Intravenous delivery of clot-busting drug still best intervention for ischemic stroke
Intravenous delivery of an approved clot-busting drug remains the most beneficial proven intervention for ischemic stroke, according to updated American Heart Association/American Stroke Association guidelines published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2007-04-16)
Dental X-Rays of carotid artery not enough to estimate stroke risk
Detection of calcified tissue in the carotid artery by dental x-rays is not enough evidence to estimate a patient's stroke risk was the conclusion of a systematic literature review published in this month's Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). view more (2007-04-23)
Number of cardiovascular risk factors could determine safety of intravenous gammaglobulin treatment
New research out of Wake Forest University School of Medicine identifies the presence of cardiovascular risk factors as an indicator of how likely it is that elderly, hospitalized patients who receive intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment will have a stroke or heart attack. view more (2009-03-05)
Study shows heavy snoring is an independent risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis
A study in the Sept. 1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that objectively measured heavy snoring is an independent risk factor for early carotid atherosclerosis, which may progress to be associated with stroke. view more (2008-09-02)
Bottleneck in Blood Supply Makes Brain Vulnerable to Strokes
A team of UC San Diego physicists and neuroscientists has discovered a bottleneck in the network of blood vessels in the brain that makes it vulnerable to strokes. The finding may explain the origin of the puzzling damage to the brain's gray matter often detected in brain scans, especially among the elderly. view more (2007-01-05)
New drug could reduce tissue damage after heart attack
A study led by UCL (University College London) scientists has designed a new drug that inhibits the adverse effects of C reactive protein (CRP), a protein that contributes to tissue damage in heart attacks and strokes. view more (2006-04-27)
New test can rule out heart damage within six hours
A new test to assess chest pain in UK emergency departments can rule out the possibility of heart damage within six hours, allowing safe discharge of patients and reducing unnecessary admissions, finds a study in this week's BMJ. The current approach requires admission to hospital for a minimum of 24 hours. Over a 12-month period, researchers at... view more... (2001-08-15)
Nature's weapon against nerve agents
An enzyme found naturally in the blood could help protect soldiers against the effects of the deadly nerve agent sarin, reports Cath O'Driscoll in the Society of Chemical Industry's magazine Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. view more (2007-07-30)
Dual treatment for stroke leads to improved recovery rates, reduced mortality
It appears that stroke patients who receive both intravenous thrombolysis - a minimally invasive treatment that dissolves abnormal blood clots - and endovascular interventions - such as drugs and implanting medical devices - are much more likely to recover and have lower chances of dying. view more (2008-11-13)
Scientists Probe Genetics Of Brain Vulnerability
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are investigating why people with a specific genetic makeup are more likely to develop brain disease and less likely to make a good recovery from head injury. The study has important implications for those with the particular brain protein who choose to take part in potentially dangerous contact sports... view more... (2003-01-10)
Stroke and SIDS in Alaska topics of neuroscience conference
University of Alaska Fairbanks neuroscientists studying stroke and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome will present their research findings at the 7th Conference of the Specialized Neuroscience Research Programs in New York Aug. 19-22, 2008. view more (2008-08-20)
Prehypertension triples heart attack risk
People with prehypertension are at much higher risk of heart attack and heart disease, according to a study published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2005-08-05)
Pregnant smokers raise their child's risk of stroke, heart attack
Women who smoke during pregnancy can cause permanent vascular damage in their children — increasing their risk for stroke and heart attack. view more (2007-03-05)
Penn Research Team Tests Bedside Monitoring of Brain Blood Flow and Metabolism in Stroke Victims
A University of Pennsylvania team has completed the first successful demonstration of a noninvasive optical device to monitor cerebral blood flow in patients with acute stroke, a leading cause of disability and death. view more (2009-03-03)
Annual costs of stroke in U.S. children at least $42 million
Stroke in children costs at least $42 million annually in the United States, researchers report in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-07-10)
Enzyme may be a key to Alzheimer's-related cell death
A Purdue University researcher has discovered that the amount of an enzyme present in neurons can affect the mechanism thought to cause cell death in Alzheimer's disease patients and may have applications for other diseases such as stroke and heart attack. view more (2009-10-08)
New tool finds best heart disease and stroke treatments for patients with diabetes
Researchers from North Carolina State University and Mayo Clinic have developed a computer model that medical doctors can use to determine the best time to begin using statin therapy in diabetes patients to help prevent heart disease and stroke. view more (2009-06-30)
Smoking gun: just 1 cigarette has harmful effect on the arteries of young healthy adults
Even one cigarette has serious adverse effects on young adults, according to research presented by Dr. Stella Daskalopoulou at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress 2009, co-hosted by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. view more (2009-10-27)
Xenon Shows Promise in Protecting The Brain During Bypass Surgery
In studies using rats, researchers from Duke University Medical Center (USA) and Imperial College London, have found evidence that the chemically inert gas xenon can protect the brain from the neurological damage often associated with the use of the heart-lung machine during coronary artery bypass surgery. The researchers say that xenon appears to... view more... (2003-02-26)
'Fat' tax on food could prevent 3,000 heart attack and stroke deaths every year
Taxing certain foodstuffs in the UK could prevent up to 3200 deaths from heart attacks and stroke every year, suggests a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2007-07-12)
