Is molecular adsorbent recirculating system effective for all the liver failure patients?
Since its introduction in 1993, molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) albumin dialysis has been a subject of research, with the hope of treating effectively patients with acute liver failure. view more (2009-07-08)
Aerobic exercise is best fitness program for patients with stable heart failure
Countless exercise programs claim to trim the thighs, abs and buttocks, but how many offer to reshape a flabby heart" According to new research, aerobic exercise does just that for patients with stable heart failure, literally turning an enlarged heart into a trimmer, more efficient organ for pumping blood throughout the body. view more (2007-06-12)
Review urges limited use of device to keep heart transplant hopefuls alive
An implantable pump can help heart failure patients live and recover strength while they wait for a transplant. But an evaluation of the device's track record in the United Kingdom concludes that the UK's National Health Service should continue to restrict the technology's use - at least for now. view more (2006-11-28)
Elevated biomarkers lead to diminished quality of life in heart attack patients post-discharge
Many heart attack patients have high levels of cardiac biomarkers in the blood for several months after leaving the hospital, with more shortness of breath and chest pain, according to a Henry Ford Hospital study. view more (2009-11-16)
Good for the heart - and the wallet: African-American heart failure drug is cost-effective
Health care costs often increase when newer, more effective therapies are introduced to the marketplace, placing a financial burden on patients and insurers that can last for years. view more (2005-12-13)
Study identifies potential new marker for heart failure diagnosis, prognosis
A collaborative study by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the University Hospital of Maastricht, The Netherlands, has identified a new candidate biomarker for heart failure with the potential of further improving the challenging task of diagnosing and predicting outcomes for patients with symptoms of heart failure,... view more...

Evidence lacking for 'inflatable-pants' heart failure therapy
A new review of studies supports the government's opinion that too little evidence exists to support a device that uses balloon-like pants as a treatment for heart failure. view more (2006-02-22)
ESC Congress 2003: Human Embryonic Stem Cell Derived Cardiomyocytes: A Novel Source for Cell Therapy
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference 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 Adult heart cells have limited regenerative capacity and therefore any significant... view more...

Pacemaker tune-up works chemical wonders on damaged hearts in dogs
Using pacemakers to electrically retune a heart damaged by long bouts of a wobbling heartbeat, where one heart muscle wall is beating sooner than the other, leads to fast improvements in the tissue levels of more than a dozen proteins key to the organ's health, scientists at Johns Hopkins report in experiments in dogs. view more (2008-03-06)
Scientists Reveal Chemical Compound Linked To Increased Heart Risk
Scientists believe that they have found a chemical responsible for increasing cardiovascular risk, it was revealed. And crucially they have identified how it is made and destroyed in the body raising the possibilty that new drugs to reduce the risk of heart disease are around the corner. A team of scientists based at the new British Heart... view more... (2002-01-16)
Healing the heart with bone marrow cells
Researchers at the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine at Toronto General Hospital have discovered the 'SOS' distress signal that mobilizes specific heart repair cells from the bone marrow to the injured heart after a heart attack. view more (2006-07-05)
Double Duty: Loss of Protective Heart Failure Protein Causes High Blood Pressure
Scientists at the Center for Translational Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found that a protein that appears to have protective and perhaps healing effects for failing hearts also plays a similar role in high blood pressure. view more (2008-05-06)

Prostate cancer patients on hormone therapy at increased risk for various heart diseases
New research has found that hormone therapy used to treat men with advanced prostate cancer is associated with an increased chance of developing various heart problems. Some choices of therapy appear, however, to be less risky than others. view more (2009-09-22)
Researchers examine developing hearts in chickens to find solutions for human heart abnormalities
When it is head versus heart, the heart comes first. The heart is the first organ to develop and is critical in supplying blood to the rest of the body. view more (2009-01-22)
