You are less likely to survive a heart attack in winter than in summer
Almost 11,000 people who had suffered a heart attack between 1988 and 1997 were compared. Those whose attacks occurred in the winter tended to have a higher risk profile, in that they were older, more likely to be at home when the attack occurred, and less likely to be defibrillatedgiven an electrical current to stop abnormal heart rhythms.... view more...

Early use of statins after coronary syndromes does not reduce risk of heart attack, stroke or death
Beginning use of statins within 14 days of acute coronary syndromes (such as heart attack or unstable angina) does not decrease the risk of death, heart attack, or stroke, for up to 4 months, based on a meta-analysis of previously published studies. view more (2006-05-03)
Satellite technology allows scientists to track warm sharks in cold polar seas
Electronic tags broadcasting from the dorsal fins of salmon sharks reveal that these top predators migrate from the glacial waters of Alaska to the warm seas off Hawaii. view more (2005-10-07)
Even very light smokers run serious heart attack risk
Very light smokers significantly increase their risk of a heart attack, shows research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Furthermore, women are much more susceptible than men to the detrimental effects of tobacco, even if they don't inhale. The findings are based on a population sample of over 12,000 men and women taking part in... view more... (2002-08-12)

Study explores which carnivores are most likely to kill other carnivores
Ecologists used to think of prey as the most important factor governing the structure of predator communities. However, over the past twenty years, they have increasingly recognized the importance of interspecific killing - carnivores killing carnivores - in determining ecology and behavior. view more (2006-03-09)
Increased risk of heart attack or stroke for patients who are resistant to aspirin

Reduced Risk Of Recurrent Heart Attack With Anticoagulant Drug
Results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET show that patients given the anticoagulant drug, bivalirudin, had a reduced risk of recurrent heart attack compared with patients given conventional treatment with heparin. The combination of anticoagulant therapies (fibrinolytic therapy and the use of unfractionated heparin) for acute heart... view more... (2001-11-28)
Early Intervention Could Halve Angina Rate For People At Moderate Risk Of Heart Attack
Authors of a UK study published on THE LANCET's website today, Sunday 1 September-www.thelancet.com-suggest that angina could be halved if an interventional approach (such as balloon angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery) is used to treat people soon after they have been identified as being at moderate risk of heart attack. Considerable... view more... (2002-08-29)

Good old-fashioned detective work has turned up the first conclusive explanation for the origin of a massive bonebed in southern California, according to a new study led by a UBC paleontologist. view more (2009-06-09)
Aspirin protects patients at high risk of heart attack or stroke
Aspirin (or another antiplatelet drug) protects patients at high risk of serious vascular events, such as heart attack or stroke, and should be considered routinely for all such patients, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-09)
Overfishing large sharks impacts entire marine ecosystem, shrinks shellfish supply
Fewer big sharks in the oceans mean that bay scallops and other shellfish may be harder to find at the market, according to an article in the March 30 issue of the journal Science, tying two unlikely links in the food web to the same fate. view more (2007-03-30)
Damage inflicted during cardiac attacks more widespread than previously thought, MSU researchers find
Cholesterol crystals released in the bloodstream during a cardiac attack or stroke can damage artery linings much further away from the site of the attack, leaving survivors at greater risk than previously thought. view more (2008-11-12)
Unfair treatment boosts heart attack risk
Unfair treatment in life boosts a person's chances of having a heart attack, suggests research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2007-05-15)
Aspirin -- just for men?
First it was an apple, now it is an aspirin a day that may keep the doctor away. Aspirin has become standard for heart attack prevention, but research published in the online open access journal BMC Medicine suggests that this may really be a man's drug. view more (2007-10-18)
Study examines prevalence of chest pain in patients 1 year after heart attack

Individuals who have a genetic variation associated with slower caffeine metabolism appear to have an increased risk of non-fatal heart attack associated with higher amounts of coffee intake, according to a study in the March 8 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-03-08)
Inflammation markers linked more with fatal than nonfatal cardiovascular events in elderly
A study published this week in the open access journal PLoS Medicine shows that for elderly people at risk of cardiovascular disease, the presence of inflammatory markers in the blood can identify that an individual is at a higher risk of a fatal rather than a non-fatal heart attack or stroke. view more (2009-06-23)
