Patients with severe psoriasis need evaluation of heart disease risk
According to new recommendations in the December 10 issue of The American Journal of Cardiology (AJC), published by Elsevier, new research is called for and patients with severe forms of the skin disease psoriasis should receive evaluation and possible treatment to reduce their risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). view more (2008-12-18)
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)
Heart transplant from organ donor with hepatitis C associated with decreased survival
Heart transplant patients who receive a donor heart from a person with hepatitis C have a lower rate of survival. view more (2006-10-18)
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)
High intracoronary attenuation improves accuracy of 64-slice CT-CA
High intracoronary attenuation significantly improves diagnostic accuracy in 64-slice CT-CA of the coronary arteries. view more (2007-05-07)
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...

Beating Heart Bypass Surgery Reduces Postoperative Complications...
Results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery done on the beating heart reduces the risk of short-term complications compared with conventional bypass surgery. CABG surgery on the beating heart (off-pump surgery) is increasingly being used when restoring coronary artery blood flow as... view more... (2002-04-04)
Developing depression after a heart attack increases one's risk of death or readmission
Science has found many links between depression and other serious medical illnesses, such as cancer, stroke, diabetes, and heart disease. view more (2008-10-22)
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)
Angioplasty reduces long-term cardiac risk among heart patients with 'silent' ischemia
When compared with intensive drug therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI, angioplasty) was more beneficial in reducing the long-term risk of major cardiac events among heart attack survivors with "silent ischemia". view more (2007-05-09)
Expert group calls for measures to counter under-diagnosis of angina
There is a glaring need for better objective guidance for GPs in the diagnosis and management of chest pain, according to a multi-disciplinary working group of the Angina Forum. The group agreed that a worrying over-dependence on subjective judgment by GPs in identifying suspected angina patients means that many cases may go undiagnosed.... view more... (2004-07-21)
Statins effective in long term, Nordic study suggests (p 771)
Statins-a class of drugs that lower cholesterol and are associated with cardiovascular benefits- are effective in the long term, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. view more (2004-08-25)
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)
Japanese Researchers Get to the Heart of Atherosclerosis
Using positron emission tomography (PET), the medical isotope 15O-water and cold pressor tests, Japanese researchers were able to detect the beginnings of atherosclerosis—before the disease became clinically evident. view more (2006-06-05)
Treatment of severe coronary artery disease with drug-eluting stents a viable alternative to CABG
Severe stenosis (blockage) to the left main coronary artery-a condition commonly called a "widow-maker"- can result in sudden death. view more (2006-02-28)
Statin therapy may lower mortality in heart failure patients
Cholesterol-lowering statin therapy may improve survival in patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF) according to a paper published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association by cardiologists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. view more (2005-07-25)
3D Technology Pinpoints Origins of Irregular Heart Beats, Improving Patient Treatment
The findings of a new study published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology demonstrate that the use of high resolution imaging can greatly aid physicians who are treating patients suffering from a particular type of irregular heart beat. The study, conducted at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, provides insight... view more... (2004-06-11)
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)
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)
Erectile dysfunction: Incidence rate linked to type and severity of coronary artery disease
An Italian study of men with erectile dysfunction and coronary artery disease (CAD) has shown for the first time that the rates of dysfunction differ according to the type and severity of the disease. view more (2006-07-19)
