Long-term anti-clotting therapy sweetens stenting outcomes in diabetic patients
A study showing that diabetic patients who are treated with long-term anti-clotting therapy are less likely to have a heart attack or die more than a year after stenting has been named among the best research papers presented at the 30th Annual Scientific Sessions of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI), May 9-12,... view more...

Computers as safe as medical experts for prescribing blood thinning drugs
The largest ever study into the administration of blood thinning drugs, principally Warfarin, has concluded that dosages calculated by computer are at least as safe and reliable as those provided by expert medical professionals. view more (2008-06-19)
Combined imaging approach may provide better identification of difficult-to-diagnose brain clots
University of Cincinnati (UC) neuroradiologists believe a brain imaging approach that combines standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with specialized contrast-enhanced techniques could lead to more effective diagnoses in patients with difficult-to-detect blood clots in veins of the brain. view more (2007-04-09)
Family history is a poor predictor of venous clotting
Family history of venous thromboembolism (blood clotting) is an unsatisfactory predictor for identifying common thrombophilic defects in women without thrombosis before taking oral contraceptives, finds a study in this week's BMJ. A total of 324 women (mean age 34 years) with no personal history of venous thromboembolism were screened for common... view more... (2001-04-24)
University of Ulster spearheads giant leap forward in medicine
Researchers at the University of Ulster have uncovered a vital weapon in the fight against killer conditions like cancer and heart disease - frog venom. The team, headed by Professor Chris Shaw, has discovered that molecules called peptides, secreted by rain forest frogs to ward off predators, have the potential to: * Dramatically... view more...

Pneumatosis cystoids intestinalis after fluorouracil chemotherapy
The mechanism of pneumatosis cystoids intestinalis (PCI) is unclear. The mechanical and bacterial factors are most predominant causes of PCI. view more (2008-09-18)
Experts debate role of stenting, bypass surgery in left main coronary artery disease
Coronary artery bypass surgery has been the preferred treatment for patients with a blockage in the left main coronary artery, the conduit that supplies blood to about two-thirds of the heart. view more (2007-05-14)
World Heart Day: Commission launches new research projects to combat cardiovascular disease
September 28 marked World Heart Day. The purpose was to raise awareness on risks and to promote opportunities for preventing heart disease. In the last four years, the European Commission has funded 24 projects in this field, with a contribution of EUR35.5 million. This will be a priority in the future as well, and the EU is about to launch two... view more... (2003-09-29)

Gene therapy technique thwarts cancer by cutting off tumor blood supply
University of Florida researchers have come up with a new gene therapy method to disrupt cancer growth by using a synthetic protein to induce blood clotting that cuts off a tumor's blood and nutrient supply. view more (2009-06-12)
Value of stent-coating drugs questioned
Patients admitted to the hospital with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are often treated with a catheter-based procedure known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), during which a stent is inserted into an occluded or narrowed coronary artery to restore blood flow to and from the heart. view more (2007-03-27)
Oestrogen-replacement Therapy From Skin Patches Not Associated With Venous Blood Clots (p 428)
French authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that oestrogen replacement therapy (ERT) given by skin patches or gel rather than orally may cause fewer venous blood clots (a recognised side-effect of ERT). Oral ERT activates blood coagulation and increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in postmenopausal women.... view more... (2003-08-06)
Researchers find that childhood sarcoma increases risk of blood clots
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, have determined that children and young adults with a form of cancer called sarcoma are at increased risk of having a thromboembolic event (TE) in their veins. view more (2007-04-19)
The Biochemist February 2002 issue; THEME: Pretty poisonous
Introduction - The darker end of the spectrum The 'pretty poisonous' entities that are the subject of this issue of The Biochemist have a much darker side - they might be subject to misuse by those with malevolent intent. Toxins and bioregulators have certainly been considered and developed as weapons by some. In the late 20th Century,... view more... (2002-02-11)
Contribution of cholesterol transporter to vascular disease
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a transporter of cholesterol, may also contribute to vascular diseases by a previously unidentified mechanism, according to a report published online this week in EMBO reports. view more (2007-10-26)
Wine Drinkers Live Longer than Beer Guzzlers
A recent article in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis determined that drinkers of wine benefit from its cardio-protective effects, more so than those who drink beer or other spirits, and may also live longer. The article is part of a series of papers published in an open forum on wine, alcohol and cardiovascular risk. The analysis,... view more... (2005-01-31)
Drinking heavily in college may lead to heart disease later in life
College-age students who drink heavily may increase their risk for future heart disease, researchers reported at the American Heart Association's 8th Annual Conference on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology. view more (2007-04-20)
New generation of cardiac interventions, therapies optimize heart disease care
Research presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 55th Annual Scientific Session and the inaugural Innovation in Intervention: i2 Summit 2006 in Atlanta, Ga., highlights critical advances in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-03-15)
Penn study suggests a new type of pain reliever that may benefit the heart
Building on previous work, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have found that deleting an inflammation enzyme in a mouse model of heart disease slowed the development of atherosclerosis. view more (2006-09-13)
Damaged veins heal faster with heparin treatment, laboratory study finds
A commonly used medication that prevents blood clots from forming may also prevent existing clots from damaging delicate vein walls - and may accelerate healing in a clot-damaged area of vein wall, according to new research from the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center. view more (2008-03-14)
