A missing enzyme conveys major heart protection in pre-clinical work
Mice born without a certain enzyme can resist the normal effects of a heart attack and retain nearly normal function in the heart's ventricles and still-oxygenated heart tissue, according to a study by researchers at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2009-03-31)
Diabetics with previous foot ulcers may be able to participate in walking program
More than 20 million Americans are living with diabetes, and that number is expected to increase by more than 5 million by 2010. view more (2009-01-14)
Blocking nerve cells delays onset of prion disease
A chemical that specifically blocking parts of the nervous system can delay the onset of scrapie and could lead to new drugs to prevent vCJD and BSE, medical experts heard today (Thursday 10 January 2002) during a joint meeting of the European Societies of Clinical and Veterinary Virology and the Society for General Microbiology at the Royal... view more...

Different treatment options in chronic coronary artery disease
Sometimes cardiologists and cardiac surgeons can agree! There is often disagreement between the professions of cardiology and cardiac surgery about the proper therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD)-and this can harm the patient. view more (2009-04-28)
Global positioning tracker may better gauge severity of peripheral artery disease
A space-based technology may provide an inexpensive and more reliable way to gauge the walking capacity in many patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), whose clogged leg arteries cause them severe pain when they walk, according to a report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2008-02-05)
Lifestyle changes remain important in fighting peripheral arterial disease
Modifying the risk of peripheral arterial disease (or PAD)-with healthy lifestyle changes-remains vital to one's health, note researchers in a recent issue of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology. view more (2009-10-22)
Aspirin works for primary prevention in moderate and high risk diabetics
The beneficial effects of aspirin in primary prevention of cardiovascular events i.e. stroke, MI and cardiac death are known and generally accepted. view more (2009-08-31)
Smoking, diabetes predict different forms of peripheral artery disease

Stent Or Bypass Surgery For Coronary Artery Disease?
An international study in this week`s issue of THE LANCET highlights how patients given bypass surgery for blocked or narrowed coronary arteries are less likely to require further intervention than patients given stent-assisted balloon angioplasty. The study also reported an apparent survival benefit for patients given bypass surgery over those... view more... (2002-09-25)
Seaweed and fireflies brew may guide stem cell treatment for peripheral artery disease
An unlikely brew of seaweed and glow-in-the-dark biochemical agents may hold the key to the safe use of transplanted stem cells to treat patients with severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD), according to a team of veterinarians, basic scientists and interventional radiologists at Johns Hopkins. view more (2009-03-10)
New Developments in Angiogenic Therapy Emerging from Oxford
Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, is important in the healthy body for healing wounds and, in females, for the monthly reproductive cycle and during pregnancy. It is controlled in the body through the use of the body’s own angiogenesis inhibitors and stimulators. In certain diseases the body is unable to control blood vessel... view more... (2002-08-23)
Symptoms of depression linked to early stages of artery disease
Depressive symptoms—especially physical signs, such as fatigue and loss of appetite—may be associated with thickening arteries, which may reflect an early sign of coronary artery disease. view more (2007-02-06)
Education level linked with presence of coronary artery calcium deposits
Higher levels of education are associated with a lower prevalence of coronary artery calcium, an indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis (thickening and plaque deposits in the artery walls) among young adults and those in early middle age. view more (2006-04-19)
Erectile dysfunction may signal early atherosclerosis
Erectile dysfunction may be a sign that coronary artery disease is developing, even in men without typical risk factors, according to a new study in the Oct. 18, 2005, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. view more (2005-10-12)
Calcium scans may be effective screening tool for heart disease
A simple, non-invasive test appears to be an effective screening tool for identifying patients with silent heart disease who are at risk for a heart attack or sudden death. view more (2009-09-30)
Study locates cholesterol genes; finds surprises about good, bad cholesterol
An international study of 20,000 people found seven new genes that influence blood cholesterol levels, a major factor in heart disease, and confirmed 11 other genes previously thought to influence cholesterol. view more (2008-01-14)

Depression leads to higher health care costs for women cardiovascular patients, national study shows
Women with suspected coronary artery disease who suffer from depression have significantly higher health care costs than those who are not depressed, according to findings from the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE), an ongoing, multicenter study funded by the National Institutes of Health. view more (2009-03-10)
High triglycerides, other cholesterol raise risk of stroke
People with high triglycerides and another type of cholesterol tested but not usually evaluated as part of a person's risk assessment have an increased risk of a certain type of stroke. view more (2007-12-27)
