U of M study finds new risk factors do not improve assessment of coronary heart disease risk
Routinely screening for C-Reactive Proteins (CRP) and performing other novel tests has little value when assessing risk for coronary heart disease. view more (2006-07-12)
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)
Interventions can Improve Lifespan in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
A recent study using 2,467 patients with established coronary artery disease concluded that when medical facilities select interventional methods to lower cholesterol they experience improved morbidity and mortality in patients with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) - the leading cause of death in theUS. view more (2004-11-10)
ESC Congress 2004: Antibiotic Treatment for Secondary Prevention of Coronary Events: Results of the Azithromycin and Coronary Events Study (ACES)
Results of large-scale clinical trial of antibiotic treatment to reduce heart attacks view more (2004-08-30)
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)
'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)
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)
Genetic faults in heart enzyme increase risk of heart attack and stroke
Genetic faults, which produce an excess of a powerful enzyme, increase the risk of coronary artery disease and consequently, a heart attack, shows research in Heart. But the faulty genes do not speed up artery narrowing, the cause of acute coronary artery disease, the research shows. Over 850 men with stable coronary artery disease in their 50s... view more...

Low-fat diet or vitamin E absorption? Walking the tightrope of heart disease prevention
Vitamin E supplements can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease; a low-fat diet can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease; but research at the University of Surrey has now shown that if a vitamin E supplement is taken with a low-fat meal, the absorption of the vitamin into the blood stream, and therefore its efficacy, is... view more...

Temperature at birth linked to health later in life
Cold outdoor temperature at birth is associated with increased coronary heart disease and insulin resistance, high cholesterol levels, and poor lung function in later life, suggests a study in Heart. This link was strongest among those from the lowest social and economic classes. Researchers examined the effects of average outdoor temperature... view more... (2004-03-09)
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)
Taking up drinking in middle age cuts heart disease risk but increases chances of dying from other causes
Taking up regular drinking in middle age might cut the risk of heart disease, finds research in Heart. But the catch is, it increases the risk of dying from something else. view more (2001-12-17)
New research suggests hearts are experts at self-preservation
Bristol researchers have identified a heart protection mechanism in mice that surgeons and cardiologists may be able to exploit to improve treatments for patients in future. view more (2007-10-01)
ACE inhibitors may reduce death, heart attack and stroke in patients with coronary artery disease
ngiotension-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, medications commonly used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), may reduce cardiovascular risk and the risk of death in patients with coronary artery disease. view more (2006-04-11)
ESC Congress 2003: Preferred treatment of angina (chest pain)
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology ESC Congress 2003: We have shown that in European and Mediterranean patients with stable angina and proven... view more...

Risk of heart problems among diabetic patients less than previously thought
Patients with type 2 diabetes are at lower risk of death and hospital admission for heart attack than patients with established coronary heart disease, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-04-16)
ESC Congress 2003: Computed tomography of the heart - a new diagnostic modality for diagnosing coronary artery disease
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology ESC Congress 2003: Today's cardiology faces a dilemma: on one hand 30 - 50 % of patients with coronary... view more...

Depression is not good for your heart
According to a large-scale study in Sweden, people who have been diagnosed with depression, especially younger patients between 25 and 50 years of age, are at increased risk of developing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) later in life. view more (2005-12-20)
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)
Being overweight may independently increase risk for heart disease events
Being moderately overweight or obese appears to increase the risk for developing coronary heart disease events independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. view more (2007-09-11)
