Canadian cardiology team clears the way for lifesaving breast cancer treatment
A team of Canadian cardiologists, in collaboration with oncologists, are playing an important role in the war against breast cancer Dr. Michael McDonald told the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress 2009, co-hosted by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. view more (2009-10-26)
Malfunctioning kidneys may raise risk of sudden death in women
Women whose kidneys are poor at filtering impurities from the blood are at heightened risk of sudden cardiac death, according to a report published in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2008-04-08)
Mayo Genomic Discovery: Protecting Kidney Function During Heart Failure
Mayo Clinic cardiology researchers have found a peptide that helps preserve and improve kidney function during heart failure, without affecting blood pressure. view more (2009-06-16)
Lungs' pressure needn't threaten heart transplant survival
Heart surgeons at Johns Hopkins say people who need heart transplants can largely avoid transplant failure due to elevated blood pressure in their lungs with the help of proper drug treatment. view more (2007-11-07)
Congestive heart failure leads to greater disability, nursing home admissions
Medical breakthroughs in recent decades have allowed heart attack survivors and other heart-disease patients to live longer. But as their hearts decline into congestive heart failure, an increasing number will experience disability and the need for nursing-home care. view more (2008-01-08)
Amias® (candesartan cilexetil), an antihypertensive drug, now shows clear benefits in symptomatic heart failure
Amias® (candesartan cilexetil), an antihypertensive drug, now shows clear benefits in symptomatic heart failure CHARM Study Programme demonstrates that Amias® saves lives and reduces hospitalisation in heart failure, irrespective of background therapy European Society of Cardiology, Vienna, 31st August 2003 - Exciting results from the... view more...

Bridging the gap - mechanical support could increase survival of children requiring heart transplantation (pp 1948, 1967)
Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 12 December 2003. Fewer children should die while waiting for a heart transplant if they are given mechanical heart support before transplantation, conclude authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Short-term mechanical heart support has potential for aiding children requiring heart transplantation.... view more... (2003-12-10)
Gene test determines risk of heart surgery complications
Genetic differences can explain why some patients undergoing heart surgery later experience shock and kidney complications. view more (2009-05-01)
Exercise is safe, improves quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure
Regular exercise is safe for heart failure patients and may slightly lower their risk of death or hospitalization, according to results from the largest and most comprehensive clinical trial to examine the effects of exercise in chronic heart failure patients. view more (2009-04-08)
Seven-point system gauges seriousness of heart failure in elderly
A simple points system may soon help guide treatment of elderly heart failure patients. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that by counting how many of seven easy-to-obtain health factors a patient has, physicians can estimate the patient's risk of dying. view more (2006-11-10)
Study may explain why exercise helps heart failure patients
Aerobic training is associated with a reversal of abnormal hormonal patterns that underlie many of the debilitating symptoms of heart failure. view more (2006-04-28)
Improved predictive value of biomarkers in HF makes earlier diagnosis and better management possible
With an ever ageing population and more people surviving a heart attack, heart failure is now the world's most prevalent chronic cardiovascular disease. Yet despite improvements in its diagnosis and management, heart failure remains a stubbornly incurable condition with a poor prognosis, largely amenable to little more than palliative therapy. view more (2009-03-30)
Extra 'STICH' in bypass adds no benefit to quality of life
A surgical procedure to resize an enlarged, weakened heart muscle during coronary bypass surgery for heart failure adds cost and risk but doesn't offer patients any additional benefit when compared with those who received bypass procedure alone, according to researchers from the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI). view more (2009-03-30)
Study puts brakes on extending indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy
A randomized, controlled, multi-center trial has found that cardiac resynchronization therapy produced no improvement in peak oxygen uptake during exercise testing, the trial's primary endpoint, in patients with Class III heart failure, including mechanical problems that disrupt the heart's normal rhythm and a moderately prolonged QRS complex as... view more...

Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 -- a potential link between heart failure and diabetes
Researchers at the University of Vermont Cardiovascular Research Institute, Colchester, Vermont have found that increased expression in the heart of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is profibrotic. view more (2009-02-24)
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)
Use of pulmonary artery catheterization does not show benefit for severe heart failure patients
Hospitalized patients with severe congestive heart failure did not experience a benefit from use of pulmonary artery catheterization, but had more adverse events, according to a study in the October 5 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-10-05)
Heart-failure patients benefit from pharmacist care
Heart-failure patients take their medicine more reliably when under the care of a pharmacist, resulting in fewer emergency-room visits and hospital stays as well as lower health-care costs, according to a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Pharmacy. view more (2007-05-15)
