| Femoral IACs linked to increased thrombosis in children Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Indwelling arterial catheters placed in the femoral location in children, particularly in newborns, are associated with a higher rate of arterial thrombosis than catheters placed in other locations, Swiss researchers report. |
| Prior statin use neuroprotective in ICH Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Statin use prior to the time of an intracerebral hemorrhage doubles patients' chances of making a good recovery, say researchers. |
| Altered fat metabolism linked to osteoporosis in COPD patients Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Slovakian study suggest that altered fat metabolism may play a role in the development of osteoporosis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, say researchers. |
| Psoriasis makes hypertension harder to control Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study results show that hypertension is less easily controlled in patients who also have psoriasis compared with non-psoriatic hypertensive patients. |
| hsCRP, CAC testing improves coronary event prediction Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Measures of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and coronary artery calcification can identify patients at very high risk for coronary events, say researchers. |
| Fenofibric acid plus moderate-dose statin improves lipid, apolipoprotein profiles Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT The addition of fenofibric acid to moderate-dose statin therapy significantly improves lipid and apolipoprotein levels in patients with elevated triglycerides, say US researchers. |
| Prior statin use neuroprotective in ICH Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Statin use prior to the time of an intracerebral hemorrhage doubles patients' chances of making a good recovery, say researchers. |
| Women with early menarche have elevated risk for Type 2 diabetes Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Women who experience menarche at an early age have higher body mass index and body fat, and lower insulin sensitivity and β-cell function than women with later onset of menses, report US researchers. |
| Valsartan improves insulin sensitivity in patients at risk for Type 2 diabetes Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Treatment with the antihypertensive medication valsartan increases glucose-stimulated release of insulin and insulin sensitivity in normotensive individuals with impaired glucose metabolism, show study results. |
| Baroreflex activation therapy promising for resistant hypertension Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Baroreflex activation therapy may be a promising new approach in patients with resistant hypertension, the Rheos pivotal trial suggests. |
| Six months of post-stent dual antiplatelet therapy non-inferior to 12 months Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Giving dual antiplatelet therapy for 6 months following drug-eluting stent implantation is non-inferior to 12 months' therapy for the composite endpoint of target vessel failure at 12 months, the EXCELLENT trial indicates. |
| hsCRP, CAC testing improves coronary event prediction Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Measures of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and coronary artery calcification can identify patients at very high risk for coronary events, say researchers. |
| Many common cancers linked to alcohol Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT A considerable proportion of the most common and lethal cancers can be attributed to alcohol consumption by men and women living in eight European countries, says an international research team in the BMJ. |
| Teenagers can conveniently boost CV health with high intensity exercise Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Study results suggest that brief high-intensity exercise is a time-effective alternative to traditional endurance training for improving cardiovascular disease risk factors in adolescents. |
| Data on working hours improves predictive accuracy of CV risk tool Posted: 07 Apr 2011 05:00 PM PDT Incorporating number of working hours into the Framingham risk score model improves its ability to predict future coronary heart disease among healthy employed individuals, according to data from the Whitehall II study. |
| Middle-aged Americans less healthy than English Posted: 02 May 2006 05:00 PM PDT The health of middle-aged people in England is much better than that of their counterparts in the USA, say investigators, who remain uncertain as to why this is the case. |
