| Everolimus equivalent to sirolimus stent Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients given an everolimus-eluting stent do as well as those given a sirolimus-eluting stent during the first year after treatment, shows a large randomized trial. |
| PCI brings higher risk for MACCE than CABG in triple-vessel CAD Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT A large Japanese registry study has confirmed the findings of the SYNTAX trial, showing that percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with a significantly increased risk for serious adverse events compared with coronary artery bypass graft surgery in patients with triple-vessel coronary artery disease. |
| Home-based walking intervention benefits people with diabetes and PAD Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT A 6-month home-based walking program improves walking speed and quality of life in patients with diabetes and peripheral artery disease, research shows. |
| Early-onset Type 2 diabetes linked to premature retinopathy Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT People with early-onset Type 2 diabetes are at high risk for developing retinopathy prematurely, report UK researchers. |
| Adolescent and parental lifestyles influence teen CV risk Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT The lifestyles of adolescents, and those of their parents, have an impact on their risk for cardiovascular disease, results from a Japanese study show. |
| Maximal statin dose more effective than titrated approach at lowering cholesterol Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Maximal dose statin therapy is associated with higher efficacy and greater prevention of pathologic changes in graft coronary arteries after heart transplantation than titrated dosing, a study suggests. |
| MRI may predict rectal cancer outcomes Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Magnetic resonance imaging used to evaluate responses to pre-surgery neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiation may predict survival among patients with advanced rectal cancer, study findings indicate. |
| Sleep-wake disturbances increased in schizophrenia patients with mostly positive symptoms Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Results from a Portuguese study suggest that schizophrenia patients with predominantly positive symptoms have more disturbed sleep–wake cycles than those with predominantly negative symptoms. |
| Striatal and CMS activation, connectivity linked to depression in BD II Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Striatal and cortical midline structure activation and connectivity abnormalities are associated with depression in patients with bipolar II disorder, US research suggests. |
| Dabigatran plus antiplatelet therapy ‘safe, effective versus warfarin’ Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT A subgroup analysis of the RE-LY trial shows that the oral anticoagulant dabigatran etexilate provides better protection against stroke than does well-controlled warfarin, at a relatively low risk for bleeding, whether used alone or concomitantly with antiplatelet therapy. |
| Prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy unnecessary after stenting Posted: 31 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Prolonged antiplatelet therapy is unnecessary for preventing adverse cardiovascular events after stenting and may be harmful, suggest results from the PRODIGY trial. |
| Daily remote ICD monitoring improves effectiveness Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Findings of two randomized trials support the use of remote monitoring of patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators. |
| Evidence grows for chocolate heart health effects Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Eating chocolate may have beneficial effects on people's risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke, show the results of a meta-analysis. |
| Diabetic women have greater excess CV risk then diabetic men Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Diabetic women have a greater relative excess of many cardiovascular disease risk factors than do diabetic men, a UK study shows. |
| Diabetes and prediabetes linked to cardiac alterations in young people Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Diabetes is associated with early signs of structural and functional left ventricular alterations in adolescents and young adults, report US researchers. |
| Increased epicardial fat may be linked to greater risk for ACS Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Increased epicardial fat volume may be a risk factor for acute coronary syndrome, a study suggests. |
| Erectile dysfunction associated with risk for the metabolic syndrome Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with erectile dysfunction may be at increased cardiometabolic risk, say Italian researchers. |
