Climate change poses a huge threat to human health
Climate change will have a huge impact on human health and bold environmental policy decisions are needed now to protect the world's population, according to the author of an article published in the BMJ today. view more (2008-01-25)
Gene therapy reverses genetic mutation responsible for heart failure in muscular dystrophy
University of Pittsburgh investigators have for the first time used gene therapy to successfully treat heart failure and other degenerative muscle problems in an animal model that is genetically susceptible to a human muscular dystrophy. view more (2005-10-26)
Enzyme discovery sheds light on vitamin D
Surprising findings by Queen's researchers have shed new light on how the "sunshine vitamin" D - increasingly used to treat and prevent cancer and other diseases - is broken down by our bodies. view more (2007-07-25)
A new approach to growing heart muscle
It looks, contracts and responds almost like natural heart muscle - even though it was grown in the lab. And it brings scientists another step closer to the goal of creating replacement parts for damaged human hearts, or eventually growing an entirely new heart from just a spoonful of loose heart cells. view more (2006-12-08)
Cancer cell communication exposed
The discovery, by scientists at Monash University and the Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, of how communication between cancer cells is controlled has promised new treatment options for malignant tumours. view more (2005-10-31)
Potential heart benefit found in stem cells
Stem cell transplantation is among one of the most exciting and hotly debated areas of medical research today. view more (2006-03-14)
MDCT angiography for cardiac imaging: Reliable tool, less invasive, fewer complications
A new procedure for the imaging of coronary veins proves to be "less invasive, have less complications, and improves the quality of diagnosis and treatment " for individuals undergoing surgical procedures on the heart and particularly the coronary veins, a recent study found. view more (2005-12-30)
Engineered heart tissue offers insights into irregular heartbeats, defibrillator failure
Engineers who have induced heart cells in culture to mimic the properties of the heart have used the tissue to gain new insight into the mechanisms that spawn irregular heart rhythms. view more (2006-02-06)
New 'molecular switch' protein protects the heart from major cardiovascular damage
It's just one little amino acid, but it makes all the difference in protecting the heart from the harmful effects of heart attack and cardiac failure. Researchers from the University of Michigan Medical School suggest this amino acid, called histidine, could be the key to a new therapy for cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-01-23)
Alcoholism Is A Major, Neglected Problem In Patients With Heart Disease.
Some epidemiological studies suggest that moderate alcohol consumption decreases the risk of coronary heart disease. However, long-term excessive alcohol drinking is considered to be a major cause for worsening of heart disease. A group of Greek investigators, headed by George Christodoulou, Professor and Chairman of Psychiatry at the University... view more... (2000-12-28)
Study establishes link between air pollution, ischemic strokes
The risk of ischemic stroke - which results when a blood clot travels to the brain - increases with a rise in particulate air pollution. view more (2005-10-31)
Herceptin treatment lowers recurrence rate in early breast cancer
The targeted drug trastuzumab, or Herceptin, previously shown to prolong survival in advanced breast cancer, dramatically reduced the chances of recurrence in patients with early-stage disease when given for one year following standard chemotherapy. view more (2005-10-20)
Aspirin might prevent Vioxx cardiac damage
Low-dose aspirin might prevent the cardiovascular damage known to arise from use of the painkiller rofecoxib (Vioxx®), suggest new findings from mouse studies by Duke University Medical Center researchers. view more (2005-09-14)
Don't move a muscle: Evolutionary insight into myogenesis
In a paper released online ahead of its scheduled December 15th publication date, Dr. Michael Krause (NIH) and colleagues detail the transcription network that drives muscle development in the roundworm C. elegans, and make a strong argument for an evolutionarily conserved program of myogenesis in all animals. view more (2006-12-07)
Unique vascular dysfunction in women's heart disease described in major journal supplement
Although ischemic heart disease - the reduction of blood flow that can lead to heart attacks - is often considered a "man's disease," it takes the lives of more women than men each year. In fact, in 2000, about 60,000 more women than men died from cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-02-06)
Writing letters can save lives
‘Twenty-seven per cent more patients turn up for treatment when psychologists write their appointment letters,’ reported Sarah Wyer of Gloucestershire Royal Hospital today, Wednesday 5 September, at the joint British Psychological Society’s Division of Health Psychology and European Health Psychology Society conference, held at... view more...

Key to zebrafish heart regeneration uncovered
When a portion of a zebrafish's heart is removed, the dynamic interplay between a mass of stem cells that forms in the wound and the protective cell layer that covers the wound spurs the regeneration of functional new heart tissue. view more (2006-11-03)
Lighting up the heart
A major breakthrough in research could lead to improved recovery of the heart when it is re-started after a heart attack or cardiac surgery. view more (2006-09-22)
Guideline helps predict outcome in comatose survivors after CPR
Certain tests can predict with great accuracy whether a person in a coma after CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) will have a poor outcome. view more (2006-07-25)
Gladstone researchers hone in on differentiation of heart stem cells
A team of scientists from the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) has identified a key factor in heart development that could help advance gene therapy for treating cardiac disorders. view more (2005-12-16)
