07-19)
Unique vascular dysfunction in women's heart disease described in major journal supplement
Although ischemic heart disease - the reduction of blood flow that can lead to heart attacks - is often considered a "man's disease," it takes the lives of more women than men each year. In fact, in 2000, about 60,000 more women than men died from cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-02-06)

Panic disorder appears to increase risk of coronary heart disease
Patients with panic disorder have nearly double the risk for coronary heart disease, and those also diagnosed with depression are at almost three times the risk, according to new research. view more (2005-09-23)
Thin babies are vulnerable to heart disease if they are poor as adults
Men who are thin at birth and have poor living standards in adult life are at highest risk of coronary heart disease, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2001-11-28)
Estrogen therapy does not appear to protect postmenopausal women from heart disease
Estrogen therapy does not appear to reduce the risk of heart attack or coronary death in healthy postmenopausal women, although some data suggest a lower coronary heart disease risk in women aged 50 to 59 years. view more (2006-02-14)
Coronary calcium distribution tied to heart attack risk
A new calcium scoring method may better predict a person's risk of heart attack, according to a new multicenter study published in the June issue of the journal Radiology. Calcium coverage scoring takes into account not only the amount of calcified plaque build-up in the coronary arteries, but also its distribution. view more (2008-05-27)
Has the health effect of passive smoking been overstated?
The link between environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed, conclude James Enstrom of the University of California, Los Angeles and Geoffrey Kabat of New Rochelle, New York, in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-05-14)
