A new genetic discovery made by a University of Michigan team may help explain why some people develop high blood pressure and others don't - and why some people's blood pressure increases as they age. view more (2005-10-18)
New technique for detecting cardiac fibrosis
A medical team of the Basque Country has discovered a new technique to detect cardiac fibrosis. After a research carried out during several years, it has been discovered that serum leves of PIP peptide is an indicator of increased myocardial fibrosis. Fibrosis is formed when scar tissue is accumulated in heart. As a consequence it causes... view more... (2002-03-21)

Study Helps Explain Connection Between Sleep Apnea, Stroke And Death
Obstructive sleep apnea decreases blood flow to the brain, elevates blood pressure within the brain and eventually harms the brain's ability to modulate these changes and prevent damage to itself, according to a new study published by The American Physiological Society. view more (2009-01-06)
Being overweight may independently increase risk for heart disease events
Being moderately overweight or obese appears to increase the risk for developing coronary heart disease events independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. view more (2007-09-11)
New information about how fat increases blood pressure could help identify those at risk
Some of the first information about how fat causes hypertension have been identified by researchers who say the findings should one day help identify which obese people - and maybe some thin ones too - are at risk for hypertension and which drugs would work best for them. view more (2009-09-01)
New treatment effective in counteracting cocaine-induced symptoms
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have discovered a treatment that counteracts the effects of cocaine on the human cardiovascular system, including lowering the elevated heart rate and blood pressure often found in cocaine users. view more (2007-08-13)

Researchers at The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee have identified the genetic region in rats responsible for cardiovascular collapse during anesthesia. view more (2009-09-11)
New risk factor for heart disease identified
Physicians can now identify overweight people at very high risk of developing heart disease, thanks to research published this week in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. People who suffer from heart disease are more likely to produce smaller versions of a protein called apolipoprotein(a). Being overweight increases your risk of suffering from heart... view more...
