Long-term Effects Of Tirofiban Similar To Those Of Abciximab In Patients Undergoing Coronary-artery Angioplasty (p 355)
A follow-up study in this week's issue of THE LANCET helps to clarify the differences between two similar drugs in terms of their benefits for patients who undergo angioplasty for narrowed coronary arteries (the arteries that supply the heart with blood). Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors reduce the clumping together of platelets in the... view more... (2002-07-31)
Most NSAIDs raise risk of death after heart attack
Taking either COX-2 inhibitors or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) after a heart attack, especially in high doses, increases the risk of death, researchers reported at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2005. view more (2005-11-14)
Antidepressants may lower risk of recurrent heart attack in depressed heart attack patients
In depressed patients who have experienced a heart attack, use of antidepressants, especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), was associated with a reduced risk of death and recurrent heart attack, according to an article in the July issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2005-07-05)
HIV drugs, Abacavir and Didanosine, increase the risk of heart attack
A study to assess the adverse effects of anti-retroviral drugs shows that two of the widely used HIV drugs are associated with an increased risk of heart attack/the formation of blood clots in the heart. With the use of Didanosine; the risk of developing a heart attack increases by 49%, with Abacavir; the increased risk is 90%. view more (2008-02-11)

Research finds link between depression
Depression nearly triples the risk of death following a heart attack, even when accounting for other heart attack risk factors, according to research presented today at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) annual meeting, which showed that among 360 depressed, post myocardial infarction patients followed for more than six years,... view more...

In 2000 the European Society of Cardiology and the American College of Cardiology recommended the use of rises in a set of proteins called troponins for the detection... view more... (2003-11-18)
Early heart attack therapy with bone marrow extract improves cardiac function
A UCSF study for the treatment of heart failure after heart attack found that the extract derived from bone marrow cells is as effective as therapy using bone marrow stem cells for improving cardiac function, decreasing the formation of scar tissue and improving cardiac pumping capacity after heart attack. view more (2009-06-30)
HIV infection appears to increases the risk of heart attack
Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found that infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is also associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction or heart attack. view more (2007-04-25)
Signaling protein helps limit damage in heart attack, Jefferson scientists show

Taking low-dose aspirin daily reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as the risk of dying, among patients who previously have had a heart attack or stroke but whose cardiovascular disease has stabilized. view more (2006-11-16)
Penalty shoot-outs can trigger heart attcks
Heart attacks increased by 25% when England lost to Argentina in a penalty shoot-out in the 1998 World Cup, concludes a study in this week's Christmas issue of the BMJ.
