Limbs saved by menstrual blood stem cells
Cells obtained from menstrual blood, termed 'endometrial regenerative cells' (ERCs) are capable of restoring blood flow in an animal model of advanced peripheral artery disease.   view more (2008-08-19)

Asymptomatic peripheral artery disease prevalence is rising
The prevalence of asymptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) is steadily increasing among American adults.   view more (2007-11-05)

Secondhand smoke significantly increased the risk of women developing peripheral artery disease (PAD) in a Chinese study, researchers reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.   view more (2008-09-23)

Study shows CT angiography can replace digital subtraction angiography
CT angiography (CTA) alone is an effective, noninvasive means to detect peripheral vascular disease.   view more (2007-05-07)

Automimmune response more common in people with severe coronary heart disease
The development of severe coronary artery disease may be part of a systemic autoimmune response, suggests research in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.   view more (2002-01-15)

IU School of Medicine scientists testing stem cells for peripheral artery disease
Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have begun a unique clinical trial using stem cell injections as a treatment that could offer hope to tens of thousands of people who face sores, ulcers and even amputations due to severe peripheral artery disease.   view more (2006-02-10)

Predicting the risk of death in patients with known coronary artery disease
The extent of anatomic coronary artery disease, along with age and the presence of diabetes, is a strong predictor of subsequent death due to any cause and due to coronary artery disease (CAD).   view more (2006-02-14)

Genetic faults in heart enzyme increase risk of heart attack and stroke
Genetic faults, which produce an excess of a powerful enzyme, increase the risk of coronary artery disease and consequently, a heart attack, shows research in Heart. But the faulty genes do not speed up artery narrowing, the cause of acute coronary artery disease, the research shows. Over 850 men... view more (2001-03-13)

Breast screening shows that HRT can halve artery hardening
Hormone replacement therapy can halve breast artery hardening (calcification), and it’s an effect that can be picked up during a breast screen, reveals a study in the Journal of Medical Screening.   view more (2002-04-02)

Study looks at off-label use of biliary stents
Although approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a palliative treatment for cancer patients who have developed bile-duct obstructions, biliary stents are sometimes used "off-label" for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease (PVD).   view more (2008-01-21)

Protein key to neuro-regeneration
Researchers at the Peninsula Medical School in the South West of England, University College London, the San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan and Cancer Research UK, have for the first time identified a protein that is key to the regeneration of damage in the peripheral nervous system and... view more (2008-05-21)

Vascular biologists make a significant discovery in neurobiology
Researchers investigating blood vessels at Barts and The London School of Medicine have hit upon a new discovery in neurobiology that could have implications for patients experiencing peripheral nerve disorders.   view more (2007-11-30)

Carotid stenting the new anti-depressant?
Inserting a stent to open a narrowed carotid artery has been found to reduce symptoms of depression that may be associated with carotid stenosis, according to a study in the August issue of Radiology.   view more (2006-07-25)

Heart catheters do not benefit patients
Doctors should probably stop using pulmonary artery catheters because they do not benefit patients, say doctors from Australia in this week's BMJ.   view more (2006-11-03)

Atherothrombosis patients world-wide often have undertreated, undercontrolled risk factors
A large international study demonstrates that patients world-wide with atherothrombosis (coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease) often have cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity and hypertension that are undertreated and undercontrolled.   view more (2006-01-11)

Interventions can Improve Lifespan in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
A recent study using 2,467 patients with established coronary artery disease concluded that when medical facilities select interventional methods to lower cholesterol they experience improved morbidity and mortality in patients with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) - the leading cause of death in theUS.   view more (2004-11-10)

Still puzzling: Best care for the frail and elderly with coronary artery disease
A new study from Duke University Medical Center finds that patients treated solely with medications after suffering from chest pain, heart attack or coronary artery disease are more likely to die during the first year following their initial hospitalization.   view more (2008-07-21)

Physical activity extends life of patients with peripheral artery disease
Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who are physically active have death rates less than one third those in PAD patients who are inactive, according to research reported in the July issue of the journal Circulation.   view more (2006-07-06)

Bad cholesterol inhibits the breakdown of peripheral fat
he so called bad cholesterol (LDL) inhibits the breakdown of fat in cells of peripheral deposits, according to a study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet. The discovery reveals a novel function of LDL as a regulator of fat turnover besides its well-established detrimental... view more (2008-11-20)

ACE inhibitors may reduce death, heart attack and stroke in patients with coronary artery disease
ngiotension-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, medications commonly used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), may reduce cardiovascular risk and the risk of death in patients with coronary artery disease.   view more (2006-04-11)

SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN DEATH RATE AFTER BYPASS SURGERY FOR PEOPLE WITH ANAEMIA (p 1749)
Anaemic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery could have up to a five-fold increased risk of death in the days after surgery compared with patients who have normal haemoglobin concentrations, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. People with anaemia... view more (2002-05-15)

Genetic mutation found in peripheral artery disease
The finding, appearing online in the journal Circulation, is the first to document a genetic mutation linked to PAD. Although the work was done in mice, researchers say it is likely to give them new insight into how PAD develops and progresses in humans.   view more (2008-02-22)

Obese patients with coronary artery disease can consider bariatric surgery
Mayo Clinic researchers report in the September edition of Mayo Clinic Proceedings that bariatric surgery is a safe option for treating obese patients who have coronary artery disease.   view more (2005-09-13)
