Naturally-occuring protein may be effective in limiting heart attack injury and restoring function
Medical College of Wisconsin researchers in Milwaukee have shown for the first time that thrombopoietin (TPO), a naturally occurring protein being developed as a pharmaceutical to increase platelet count in cancer patients during chemotherapy, can also protect the heart against injury during a heart attack. view more (2008-05-07)
Further Evidence That Hrt Does Not Protect Against Cardiovascular Disease (p 2001)
Results of a UK randomised trial published in this week's issue of THE LANCET provides further evidence that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not offer women protection against cardiovascular disease. Previous observational studies have suggested that HRT could reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but results of randomised trials... view more... (2002-12-18)
Advances in Computer Network Intrusion Detection
Researchers from Oxford University's Computing Laboratory have developed techniques to spot malicious attacks on computer networks, that include the use of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) techniques to automatically determine the semantics of novel attack strategies. Intrusions often take place where there are vulnerabilities within computer... view more... (2002-09-30)
When the national football team wins, the number of fatal heart attacks goes down…
A win for the national football team means fewer deaths from a heart attack, reveals a study in Heart. view more (2003-04-11)
Study finds implantable defibrillators as effective in women as in men
Women who have had a heart attack get as much survival benefit as men from implanted cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), devices designed to monitor the heart's pumping rhythm and shock it back to normal when needed, according to a study published in the December edition of the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology. view more (2005-12-23)
High humidity is a risk factor for heart attack deaths among the elderly
High humidity, even in a relatively mild climate, boosts the risk of a heart attack among the elderly, reveals research published ahead of print in Heart. view more (2006-07-13)
Early myocardial enhancement defects on multidetector CT predicts future myocardial viability
Early myocardial enhancement defects (dark spots) on multidetector CT are valuable predictors of myocardial viability in patients who have suffered a heart attack. view more (2006-05-03)
Job loss late in career doubles chances of heart attack and stroke
Losing your job late in your career doubles your chances of a heart attack or stroke, suggests research published ahead of print in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2006-06-21)
Bleeding hearts revealed with new scan
Images that for the first time show bleeding inside the heart after people have suffered a heart attack have been captured by scientists, in a new study published today in the journal Radiology. view more (2009-01-20)
Job strain after heart attack linked to risk for another heart attack
Persons who reported chronic job strain after a first heart attack (myocardial infarction) had about twice the risk of experiencing another coronary heart disease event such as heart attack or unstable angina than those without chronic job strain. view more (2007-10-10)
Psoriasis associated with increased risk for heart attack
Adults with psoriasis, especially younger patients with severe psoriasis, appear to be at increased risk for a heart attack. view more (2006-10-11)
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)
New drug may reduce heart attack damage
A new drug that targets a master disease-causing gene can dramatically reduce heart muscle damage after a heart attack and may lead to significantly improved patient outcomes, UNSW researchers have shown. view more (2009-07-24)
Doctors aggressively treat early heart attacks, research shows
An international study involving 467 hospitals in 12 countries found that doctors do a good job of aggressively treating the early stages of heart attacks - even before laboratory tests confirm the diagnosis. view more (2007-04-10)
Overfishing great sharks wiped out North Carolina bay scallop fishery
Fewer big sharks in the oceans led to the destruction of North Carolina's bay scallop fishery and inhibits the recovery of depressed scallop, oyster and clam populations along the U.S. Atlantic Coast, according to an article in the March 30 issue of the journal Science. view more (2007-03-30)
Statins, beta-blockers lessen heart attack risk, says Stanford-Kaiser study
or patients with undiagnosed heart disease, taking medications known as statins and beta-blockers may mean the difference between suffering a heart attack as a first symptom versus experiencing mild chest pain. view more (2006-02-21)
Protein may predict heart attack and early death, not stroke
People with high levels of a protein called C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker for inflammation in the blood, may be at higher risk for heart attack and death but not stroke, according to a study published in the October 20, 2009, print issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2009-10-20)
Oxygen-saturated blood reduces levels of damaged heart tissue following a heart attack
Results of a clinical trial published today in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions demonstrate that an infusion of blood that is "supersaturated" with oxygen (SS02) can reduce the amount of damaged heart muscle immediately following a life-threatening heart attack. view more (2009-09-16)
New meat-eating dinosaur duo from Sahara ate like hyenas, sharks
Two new 110 million-year-old dinosaurs unearthed in the Sahara Desert highlight the unusual meat-eaters that prowled southern continents during the Cretaceous Period. Named Kryptops and Eocarcharia in a paper appearing this month in the scientific journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, the fossils were discovered in 2000 on an expedition led by... view more...
