Study shows digitalis safe in patients with common form of heart failure
Despite a widely held belief that the heart drug digitalis shouldn't be given to patients with diastolic heart failure, a new analysis shows it is relatively safe. view more (2006-07-26)
Mock CPR drills in kids show many residents fail in key skills, Hopkins study reveals
Research from the Johns Hopkins Children's Center exposes alarming gaps in training hospital residents in "first response" emergency treatment of staged cardiorespiratory arrests in children, while at the same time offering a potent recipe for fixing the problem. view more (2009-05-19)
For Patients With Cirrhosis, Inflammation May Be Common Thread Behind Nervous And Heart Rhythm Problems
Liver cirrhosis is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, taking 25,000 lives per year. view more (2009-02-10)
New data finds recalls of automated external defibrillators to be common
Data presented today at the Heart Rhythm Society's 27th Annual Scientific Sessions finds that during a 10-year study period more than one in five automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) were recalled due to potential malfunction. view more (2006-05-19)
ESC Congress 2003: Spirolactone may normalize the circadian non-dipper blood pressure rhythm in salt-sensitive black hypertensives
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 spironolactone (a drug that is able to antagonise the effects of... view more...

The benefits of reperfusion therapy
The wider use of reperfusion therapy in patients with heart attack (AMI) can save millions of lives in Europe. view more (2009-09-01)
Missing or mutated 'clock' gene linked to vascular disease
The circadian clocks that set the rhythmic motion of our bodies for wakeful days and sleepy nights can also set us up for vascular disease when broken, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-03-26)
Breakthrough in unravelling the causes of sudden cardiac death in young people
Scientists at the Wales Heart Research Institute, Cardiff University have made a breakthrough in our understanding of the causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young people. view more (2005-12-09)
Obesity common in children with heart disease
Obesity is common in children with heart disease, a population already at increased risk of a shortened life expectancy. view more (2007-11-02)
ESC Congress 2004: Trial shows benefits of new anti-arrhythmetic agent, dronedarone, in the management of cardiac arrhythmia
On behalf of the Steering Committee of the EURopean trial In atrial fibrillation or flutter patients receiving Dronedarone for the maIntenance of Sinus rhythm view more (2004-08-29)
Irbesartan reduces heart failure in patients with quivering heart
Most research in atrial fibrillation (AF) has focused on reducing stroke and other embolic events. Yet heart failure occurs more frequently in AF patients, but has not been the focus of intervention research. view more (2009-09-01)
iPods and similar devices found not to affect pacemaker function
Last May, a widely reported study concluded that errant electronic noise from iPods can cause implantable cardiac pacemakers to malfunction. This just didn't sound right to the cardiac electrophysiologists at Children's Hospital Boston, who've seen hundreds of children, teens and young adults with heart conditions requiring pacemakers. view more (2008-03-31)
ESC Congress 2004: Dronedarone is effective and well-tolerated in the prevention of atrial fibrillation recurrence
On behalf of the Steering Committee of the American-Australian-African trial with DronedarONe In atrial fibrillation or flutter patients for the maintenance of Sinus rhythm view more (2004-08-29)
UT Southwestern recruiting patients for heart-failure device study
Physicians at UT Southwestern Medical Center are part of a multinational clinical trial evaluating a unique implantable device designed to treat a larger number of patients with heart failure. view more (2006-10-18)
New mechanism for cardiac arrhythmia discovered
It has long been thought that virus infections can cause cardiac arrhythmia. But why has not been understood. Ulrike Lisewski, Dr. Yu Shi, Michael Radke and Professor Michael Gotthardt of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch, Germany, have now discovered the molecular mechanism. view more (2008-09-18)
Study led by Scripps Research scientist reveals little-known cell networks vital to circadian rhythm
Circadian rhythm is the basic 24-hour cycle that involves various behaviors, including sleeping and eating, in all living organisms. In mammals, the circadian clock is organized hierarchically in a series of multiple oscillators. view more (2007-05-04)
Atrial fibrillation: Drugs or ablation?
Atrial fibrillation ablation is one of the fastest growing techniques in cardiology and due to the very high number of patients that might be candidates to this procedure, a significant number of resources will have to be devoted to it to be able to treat them in the following years. view more (2009-09-01)
Researchers develop innovative imaging system to study sudden cardiac arrest
A research team at Vanderbilt University has developed an innovative optical system to simultaneously image electrical activity and metabolic properties in the same region of a heart, to study the complex mechanisms that lead to sudden cardiac arrest. view more (2009-11-02)
Big men more susceptible to atrial fibrillation
Older men who were big during their 20s face an increased risk of suffering from atrial fibrillation, or abnormal heart rhythm. New research from the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, reveals that height and weight are both factors. view more (2009-04-03)
Gladstone scientists identify critical gene factor in heart development
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) announced they have identified a critical genetic factor in the control of many aspects of heart form and function. view more (2007-03-30)
