No 'convincing evidence' that glitazones work better than older diabetes drugs
There is no convincing evidence that the newer class of diabetes drugs, known as glitazones, offer real advantages over other diabetes drugs, when used on their own, concludes the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB). view more (2008-04-10)
Herbal extract extends life for heart failure patients
An herbal medicinal substance, Crataegus Extract WS®1442, safely extends the lives of congestive heart failure patients already receiving pharmacological treatment for the disease, according to a study presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 56th Annual Scientific Session. Crataegus Extract WS®1442 is an extract of leaves... view more... (2007-03-28)
Herceptin does not increase heart failure in patients long-term
Risk of congestive heart failure in women treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and combination chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer did not increase over time according to a five-year follow-up of National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) trial B-31. view more (2007-06-04)
System failure at heart of child abuse case disasters
System failure lies at the heart of the current crisis surrounding cases of suspected child abuse, argues a retired paediatrician in this week's BMJ. The recent quashing of Sally Clark's conviction for the murder of two of her children and the collapse of the case against Trupti Patel have shaken public confidence. But we need to look less... view more... (2003-08-06)
Ventricular Regulation May Be Key to Preventing Heart Failure
A four-week study conducted on animals revealed that regulating ventricular rates and heart structure in models with irregular heart rhythms can inhibit chronic heart failure (CHF). view more (2004-11-18)
UT Southwestern cardiologists find physical exams just as good for assessing heart failure
Patient history and physical examination, traditionally the cornerstone diagnostic tool for medical care, may still be among the most accurate and cost-efficient methods to assess patients with congestive heart failure, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2008-09-17)
Jefferson Researchers Find Potential Biomarker for Heart Failure
Signs of heart failure may be in the blood. Cardiac researchers at Jefferson Medical College have found an enzyme in the blood that could be a potential marker for heart failure. view more (2005-08-22)
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)
High blood pressure, low energy -- a recipe for heart failure
Many people with long-standing high blood pressure develop heart failure. But some don't. Daniel P. Kelly, M.D., and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and other institutions are trying to figure out what could explain that difference. view more (2007-08-10)
Heart failure linked to cognitive impairment
Nearly half of patients with heart failure (HF) have problems with memory and other aspects of cognitive functioning, reports a new study published by Elsevier, in the February issue of Journal of Cardiac Failure. view more (2009-02-05)
Systolic blood pressure level for patients with heart failure may help predict risk of death
Patients with heart failure and low systolic blood pressure at hospital admission are more likely to have poor outcomes including higher mortality rates and increased rates of rehospitalization, despite medical treatment. view more (2006-11-08)
Novel candidate biomarker for heart failure also strongly predicts risk of death
A potential new biomarker for heart failure may be more powerful than established measures in identifying patients at increased risk for death from several causes. view more (2007-08-07)
Serum sodium predicts mortality 10 times higher in PAH patients
Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-chronically high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs-whose serum sodium levels are low (called hyponatremia, or HN) have a very poor chance of survival and a high rate of right-heart failure (RHF), according to new research from the University of Pennsylvania. view more (2008-06-13)
Scientists identify genomic 'fingerprint' for alcohol-induced heart failure
A person with dilated cardiomyopathy has an enlarged and stretched heart cavity, usually too weak to pump normally; most people will go on to develop heart failure. view more (2008-05-05)
Study finds treatment fails to improve common form of heart failure
A medication used for high blood pressure does not improve a common form of heart failure, according to new results from a large, international study. view more (2008-12-05)
Inhibition of GRK2 is protective against acute cardiac stress injuries
Inhibition of a protein known to contribute to heart failure also appears to be protective of the heart in more acute cardiac stress injury, namely ischemia reperfusion. view more (2009-11-18)
Jefferson scientists use gene therapy to reverse heart failure in animals
Heart researchers at the Center for Translational Medicine at Jefferson Medical College have used gene therapy to reverse heart failure in animals. view more (2007-05-24)
Link between a sleep-related breathing disorder and increased heart rate variability
A sleep-related breathing disorder, common in heart failure, increases one's heart rate variability. Further, central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) produce different patterns of heart rate variability, which are likely to reflect the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved. view more (2007-11-01)
Successful prevention of sudden death by ICD has implications for heart failure
Researchers believe a device that treats electrical malfunctions in the heart is so effective at preventing sudden death that very ill patients are living long enough to develop heart failure. view more (2006-06-13)
ACE inhibitors may reduce death, heart attack and stroke in patients with coronary artery disease
ngiotension-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, medications commonly used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), may reduce cardiovascular risk and the risk of death in patients with coronary artery disease. view more (2006-04-11)
