Methamphetamine use increases risks of artery tears and stroke
Methamphetamine use may be associated with increased risks of major neck artery tears and stroke, according to an article published in the December 26, 2006, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2006-12-26)
'Stent-Graft' procedure improves outcomes of carotid aneurysm repair
For patients with life-threatening aneurysms of the carotid artery in the neck, a minimally invasive stent-grafting technique can be just as effective as traditional open surgery, but with faster recovery and fewer complications, according to a study in the March Journal of Vascular Surgery. view more (2006-03-08)
Study shows relationship between oral and cardiovascular health
New research is reinforcing the longstanding belief that a connection exists between periodontal disease, or severe gum inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-02-23)
A new guideline for screening apparently healthy individuals to prevent a heart attack
To accelerate the adoption and standardization of heart attack screening methods, the July 10th edition of the American view more (2006-07-10)
Carbon nanoparticles stimulate blood clotting, researchers report
Carbon nanoparticles - both those unleashed in the air by engine exhaust and the engineered structures thought to have great potential in medical applications - promote blood-clotting. view more (2005-10-24)
Updated guideline: Carotid endarterectomy beneficial for stroke prevention in some patients
Carotid endarterectomy is the most frequently performed operation to prevent stroke. There is scientific evidence to support its use to prevent future stroke. view more (2005-09-27)
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)
Daytime sleepiness provides red flag for cardiovascular disease
Clinicians should be alert to patients reporting "excessive" day time sleepiness (EDS), says the European Society of Cardiology, after a French study found healthy elderly people who regularly report feeling sleepy during the day have a significantly higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-02-27)
Effect of diabetes on heart may differ by ethnicity, study finds
Diabetes strongly increases the risk of heart failure in all ethnic groups, but early effects of diabetes on the heart may differ depending on whether the subjects are white, African-American, Hispanic or Chinese. view more (2006-03-09)
Serotonin may play role in hardening of the arteries
A less active brain serotonin system is associated with early hardening of the arteries, according to a study presented today by University of Pittsburgh researchers at the 64th Annual Scientific Conference of the American Psychosomatic Society in Denver. view more (2006-03-06)
Bare metal stents deliver gene therapy to heart vessels with less inflammation in animal studies
Improved materials may allow stents, tiny metal scaffolds inserted into blood vessels, to better deliver beneficial genes to patients with heart disease, by reducing the risk of inflammation that often negates initial benefits. view more (2005-12-20)
Diabetes drug may reduce cardiovascular risks
A drug commonly used to increase the body's sensitivity to insulin may slow the progression of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. view more (2006-11-14)
Genes and diet linked to risk factors for heart disease
Researchers from the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center (USDA HNRCA) at Tufts University and colleagues have found another link among genes, heart disease and diet. view more (2006-10-09)
Risk of death increases with combined heart and stroke prevention surgery
Patients who undergo combined heart bypass surgery and carotid endarterectomy, the most commonly used stroke prevention surgery, significantly increase their chances of death or stroke. view more (2007-01-16)
Hospital volume doesn't explain racial disparity in cardiovascular procedure deaths
Although hospitals that perform fewer cardiovascular procedures tend to have higher death rates than higher-volume hospitals, and although African-American and Hispanic patients tend to be treated at lower-volume hospitals, differences in volume do not explain racial disparities in cardiovascular procedure death rates. view more (2006-01-16)
Training on virtual 'patient' improves carotid angiography skills
Cardiologists can learn to perform risky catheter procedures such as carotid angiography on a virtual patient simulator, rather than on real patients, according to a new study in the May 2, 2006, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. view more (2006-04-28)
Carotid stenting the new anti-depressant?
Inserting a stent to open a narrowed carotid artery has been found to reduce symptoms of depression that may be associated with carotid stenosis, according to a study in the August issue of Radiology. view more (2006-07-25)
Rare eye-movement disorder may shed light on brain and cardiovascular development
Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston, who specialize in studying the genetics of rare eye-movement disorders, have found a rare genetic syndrome whose implications go far beyond the eye, raising intriguing questions about human cardiovascular and brain development. view more (2005-09-12)
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)
Ultrasound makes central venous catheterisation safer, quicker and easier
Ultrasound-guided central venous catheterisation is easier, quicker and safer than the traditional method using landmarks, and should be the method of choice when treating critical care patients. view more (2006-11-17)
