New genomic markers associated with risk of heart disease and early heart attack
Five short reports published simultaneously by the journal Nature Genetics have for the first time identified clusters of genetic markers associated with heart attack and coronary heart disease. view more (2009-02-19)
Calcium scans may be effective screening tool for heart disease
A simple, non-invasive test appears to be an effective screening tool for identifying patients with silent heart disease who are at risk for a heart attack or sudden death. view more (2009-09-30)
The Definitive Beta-blocker For Heart Failure? (pp 2, 7, 14)
Results of a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the beta-blocker carvedilol offers substantial survival benefit compared with another widely-used beta blocker for the treatment of chronic heart failure. Beta blockers reduce death in patients who are also taking diuretics and ACE inhibitors for chronic heart failure. In... view more... (2003-07-02)
Feeling down and out could break your heart, literally
New data published in the March 17, 2009, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggest that relatively healthy women with severe depression are at increased risk of cardiac events, including sudden cardiac death (SCD) and fatal coronary heart disease (CHD). view more (2009-03-10)
Aspirin is most cost effective way to prevent heart disease
Aspirin and blood pressure lowering drugs can prevent heart disease at a fraction of the cost of cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) and clopidogrel (an anti-clotting drug), finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2003-11-26)
Aspirin may be less effective heart treatment for women than men
A new study shows that aspirin therapy for coronary artery disease is four times more likely to be ineffective in women compared to men with the same medical history. view more (2007-04-30)
Depression leads to higher health care costs for women cardiovascular patients, national study shows
Women with suspected coronary artery disease who suffer from depression have significantly higher health care costs than those who are not depressed, according to findings from the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE), an ongoing, multicenter study funded by the National Institutes of Health. view more (2009-03-10)
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)
Study suggests statins reduce cardiovascular risk for people with type 2 diabetes (p 641, 685)
Results of a randomised trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that people with type 2 diabetes could benefit from cholesterol-lowering therapy with statins to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease-even when they do not have high cholesterol concentrations. Many recent studies have shown the benefits of statin therapy to reduce the... view more... (2004-08-18)
Having elevated risk factors in young adulthood raises risk of coronary calcium later on
Having above optimal levels of risk factors for heart disease between the ages of 18 and 30 can mean a two to three times greater risk of later developing coronary calcium, a strong predictor of heart disease. view more (2007-04-17)
Treating depression may improve recovery of heart rate variability following coronary syndromes
Patients with depression appear to have an impaired ability to recover their heart rate variability following acute coronary syndromes such as heart attack, a factor that could increase their risk of coronary death. view more (2007-09-04)
'Bigger the baby, the better' axiom is incorrect
Dr Rachel Huxley, lead author of the paper and Acting Director of Nutrition and Lifestyle at The George Institute said, "Although there was support for a small association between birth weight and an individual's future risk of heart disease, the relationship is not as strong as earlier studies have suggested. view more (2007-05-18)
Coronary calcium testing predicts future heart ailments
Calcium deposits in coronary arteries provide a strong predictor for possible future heart attacks and cardiac diseases, and detecting such deposits can be valuable for promoting overall cardiac health. view more (2008-03-27)
American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine from SAGE explores how lifestyle affects heart disease
Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in the United States. Although some risk factors, such as age and heredity, cannot be controlled, many factors, including smoking, cholesterol, blood pressure, obesity, and inactivity can be modified, thus, lowering the risk. view more (2007-01-15)
Diabetics' heart attack risk can be reduced, research finds
People with diabetes who maintain intensive, low blood sugar levels are significantly less likely to suffer heart attacks and coronary heart disease, new research published today in The Lancet has shown. view more (2009-05-22)
Mutant gene identified as villain in hardening of the arteries
A genetic mutation expands lesions in the aorta and promotes coronary atherosclerosis, more commonly known as hardening of the arteries, according to a study by Yale School of Medicine in Cell Metabolism. view more (2007-12-19)
Coronary angiography may improve outcomes for cardiac arrest patients
People who suffer cardiac arrests and then receive coronary angiography are twice as likely to survive without significant brain damage compared with those who don't have the procedure, according to a study by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers. view more (2009-04-01)
ESC Congress 2003: Perindopril* prevents cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction in coronary disease patients regardless of their cardiovascular risk
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference 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 The long-acting ACE inhibitor perindopril significantly reduces the risk of... view more...

Further Evidence That Hrt Does Not Protect Against Cardiovascular Disease (p 2001)
Results of a UK randomised trial published in this week's issue of THE LANCET provides further evidence that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not offer women protection against cardiovascular disease. Previous observational studies have suggested that HRT could reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but results of randomised trials... view more... (2002-12-18)
Heart disease deaths fall, as obesity and diabetes increase, experts find
Epidemiologists at the University of Liverpool and the Heart of Mersey have found that approximately half the recent fall in coronary heart disease deaths in the US is due to positive life style changes and a further half to medical therapies. view more (2007-06-08)
