Jefferson Researchers Find Drug May Give Some Cardiac Protection 24 Hours After Heart Attack
A drug has been shown to provide some protection to the heart from injury even if given as much as 24 hours after a heart attack view more (2005-11-17)
Sleep apnea increases risk of heart attack or death by 30 percent
The nighttime breathing disorder known as obstructive sleep apnea increases a person's risk of having a heart attack or dying by 30% over a period of four to five years. view more (2007-05-21)
Abnormal overexpression of p53 is a predictive molecular biomarker
A common laboratory test that predicted poor outcome from traditional radiation and chemotherapy treatment for head and neck cancers now has been found to predict a good prognosis with treatment of p53 tumor suppressor gene therapy-making it potentially the first predictive biomarker test for a gene-based drug. view more (2006-09-15)
More elderly Americans are living with heart failure
The number of elderly individuals newly diagnosed with heart failure has declined during the past ten years, but the number of those living with the condition has increased. view more (2008-02-26)
Researchers figure out how hearts fail
Researchers have determined how metabolic pathways differ between healthy and failing hearts. Normally, a heart derives its energy from a balance of fatty acids and carbohydrates, specifically glucose. view more (2005-07-25)
Respiratory infections linked to increased heart attacks and strokes
A new study, which appears today in the online edition of the European Heart Journal, has found strong evidence that recent respiratory infections increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes, both of which are more common in the winter. view more (2007-12-06)
Expansion of monocyte subset could serve as a biomarker for HIV progressions
An increase in the CD163+/CD16+ monocyte subset could be a biomarker for the progression of HIV disease, according to researchers at Temple University. view more (2008-03-28)
Dangerous duo: Hostility plus depression elevates risk for heart disease
Researchers led by Jesse Stewart, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, report that hostility and depression appear to act together in a complex way to elevate inflammatory proteins in the human body, possibly putting hostility plus depression on the list of risk factors for heart disease... view more...

Mayo researchers discover immune system blocker at work in kidney cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a new and deadly player in the most common form of kidney cancer. They've shown that the molecule B7-H4 helps renal cell carcinoma (RCC) grow and spread by blocking the immune system. view more (2006-06-30)
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)
Study: Fountain of youth for your heart?
An age-related decline in heart function is a risk factor for heart disease in the elderly. While many factors contribute to a progressive age-related decline in heart function, alterations in the types of fuels the heart uses to produce energy also play important roles. view more (2007-11-05)
Researchers find 1 in 6 women, 1 in 10 men at risk for Alzheimer's disease in their lifetime
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have estimated that one in six women are at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) in their lifetime, while the risk for men is one in ten. view more (2008-03-19)
Test detects molecular marker of aging in humans
In 2004, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center announced a crucial discovery in the understanding of cellular aging. view more (2009-06-16)
ESC Congress 2003: Preferred treatment of angina (chest pain)
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies a poster or oral session given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology ESC Congress 2003: We have shown that in European and Mediterranean patients with stable angina and proven... view more...

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)
Unfair treatment boosts heart attack risk
Unfair treatment in life boosts a person's chances of having a heart attack, suggests research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2007-05-15)
Heart Disease - Estimating Your Risk
Current methods used by GPs to work out an individuals' future risk of heart disease appear to overestimate the true risk by about 50%, according to research published in the British Medical Journal today. The research team, led by Dr Peter Brindle, a Bristol University researcher and city GP, also... view more... (2003-11-27)
Half an hour of brisk walking five times weekly unlikely to stave off early death from heart disease
Half an hour of brisk walking five times a week might keep you limber and make you feel better, but it is unlikely to stave off an early death from heart disease, shows research in Heart. Current UK and US guidelines on heart health recommend 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity, such as brisk walking, on at least five days of the... view more... (2003-04-11)
Depression is not good for your heart
According to a large-scale study in Sweden, people who have been diagnosed with depression, especially younger patients between 25 and 50 years of age, are at increased risk of developing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) later in life. view more (2005-12-20)
Passive smoking increases the risk of heart disease
A new study published in BMC Public Health shows that breathing in second-hand smoke significantly increases the risk of developing heart problems in non-smokers. These findings have serious consequences for public health giving weight to calls for smoking to be banned in public places. In 1995 cardiovascular diseases accounted for nearly 15... view more...
