Biomarker for age-related macular degeneration found
People who have elevated homocysteine in their blood, an amino acid that is a known biomarker for cardiovascular disease, may also be at an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a study in the January issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology. view more (2006-01-05)
'Disquieting' slow down in heart disease deaths among under 55s
The fall in deaths from heart disease among younger Britons is slowing down, pointing to a "disquieting" trend, indicates research published ahead of print in the journal Heart. view more (2007-07-19)
New study finds a positive association between periodontal disease and coronary heart disease
Researchers found an increased risk of coronary heart disease for people below the age of 60 who have more than four millimeters of alveolar bone loss (the bone that holds the teeth in the mouth) from periodontal disease. view more (2006-09-27)
Blood test can accurately diagnose heart failure in patients with kidney dysfunction
A large-scale analysis has shown that a blood test previously found useful in diagnosing or ruling out heart failure in emergency room patients remains effective in patients with chronic kidney disease. view more (2005-12-15)
Fruit fly research may lead to better understanding of human heart disease
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have shown in both fruit flies and humans that genes involved in embryonic heart development are also integral to adult heart function. The study, led by Rolf Bodmer, Ph.D., was published in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-12-02)
UVA Reports Surprising Findings Related to Heart Protein, NKX2-5,
New research from the University of Virginia Health System shows that, in cases of Type 1 myotonic muscular dystrophy (DM1), a well known heart protein does several surprising things. DM1 is the most common form of muscular dystrophy in adults and affects approximately 40,000 adults and children in the U.S. view more (2007-12-18)
Cerebrospinal fluid shows Alzheimer's disease deterioration much earlier
It is possible to determine which patients run a high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and the dementia associated with it, even in patients with minimal memory impairment. This has been shown by recent research at the Sahlgrenska Academy. view more (2009-06-18)
Gene link to increased risk of coronary heart disease, found by scientists.
The risk of contracting coronary heart disease increases three fold among smoking males who carry a particular gene variant, scientists will reveal at a press briefing next week. Professor Steve Humphries, British Heart Foundation Professor of Cardiovascular Genetics at University College London (UCL), and Professor Sir Charles George, Medical... view more... (2001-07-06)
Heart disease most expensive disease in UK, costing more than £7 billion a year
Coronary heart disease is the most expensive disease in the UK, costing over £7 billion a year in lost productivity and its impact on health care, reveals research in Heart. view more (2002-11-18)
Taking up drinking in middle age cuts heart disease risk but increases chances of dying from other causes
Taking up regular drinking in middle age might cut the risk of heart disease, finds research in Heart. But the catch is, it increases the risk of dying from something else. view more (2001-12-17)
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)
Haemophilia Carriers Have A Reduced Risk Of Ischaemic Heart Disease (p 351)
Decreased blood clotting protects mothers of haemophiliacs against ischaemic heart disease claim researchers in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Clotting has a key role in ischaemic heart disease, and reduced clotting protects against the disease. Haemophilia, a genetic clotting disorder, mainly affects men and causes reduced blood clotting.... view more... (2003-07-30)
Penn Medicine pathologists pioneer biomarker test to diagnose or rule out Alzheimer's disease
A test capable of confirming or ruling out Alzheimer's disease has been validated and standardized by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. view more (2009-03-17)
Dietary copper may ease heart disease
Including more copper in your everyday diet could be good for your heart, according to scientists at the University of Louisville Medical Center and the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center. view more (2007-03-06)
High blood pressure is a poor predictor of heart disease
Blood pressure screening either alone or in combination with other cardiovascular risk factors such as cholesterol levels does not determine a person's chance of having a heart attack or stroke, reports Professor Malcolm Law and colleagues at the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine in the current issue of the Journal of Medical Screening.... view more...

New risk factor for heart disease identified
Physicians can now identify overweight people at very high risk of developing heart disease, thanks to research published this week in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. People who suffer from heart disease are more likely to produce smaller versions of a protein called apolipoprotein(a). Being overweight increases your risk of suffering from heart... view more...

Novel biomarkers in heart failure
Several new biomarkers have been recently described in Heart Failure (HF) syndrome either in stable chronic patients as in the settings of acute decompensation. view more (2009-06-01)
Early growth influences risk of heart disease in later life
A study in this week's BMJ reports a strong association between infant and childhood growth and the development of coronary heart disease in later life. These findings suggest that improvements in early growth could lead to substantial reductions in the incidence of the disease. The research team examined the infant and childhood growth of 357 men... view more... (2001-04-18)
Biomarkers as a guide to therapy in heart failure patients
There has been much interest in the biomarker known as N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) as a precise guide for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of heart failure. view more (2009-01-28)
Diabetes could be a hidden condition for heart disease patients
Researchers at the University of Warwick have discovered diabetes could be a hidden condition for some patients with coronary heart disease. view more (2008-07-16)
