Caffeine limits blood flow to heart muscle during exercise
In healthy volunteers, the equivalent of two cups of coffee reduced the body's ability to boost blood flow to the heart muscle in response to exercise, and the effect was stronger when the participants were in a chamber simulating high altitude. view more (2006-01-16)
Study shows new imaging tracer clarifies cause of chest pain up to 30 hours after pain stops
A national team of researchers, led by a cardiovascular nuclear medicine specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center, has demonstrated for the first time that an experimental radioactive compound can show images of heart damage up to 30 hours after a brief interruption of blood flow and oxygen. view more (2005-09-27)

Antibiotics do not prevent recurrent myocardial infarcts in subjects with periodontitis
Periodontitis, an infection of the gingiva and tooth-supporting tissues, may influence the effectiveness of antibiotics used for the prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events. view more (2006-01-05)
Administering stem cells to patients with myocardial infarction leads to a reduction of the infarct
This week, doctors at the Catholic University of Leuven, connected with the University Hospital-Gasthuisberg, the Stem Cell Institute Leuven (SCIL), and the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), are publishing a major breakthrough in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction. view more (2006-01-10)
Dark chocolate: Half a bar per week to keep at bay the risk of heart attack
Maybe gourmands are not jumping for joy. Probably they would have preferred bigger amounts to sup-port their passion. Though the news is still good for them: 6.7 grams of chocolate per day represent the ideal amount for a protective effect against inflammation and subsequent cardiovascular disease. view more (2008-09-24)
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)
Dutch study finds four in 10 heart attacks go unrecognised
Dutch researchers who assessed over 4,000 men and women over 55 to see how many heart attacks went undiagnosed at the time they occurred, found that the figure was more than four in 10. view more (2006-02-14)
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...

Healthy men who drink moderately have reduced risk of heart attack
For men with healthy lifestyle habits, drinking moderate amounts of alcohol may be associated with a lower risk of heart attack than drinking heavily or not drinking at all. view more (2006-10-24)
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)
Heart injury due to carbon monoxide poisoning increases long-term risk of death
Of patients who were hospitalized and treated for moderate to severe carbon monoxide poisoning, those who sustained heart muscle injury due to their exposure had an increased risk of death during a mid-point follow-up period of 7.6 years compared to those without injury to the heart. view more (2006-01-25)
New studies on cancer and schizophrenia, depression and heart disease, trauma and autism
The 2007 American College of Neuropsychopharmacology Annual Meeting will feature hundreds of new studies on brain and behavior from the world's leading scientists. Presentations include innovative research on potential new treatments for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, autism and addiction. view more (2007-12-11)
Obesity strongly linked to pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis
Since 1927, obesity has been thought to be a risk factor for fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Because of the high proportion of obesity in the general population, previous studies have not determined whether obesity is an independent risk factor for PE or deep venous thrombosis (DVT). view more (2005-09-09)
Scientists discover two genes linked to early heart attack risk
One of the genes, known as VAMP8, normally expresses a protein essential for early stages of clotting. When clotting occurs in a coronary blood vessel, it can lead to heart attack. view more (2006-05-12)
Shortness of breath without chest pain can signify the presence of high risk heart disease
While most people know that chest pain can signify the presence of heart disease, it is less well known that shortness of breath can also be a serious cardiac symptom. view more (2005-11-03)
