International study identifies gene variants associated with early heart attack
The largest study ever completed of genetic factors associated with heart attacks has identified nine genetic regions - three not previously described - that appear to increase the risk for early-onset myocardial infarction. view more (2009-02-09)
Current diagnostic criteria missing more than 25% of heart attacks
The UK's reliance on old criteria to diagnose heart attacks among patients with severe chest pain suggests that more than 25% of cases are being missed, reveals a study in Heart. In 2000 the European Society of Cardiology and the American College of Cardiology recommended the use of rises in a set of proteins called troponins for the detection... view more... (2003-11-18)
Proton pump inhibitors increase risk of heart attacks for patients on common cardiac drug
Patients taking the common cardiac drug clopidogrel following a heart attack are at a significantly higher risk of a recurrence if they are also taking widely used acid-lowering medications called proton pump inhibitors, a new study published online in CMAJ has found (http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/rapidpdf/cmaj.082001). view more (2009-01-29)

Tiny particles can deliver antioxidant enzyme to injured heart cells
Researchers at Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed microscopic polymer beads that can deliver an antioxidant enzyme made naturally by the body into the heart. view more (2009-11-16)
Probably wireless
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) used to detect and report events including hurricanes, earthquakes, and forest fires and for military surveillance and antiterrorist activities are prone to subterfuge. view more (2008-09-04)
New research shows sharks use their noses and bodies to locate smells
Sharks are known to have a keen sense of smell, which in many species is critical for finding food. However, according to new research from Boston University marine biologists, sharks can not use just their noses to locate prey; they also need their skin - specifically a location called the lateral line. view more (2007-05-30)
Aspirin reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, though effects differ between men and women
An analysis of previous studies indicates that use of aspirin significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in women and in men, due to reducing the risk of stroke in women and reducing the risk of heart attack in men. view more (2006-01-18)
CT imaging with use of novel contrast agent may predict heart attack in waiting
A new imaging technology may hold the key to not only stopping heart attacks in their tracks but also preventing them for ever occurring. view more (2007-04-10)
Clinical depression raises risk of death for heart attack patients years after attack
Depressed heart attack patients have a higher risk for sudden death in the months following a heart attack. Now a team led by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found that the risk continues for many years. view more (2008-03-04)
Sleep apnea increases risk of heart attack or death by 30 percent

Elevated CO2 in atmosphere weakens defenses of soybeans to herbivores
In research to be presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Plant Biologists in Chicago (July 7-11, 2007), scientists will show that elevated CO2 may negatively impact the relationship between some plants and insects. view more (2007-07-09)
Debate focuses on door-to-balloon time in heart attack treatment
In the treatment of heart attack, the 90-minute goal for inflation of an angioplasty balloon in a blocked coronary artery to restore normal blood flow is so revered it's been codified in clinical guidelines, accreditation standards, and pay-for-performance programs. view more (2007-05-14)
H1N1 simulation modeling shows rapid vaccine rollout effective in reducing infection rates
Early action, especially rapid rollout of vaccines, is extremely effective in reducing the attack rate of the H1N1 influenza virus, according to a simulation model of a pandemic outbreak reported in a new study in CMAJ. view more (2009-10-14)
Killer carbs -- Monash scientist finds the key to overeating as we age
A Monash University scientist has discovered key appetite control cells in the human brain degenerate over time, causing increased hunger and potentially weight-gain as we grow older. view more (2008-08-21)
Chest Pain Center Accreditation Linked with Better Outcomes in Heart Attack Patients
Hospitals accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers (SCPC) have been shown to perform better in the heart attack core measures established by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as compared to non-accredited hospitals, according to a national study led by an Emory University researcher. view more (2008-07-10)
