Statins Could Reduce Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease
The benefit of statins to prevent cardiovascular disease could extend to people receiving therapy for high blood pressure, conclude authors of an international study published in THE LANCET this week.1 Statins (a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs) are well known for their effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular risk. No study, however, has... view more... (2003-03-31)
Emergency treatment strategies, better communication reduce heart attack patient deaths
Four western New York hospitals using emergency treatment strategies emphasizing evidence-based therapy and better communication among health care providers reduced heart attack patient deaths by 19 percent for up to one year after patient discharge. view more (2009-02-13)

New study suggests Rx estrogen delivery through the skin may show safety benefits as opposed to oral delivery
Transdermal delivery of estrogen therapy available by prescription "seems not to alter" the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), or blood clotting, in postmenopausal patients when compared to oral delivery, a new study suggests. view more (2009-03-27)
Study calls for 'as soon as possible' treatment standard for heart attack patients
Once in hospital, heart attack patients should be treated without delay to cut their risk of death, ideally within even less than the 90 minutes currently recommended by clinical guidelines. view more (2009-05-20)
Inflammation worsens danger due to atherosclerosis
Current research suggests that inflammation increases the risk of plaque rupture in atherosclerosis. The related report by Ovchinnikova et al, "T cell activation leads to reduced collagen maturation in atherosclerotic plaques of ApoE-deficient- mice," appears in the February 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2009-01-23)
A consistent decline in heart attack rates following the implementation of smoking bans
Strongly enforced legislation to restrict smoking produces rapid and substantial reductions in community rates of heart attack, according to a meta-analysis published today in Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-09-22)
Researchers from CIC bioGUNE have found a way to treat ischemic pathologies
A team of researchers from CIC bioGUNE from the Cellular Biology and Stem Cell Unit, alongside a team from Paris' Cardiovascular Research Centre (INSERM U970) have developed a new area of research which looks extremely promising as regards the development of new therapeutic responses to ischemic pathologies and cardiovascular diseases in general. view more (2009-08-05)
It's never too late to 'hurry up' angioplasty treatment
Slicing minutes off the time it takes hospitals to deliver emergency angioplasty (the "door-to-balloon" time) improves the survival of appropriate heart attack patients, even when patients have been feeling symptoms for a few hours. view more (2006-06-05)
Diabetes drug class linked to vision-threatening complication
Treatment with the glitazone class of diabetes drugs leads to a "modest" increase in the risk of diabetic macular edema (DME)-a common complication that can lead to vision loss. view more (2009-04-02)
Two drugs may stabilize plaques in atherosclerosis
Two drugs that a Wake Forest University School of Medicine research team has been investigating for lupus for several years may stabilize atherosclerotic plaque in the walls of arteries and help avert heart attacks and strokes. view more (2006-11-13)
APOLIPOPROTEINS COULD BE BETTER PREDICTOR OF HEART ATTACK THAN CHOLESTEROL (pp 2012, 2026)
Measurement of lipid components called apolipoproteins could be a better indicator of heart-attack risk than conventional cholesterol assessment, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Hypercholesterolaemia, especially high concentrations of LDL-cholesterol, is one of the strongest risk factors for atherosclerotic... view more... (2001-12-12)
ACE inhibitors may reduce death, heart attack and stroke in patients with coronary artery disease

Caffeine limits blood flow to heart muscle during exercise
In healthy volunteers, the equivalent of two cups of coffee reduced the body's ability to boost blood flow to the heart muscle in response to exercise, and the effect was stronger when the participants were in a chamber simulating high altitude. view more (2006-01-16)
Safety of antithrombotic treatment in acute coronary syndromes
The management of acute coronary syndromes (with or without ST segment elevation) requires the use of anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel and/or glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors), beta-blockers, thrombolytics in some cases, and revascularization / reperfusion. view more (2008-09-03)
