Timing of start of hormone therapy may have effect on risk of coronary heart disease
Women who initiate hormone therapy closer to menopause tend to have a reduced risk of coronary heart disease compared to women who begin treatment further from menopause. view more (2007-04-04)
Depression after heart attack increases subsequent risk
This was the finding of a study published today, Tuesday 14 September, in the British Journal of Health Psychology by Dr Everard Thornton, of the University of Liverpool, and Claire Hallas, of the University of Staffordshire. view more (1999-09-07)
Low-risk balloon trip to the heart
Patients who are at high-risk of having a heart attack or who require a bypass must undergo a coronary angiography. A new balloon catheter, being presented at the MEDTEC exhibition, allows this to be done more swiftly, more easily and with less risk than previous examinations. Calcium and cholesterol can block coronary blood vessels. The thicker... view more... (2002-03-05)
Heart disease associated with oral health - studies of women and serological factors
A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows, for the first time, an association between coronary heart disease and oral health in women. Recent results have also shown that serological factors, might provide insight into the reported epidemiological association between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease... view more... (2004-02-20)
New cardiac MRI pinpoints closed arteries without surgery
A new cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique can noninvasively demonstrate blockage of the coronary arteries with high diagnostic accuracy, according to a study featured in the July issue of Radiology. view more (2006-06-27)
Rhythm abnormality of unknown origin strongly predicts sudden death risk in heart disease patients
Researchers conducting a large, ongoing study to improve detection and prevention of sudden cardiac death were surprised to discover that a specific heart rhythm abnormality - idiopathic QT interval prolongation - increased risk five-fold among patients with coronary artery disease. view more (2009-02-03)
High level of cardiac biomarker may help predict risk of CVD events in patients with heart disease
A blood test for patients with coronary heart disease could help predict their risk for subsequent cardiovascular events or death. view more (2007-01-10)
Lipid lowering therapy reduces short-term deaths after heart attack, new findings show
New research findings published in this week’s issue of The Lancet have added more fuel to the debate over the merits of lipid lowering therapy to improve the survival chances of heart attack patients. The findings, from an international study involving investigators from USA, UK, Hungary, France and Canada, showed that patients treated for... view more... (2001-04-06)
Metabolic syndrome points to heart health
Typified by high blood pressure, weight gain around the waist and problems regulating blood sugar, metabolic syndrome may also be associated with compromised heart structure and function. view more (2007-06-07)
Predicting the risk of death in patients with known coronary artery disease
The extent of anatomic coronary artery disease, along with age and the presence of diabetes, is a strong predictor of subsequent death due to any cause and due to coronary artery disease (CAD). view more (2006-02-14)
Hormone therapy for prostate cancer patients with heart conditions linked to increased death risk
Men with coronary artery disease-induced congestive heart failure or heart attack who receive hormone therapy before or along with radiation therapy for treatment of prostate cancer have an associated increased risk of death. view more (2009-08-26)
Otamixaban for the treatment of patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes
Data from a phase II trial of an investigational intravenous drug designed to block the formation of blood clots shows potential to reduce the risk of death, a second heart attack, or other coronary complications compared with the current standard of care in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (heart attacks or unstable angina). view more (2009-08-31)
Short legs associated with precursor of diabetes and heart disease
Short-legged men have an increased risk of heart disease and a condition that leads to diabetes, insulin resistance syndrome, shows research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2001-11-09)
New genetic biomarkers could predict coronary heart disease
New genetic markers may be able to predict whether a person is likely to have coronary heart disease (CAD) in the future. Research carried out by Dr. M. Balasubramanyam and Dr.V.Mohan at the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (India) shows that people who are pre-diabetic or who have Type 2 diabetes have much shorter telomeres1 and, since these... view more...

Experts debate role of stenting, bypass surgery in left main coronary artery disease
Coronary artery bypass surgery has been the preferred treatment for patients with a blockage in the left main coronary artery, the conduit that supplies blood to about two-thirds of the heart. view more (2007-05-14)

Study finds that seeing plaque buildup prompts patients to comply with medications
A new study has found that seeing the build-up of plaque in their own arteries is the incentive patients need to comply with doctor's orders. view more (2006-04-26)
Diabetes, depression together increase risk for heart patients
Having both depression and type 2 diabetes increases the risk of death for heart patients. Each factor had been known to increase the risk of heart disease deaths by itself, but together they're even more deadly. view more (2007-03-12)
Novel Non-Invasive Imaging Technology May Allow Precise Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease, Treatment Tailoring
A study focusing on a new non-invasive imaging technology—one that may enable more precise diagnosis of coronary artery disease and treatment tailoring in individual patients—was released by Israeli researchers at SNM's 53rd Annual Meeting June 3—7 in San Diego. view more (2006-06-08)
Extremely low dose CT coronary angiography shows promise in assessing cardiac function
Extremely low dose CT coronary angiography can be used to measure cardiac function and has the potential for use when other commonly used examinations are limited, a preliminary study indicates. view more (2008-04-14)
