Study: Women with hard to diagnose chest pain symptoms at higher risk for cardiovascular events
Many physicians are presented with the following scenario: a woman comes into the office complaining of chest pain, undergoes a stress test to evaluate the chest pain, and the stress test results suggest coronary artery disease, a condition in which plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. view more (2009-05-12)
Autopsy findings suggest end of decline in coronary disease rates
Autopsies of individuals in one Minnesota County suggest that the decades-long decline in the rate of coronary artery disease may have ended and possibly reversed after 2000, according to a report in the February 11 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-02-12)
Growth patterns into childhood reveal risk of coronary heart disease later in life
The risk of developing coronary heart disease as an adult is more strongly related to childhood growth patterns than body weight at any particular point in development. view more (2005-10-27)
Negative aspects of close relationships may be associated with heart disease risk
Individuals whose close relationships have negative aspects, such as conflict and adverse exchanges, appear to have an increased risk of heart disease than those with more positive close relationships. view more (2007-10-09)

Screening families with a history of high cholesterol is most cost effective way to cut heart deaths
Screening relatives of people with high cholesterol levels is the most cost effective way to reduce deaths from coronary heart disease, yet no recommended screening strategy currently exists in the United Kingdom , according to researchers in this week's BMJ. High cholesterol which runs in families is known as familial hypercholesterolaemia. About... view more... (2002-05-28)
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)
Left main coronary artery disease can double or treble heart risk in siblings
German researchers have found that heart disease of the left main coronary artery is often an inherited condition that clusters in families. Moreover, they discovered that initially healthy siblings of a person with the condition were 2.5 times more likely to go on to develop some form of heart disease than were siblings of a patient with heart... view more...
