Aging heart changes shape, shrinks and loses pumping function too
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have evidence to explain why the supposedly natural act of aging is by itself a very potent risk factor for life-threatening heart failure. view more (2007-11-05)
Many African-Americans have a gene that prolongs life after heart failure
About 40 percent of African-Americans have a genetic variant that can protect them after heart failure and prolong their lives, according to research conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and collaborating institutions. view more (2008-04-21)
Very early signs of atherosclerosis and heart failure seen together on MRI
Middle-age and older people who feel healthy, but who have early signs of atherosclerosis, are more likely to exhibit subtle changes in heart function, detectable through a special MRI technique. view more (2006-06-21)
Longer anthracycline therapy reduces heart failure in adult cancer patients
Stretching out a dose of chemotherapy over six or more hours may reduce the risk of heart problems caused by certain commonly used cancer drugs. view more (2006-11-27)
Elite young athletes fear failure
Young athletes can fear failure to such an extent that it affects their sporting performance, well-being, relationships, and even their schoolwork. But helping them to learn effective coping skills can lessen detrimental consequences. view more (2005-03-21)
Artificial pump effectively backs up failing hearts
Patients with severe heart failure can be bridged to eventual transplant by a new, smaller and lighter implantable heart pump, according to a just-completed study of the device. view more (2009-04-03)
Reductive stress linked to heart disease
Antioxidants are widely considered an important defense against heart disease, but University of Utah researchers have found excessive levels of one antioxidant-reduced glutathione-actually may contribute to the disease. view more (2007-08-10)
Mayo Clinic study finds risk of sudden cardiac death highest early after attack
People who survive a heart attack face the greatest risk of dying from sudden cardiac death (SCD) during the first month after leaving the hospital, according to a long-term community study by Mayo Clinic researchers of nearly 3,000 heart attack survivors. view more (2008-11-05)
Exercise could be the heart's fountain of youth
Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but endurance exercise seems to make it younger. According to a study conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, older people who did endurance exercise training for about a year ended up with metabolically much younger hearts. view more (2008-07-24)
Oxygen-saturated blood reduces levels of damaged heart tissue following a heart attack
Results of a clinical trial published today in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions demonstrate that an infusion of blood that is "supersaturated" with oxygen (SS02) can reduce the amount of damaged heart muscle immediately following a life-threatening heart attack. view more (2009-09-16)
STUDY LOOKS AT NEEDS OF THOSE ON "DISEASE JOURNEYS"
Member of the research team Dr Scott Murray of the University of Edinburgh's Department of Community Health Sciences said the disease 'journeys' of 25 families with lung cancer and 25 with severe cardiac failure would be followed, through interviews with patients, their relatives and professionals from health and social services. The patients and... view more... (1999-06-21)
Researchers identify key step in cocaine-induced heart enlargement, sudden death
Cocaine, in concentrations commonly sold on the street, causes the abnormal buildup of primitive proteins in heart muscle - a process causing heart enlargement that can ultimately lead to sudden death. view more (2006-09-08)
Multiple organ failure and malignant tumors main causes of death in ICU and hospital
Multiple organ failure is the main cause of death in intensive care units. A study published today in the journal Critical Care shows that the main risk factors for death in the intensive care unit are central nervous system failure and cardiovascular failure, and the most frequent cause of death is multiple organ failure. view more (2006-11-03)
Adult Bone Marrow Stem Cells Injected into Skeletal Muscle Can Repair Heart Tissue
University at Buffalo researchers have demonstrated for the first time that injecting adult bone marrow stem cells into skeletal muscle can repair cardiac tissue, reversing heart failure. view more (2009-05-29)
Mayo Clinic researchers measuring C-reactive protein is early indicator of stiffened arteries
Researchers around the world agree that C-reactive protein is associated with increased risk of heart attack and stroke. view more (2005-08-24)
Diabetes, not obesity, increases risk of developing critical illness and early death
Diabetes puts people at risk of developing critical illness and dying early, but obesity without diabetes does not. A study published today in the open access journal Critical Care reveals that individuals suffering from diabetes are three times more at risk of developing critical illness and dying young than individuals who do not have diabetes. view more (2006-09-25)
4 out of 106 heart replacement valves from pig hearts failed
Pig heart valves used to replace defective aortic valves in human patients failed much earlier and more often than expected, says a report from cardiac surgeons at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2009-06-30)
Your Heart Could Indicate Whether You Have Kidney Problems
Cardiovascular risk factors appear to indicate deteriorating renal function in all adults. Researchers discovered various indicators of heart or vascular disease can signal that kidney function is on the decline in the general population, as just published in the May issue of Kidney International. view more (2005-05-12)
Less-invasive ultrafiltration device may be practical alternative to diuretics
A device that performs ultrafiltration of blood, without requiring specialized nursing care or invasive central intravenous access, can reduce fluid overload in patients with congestive heart failure. view more (2005-11-30)
Endothelin-Related Drugs Benefit Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension
Recent research to block the effects of endothelin, a powerful substance that constricts blood vessels and stimulates cell growth, has led to successful treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and provides hope for treating other chronic diseases. view more (2009-09-10)
