New test can rule out heart damage within six hours
A new test to assess chest pain in UK emergency departments can rule out the possibility of heart damage within six hours, allowing safe discharge of patients and reducing unnecessary admissions, finds a study in this week's BMJ. The current approach requires admission to hospital for a minimum of 24 hours. Over a 12-month period, researchers at... view more... (2001-08-15)
Garlic may protect the heart after heart surgery
Raw garlic consumption may help limit the damage done to the heart after surgery because if its natural antioxidant properties, according to a new study published in BMC Pharmacology. After a heart attack it is important to restore the flow of blood to the heart so that damage to the heart muscle can be minimised. However, the return of blood... view more... (2002-09-09)
MRI is Better Than SPECT in Assessing Heart Damage in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Contrast-enhanced MRI is better than SPECT in detecting heart damage in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease that can lead to sudden death in young patients. view more (2005-08-08)
Stress could damage DNA
A ground-breaking experiment has suggested that a certain type of stress could actually damage humans' DNA. view more (2004-08-23)
Heart attack in a laboratory dish
NWO researchers at Utrecht University have given heart muscle cells a heart attack in the laboratory. This allowed them to observe clearly the change that takes place in the cell membrane during an attack and how the change sometimes leads to the death of the cell. In a healthy cell, one of the components of the membrane, the phospholipids, are... view more... (2001-05-08)
Bleeding hearts revealed with new scan
Images that for the first time show bleeding inside the heart after people have suffered a heart attack have been captured by scientists, in a new study published today in the journal Radiology. view more (2009-01-20)
Bone marrow hope for heart sufferers
New hope for sufferers of heart disease is possible, after research led by a University of Leicester surgeon indicates that bone marrow cells injected into a heart can help repair damage from a heart attack. view more (2002-11-27)
New drug could reduce tissue damage after heart attack
A study led by UCL (University College London) scientists has designed a new drug that inhibits the adverse effects of C reactive protein (CRP), a protein that contributes to tissue damage in heart attacks and strokes. view more (2006-04-27)
Newly discovered molecule promises better treatments for heart attacks, heart surgery
Scientists have discovered a compound that could lead to new treatments for heart attacks as well as methods to protect hearts during open heart surgery and other situations in which blood flow to the heart is interrupted. view more (2008-09-12)
Erectile dysfunction drugs may trump nitroglycerin for heart protection
Erectile dysfunction drugs may be better than nitroglycerin in protecting the heart from damage before and after a severe heart attack, Virginia Commonwealth University researchers report today. view more (2007-03-05)
Novel compound may lessen heart attack damage
A novel drug designed to lessen muscle damage from a heart attack has passed initial safety tests at the Duke Clinical Research Institute. Results of the study, available online and to be published in the February 19 issue of the journal Circulation, reflect the first time the drug has been tested in humans. view more (2008-02-07)
Steroids reduce heart damage risk in children with Kawasaki's disease
When added to standard treatment, steroids significantly reduce the odds of developing heart damage in children with Kawasaki's disease, according to a study in the October issue of Pediatrics. view more (2005-10-04)
Heart injury due to carbon monoxide poisoning increases long-term risk of death
Of patients who were hospitalized and treated for moderate to severe carbon monoxide poisoning, those who sustained heart muscle injury due to their exposure had an increased risk of death during a mid-point follow-up period of 7.6 years compared to those without injury to the heart. view more (2006-01-25)
MRI detects early heart damage in patients with sarcoidosis
To detect heart damage early in patients with the immune system disorder sarcoidosis, who are at elevated risk of dieing from heart problems, magnetic resonance imaging is twice as sensitive as conventional methods. view more (2006-11-13)
Aetiology of congenital heart disease explained
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified the mechanisms behind the serious, congenital heart condition that can sometimes develop in children of women with a rheumatic disease. view more (2005-02-07)
Tiny molecule controls stress-induced heart disease
A tiny snippet of RNA, a chemical cousin of DNA, controls damage to the heart under several types of stress, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2007-03-23)
Study sees transient heart dysfunction in some long-distance runners
A new study using advanced cardiac imaging technology indicates that cardiac abnormalities experienced by some marathon runners following competition are temporary, and do not result in damage to the heart muscle. view more (2009-05-18)
Proteins in urine predict brain damage in laboratory animals
The study dealt with the development and prevention of strokes in particular rats which had spontaneously developed extremely high blood pressure. Such a high blood pressure level leads within a few weeks to damage to the kidneys, heart and brain such that the rats die. The researchers found that brain damage in these rats is always preceded by... view more... (1999-06-21)
New research suggests hearts are experts at self-preservation
Bristol researchers have identified a heart protection mechanism in mice that surgeons and cardiologists may be able to exploit to improve treatments for patients in future. view more (2007-10-01)
Limiting damage after heart transplantation
Scientists from Imperial College School of Medicine at Harefield Hospital may have found a way of dampening down damaging immune responses following heart transplants. Professor Rose will describe her work at the British Society for Immunology’s Congress 2000 in Harrogate today (Thursday 7 December 2000). World-wide, 5,000 heart transplants... view more...
