Leaving your heart attack to chance
People who believe their health is largely due to chance are more likely to wait over four hours to seek medical help after having a heart attack. This is the finding of research by Professor Ronan O'Carroll, University of St Andrews and colleagues from the University of Edinburgh, presented today, Friday 7 September, at the joint British... view more...

Unveiling the underwater ways of the white shark
It's hard to study a creature when you only catch fleeting glimpses of it. Up until recently, that was one of the big stumbling blocks for marine biologists and ecologists, but advances in electronic tracking technology have allowed them to peer farther across, and deeper under, the surface of the oceans than ever before. view more (2008-02-19)
New piece in the jigsaw puzzle of human origins
In an article in today's Nature, Uppsala researcher Martin Brazeau describes the skull and jaws of a fish that lived about 410 million years ago. The study may give important clues to the origin of jawed vertebrates, and thus ultimately our own evolution. view more (2009-01-16)
Social deprivation linked to heart attack survival
Socioeconomic deprivation has a profound effect on the risk of having a first heart attack, the chance of reaching hospital alive, and the probability of surviving the first month, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Data obtained from the Scottish Morbidity Record and General Register Office revealed that between 1986 and 1995 in Scotland, 44,465... view more... (2001-05-09)
Tags reveal white sharks have neighborhoods in the north Pacific, say Stanford researchers
The white shark may be the ultimate loner of the ocean, cruising thousands of miles in a solitary trek, but a team of researchers has discovered that the sharks have maintained such a consistent pattern of migration that over tens of thousands of years the white sharks in the northeastern Pacific Ocean have separated themselves into a population... view more...

Higher risk of death in heart attack victims with no chest pain
An absence of chest pain during a heart attack increases the risk of death, shows research in Heart. Previous research shows that chest pain is not typical of a heart attack in around one in four patients. The study focused on 3684 admissions to 20 adjacent hospitals in Yorkshire for suspected heart attack for three months in 1995. In 2100 cases a... view more... (2001-10-12)

Dialysis safe for kidney patients' heart health
Dialysis treatments do not affect the heart health of kidney disease patients who have had a heart attack, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society Nephrology (CJASN). view more (2009-07-10)
Elevated biomarkers lead to diminished quality of life in heart attack patients post-discharge
Many heart attack patients have high levels of cardiac biomarkers in the blood for several months after leaving the hospital, with more shortness of breath and chest pain, according to a Henry Ford Hospital study. view more (2009-11-16)
Jefferson Researchers Find Drug May Give Some Cardiac Protection 24 Hours After Heart Attack

Mayo Clinic researchers: Stroke risk significant in month following heart attack
"While our research reaffirmed the risk of stroke among patients with heart disease, the surprise was that the risk was so high in the month after a heart attack," says Veronique Roger, M.D., M.P.H., the Mayo Clinic cardiologist who led the study. view more (2005-12-06)
Heart attack in a laboratory dish
NWO researchers at Utrecht University have given heart muscle cells a heart attack in the laboratory. This allowed them to observe clearly the change that takes place in the cell membrane during an attack and how the change sometimes leads to the death of the cell. In a healthy cell, one of the components of the membrane, the phospholipids, are... view more... (2001-05-08)
People with obsessional personalities more likely to experience heart attacks
People prone to highly obsessional thoughts and physical symptoms of anxiety are susceptible to heart attacks, finds research in Heart. A 20 year study of over 1400 men showed that those who had highly obsessional thought patterns and physical (somatic) symptoms of anxiety were significantly more likely to die of a heart attack. The men were... view more... (2001-03-13)
EARLY REVASCULARISATION COULD SUBSTANTIALY REDUCE DEATH WITHIN ONE YEAR OF HEART ATTACK (p 1805)
Authors of a Swedish study in this week's issue of THE LANCET conclude that early revascularisation-the restoration of coronary artery blood flow with balloon angioplasty or stenting-could substantially improve survival within the first year after a severe heart attack. Revascularisation is often not considered a priority in the days after a... view more... (2002-05-22)
Hospital-based smoking cessation program after heart attack adds to success
Hospital-based smoking cessation programs, along with referrals to cardiac rehabilitation, appear to be associated with increased rates of quitting smoking following heart attack, according to a report in the Oct. 13, 2008, issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-10-14)
Long working hours and lack of sleep may double heart attack risk
Working 60 or more hours a week, and regularly not getting much sleep, may double the risk of having a heart attack, shows research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. The study, which ran from 1996 to 1998, focused on 260 men between the ages of 40 and 79, who had been admitted to hospital for a first time heart attack, which they... view more... (2002-07-08)
Depression, health care services and heart attacks -- what's the connection?
Depression symptoms are associated with significantly higher use of healthcare services following a heart attack, according to a new study released today by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). view more (2008-10-22)
High blood pressure is a poor predictor of heart disease
Blood pressure screening either alone or in combination with other cardiovascular risk factors such as cholesterol levels does not determine a person's chance of having a heart attack or stroke, reports Professor Malcolm Law and colleagues at the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine in the current issue of the Journal of Medical Screening.... view more...

Risk of heart problems among diabetic patients less than previously thought
