Stress imaging tests predict prognosis of heart disease in obese persons
Researchers identified an accurate method that may detect whether obese individuals have a low, intermediate or high risk of coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. view more (2006-08-02)
Sexual dissatisfaction in postmenopausal women not linked to cardiovascular disease
Although sexual dysfunction in some men is predictive of cardiovascular disease, this association has never been examined in women. view more (2008-04-03)
Research identifies in-flight emergencies
Fainting is the most common in-flight medical emergency. Research recently published in BioMed Central's open access journal Critical Care details the number, type and frequency of medical emergencies on board two airlines. view more (2009-01-26)
High humidity is a risk factor for heart attack deaths among the elderly
High humidity, even in a relatively mild climate, boosts the risk of a heart attack among the elderly, reveals research published ahead of print in Heart. view more (2006-07-13)
Antibiotics do not prevent recurrent myocardial infarcts in subjects with periodontitis
Periodontitis, an infection of the gingiva and tooth-supporting tissues, may influence the effectiveness of antibiotics used for the prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events. view more (2006-01-05)
New system devised to guide doctors treating patients with symptomatic myocardial bridging
What type of intervention, if any, should cardiologists offer their patients who have a heart abnormality called myocardial bridging and symptoms of heart problems? view more (2008-06-26)
Best use of drug-eluting stents
Compared with bare metal stents, drug-eluting stents substantially reduce the risk of angiographic and clinical recurrence but do not affect mortality or the short term or long term risk of myocardial infarction. view more (2008-09-02)
Job strain after heart attack linked to risk for another heart attack
Persons who reported chronic job strain after a first heart attack (myocardial infarction) had about twice the risk of experiencing another coronary heart disease event such as heart attack or unstable angina than those without chronic job strain. view more (2007-10-10)
Human derived stem cells can repair rat hearts damaged by heart attack
When human heart muscle cells derived from embryonic stem cells are implanted into a rat after a heart attack, they can help rebuild the animal's heart muscle and improve function of the organ, scientists report in the September issue of Nature Biotechnology. view more (2007-08-27)
Early reports of thrombosis after insertion of drug-eluting stent (pp 1466, 1519)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how the use of drug-eluting stents (DES) may carry a risk of subsequent thrombosis if stenting is accompanied by a withdrawal of antiplatelet therapy. view more (2004-10-20)
MRI is Better Than SPECT in Assessing Heart Damage in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Contrast-enhanced MRI is better than SPECT in detecting heart damage in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease that can lead to sudden death in young patients. view more (2005-08-08)
More Than 200 New Genes Discovered
Finnish company Jurilab has announced the completion of a genome-wide scan in Acute Myocardial Infarction in the East Finland Founder Population. The study gives invaluable insight into the interplay of different genes and pathways leading to coronary disease. The study has re-affirmed the majority of genes previously known to be associated with... view more... (2004-08-12)
GENETICS OF BLOOD CLOTTING FACTORS (pp 83, 101)
People with a family history of coronary heart disease are thought more likely to develop the disease themselves, because of a combination of genetic and shared environmental factors. Researchers use twin or adoption studies to establish whether genetic or environmental factors are more important in the development of a particular disease. There... view more... (2001-01-11)
New sensitive markers to detect myocardial infarction
New biomarkers significantly improve the early detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Recent studies reveal a novel and promising way for doctors to conclusively ensure that a patient is having or not having an AMI in a timely and accurate manner saving time and money. view more (2009-08-31)
'Autoantibodies' may be created in response to bacterial DNA
Autoimmune diseases have long been regarded as illnesses in which the immune system creates autoantibodies to attack the body itself. view more (2009-04-28)
Dutch study finds four in 10 heart attacks go unrecognised
Dutch researchers who assessed over 4,000 men and women over 55 to see how many heart attacks went undiagnosed at the time they occurred, found that the figure was more than four in 10. view more (2006-02-14)
ESC Congress 2003: Prothrombotic mutations are associated with increased cardiovascular events in postmenopausal women receiving hormone replacement therapy
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 Recent studies have suggested that hormone replacement therapy may be associated with an increased... view more...

Developing depression after a heart attack increases one's risk of death or readmission
Science has found many links between depression and other serious medical illnesses, such as cancer, stroke, diabetes, and heart disease. view more (2008-10-22)
Environmental factors, particularly air pollution, increases risk of myocardial infarction
Exposure to air pollutants increases the risk of fatal myocardial infarction (MI), particularly pollutants caused by motor traffic. This is the conclusion of a new thesis published by Karolinska Institutet. view more (2005-04-22)
Children's Hospital scientists achieve repair of injured heart muscle in lab tests of stem cells
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have been able to effectively repair damaged heart muscle in an animal model using a novel population of stem cells they discovered that is derived from human skeletal muscle tissue. view more (2008-11-26)
