High good cholesterol trumps low bad cholesterol for heart protection
Having a high level of HDL cholesterol - the good cholesterol - is more important than having a low level of LDL - the bad cholesterol - in protecting individuals from heart attack. view more (2006-04-04)
Detection Of Glucose Intolerance After Heart Attack Could Identify Patients At High Risk Of Further Cardiovascular Disease
A Swedish study in this week's issue of THE LANCET confirms that people admitted to hospital with an acute heart attack are at an increased risk of having undiagnosed diabetes or increased glucose intolerance. Findings of the new study suggest that the fasting glucose of patients or high glucose concentrations immediately after heart attack could... view more... (2002-06-19)
New tool calculates risk of bleeding in heart attack patients
With eight basic medical facts in hand, doctors can now estimate the risk of bleeding for a patient having a heart attack. view more (2009-04-15)
Molecule prompts damaged heart cells to repair themselves after a heart attack
A protein that the heart produces during its early development reactivates the embryonic coronary developmental program and initiates migration of heart cells and blood vessel growth after a heart attack, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2009-04-13)
Angioplasty reduces long-term cardiac risk among heart patients with 'silent' ischemia
When compared with intensive drug therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI, angioplasty) was more beneficial in reducing the long-term risk of major cardiac events among heart attack survivors with "silent ischemia". view more (2007-05-09)
Debate focuses on door-to-balloon time in heart attack treatment
In the treatment of heart attack, the 90-minute goal for inflation of an angioplasty balloon in a blocked coronary artery to restore normal blood flow is so revered it's been codified in clinical guidelines, accreditation standards, and pay-for-performance programs. view more (2007-05-14)
The benefits of reperfusion therapy
The wider use of reperfusion therapy in patients with heart attack (AMI) can save millions of lives in Europe. view more (2009-09-01)
Statins reduce risk of heart attack and stroke in those without heart disease
Among individuals without cardiovascular disease, taking statins regularly may reduce the risk of major heart and cerebrovascular events such as heart attack and stroke but not coronary heart disease or overall death. view more (2006-11-28)
Are women at greater risk from angioplasty?
Research will be reported at TCT 2007, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), that demonstrates that early intervention saves lives in women who have a heart attack or unstable chest pain. view more (2007-10-19)
Proton pump inhibitors increase risk of heart attacks for patients on common cardiac drug
Patients taking the common cardiac drug clopidogrel following a heart attack are at a significantly higher risk of a recurrence if they are also taking widely used acid-lowering medications called proton pump inhibitors, a new study published online in CMAJ has found (http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/rapidpdf/cmaj.082001). view more (2009-01-29)
International study identifies gene variants associated with early heart attack
The largest study ever completed of genetic factors associated with heart attacks has identified nine genetic regions - three not previously described - that appear to increase the risk for early-onset myocardial infarction. view more (2009-02-09)
Blood test predicts cardiac events and death in heart patients
A simple blood test for the protein NT-proBNP accurately predicts the risk of heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and death in patients with known cardiovascular disease, according to a study led by a researcher at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. view more (2007-01-10)
Clinical depression raises risk of death for heart attack patients years after attack
Depressed heart attack patients have a higher risk for sudden death in the months following a heart attack. Now a team led by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found that the risk continues for many years. view more (2008-03-04)
Blood-pressure-lowering drugs should not be limited to people with high blood pressure
Blood pressure lowering drugs should be offered to anyone old enough to be at risk of a heart attack or stroke (or who is otherwise known to be at risk), regardless of their blood pressure. view more (2009-05-20)
Stem Cell Study for Patients with Heart Attack Damage Seeks to Regenerate Heart Muscle
Rush cardiologists are hoping that transplanted stem cells can regenerate damaged heart muscle in those who experience a first heart attack. The study involves an intravenous infusion of adult mesenchymal stem cells from healthy donor bone marrow that might possibly reverse damage to heart tissue. view more (2006-04-21)
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)
The heart attack myth: Study establishes that women do have same the heart attack symptoms as men
The gender difference between men and women is a lot smaller than we've been led to believe when it comes to heart attack symptoms. view more (2009-10-26)
New approach to treating heart attacks reduces risk of life-threatening complications
Transferring heart attack patients to specialized hospitals to undergo angioplasty within six hours after receiving clot-busting drugs reduces the risk of life-threatening complications including repeat heart attacks, according to a new study from St. Michael's Hospital and Southlake Regional Hospital. view more (2009-06-25)
'Runner's high' may also strengthen hearts
Endorphins and other morphine-like substances known as opioids, which are released during exercise, don't just make you feel good -- they may also protect you from heart attacks, according to University of Iowa researchers. view more (2007-11-09)
Heart attacks/pneumonia falls short of national goals
Emergency departments across the nation are failing to meet national goals in treating many heart attack and pneumonia patients, according to a study by Johns Hopkins researchers published in the October issue of Academic Emergency Medicine. view more (2007-11-01)
