Testosterone levels linked to mortality in postmenopausal diabetic women Posted: 09 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Low free testosterone levels appear to be associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in postmenopausal diabetic women referred for coronary angiography, researchers report.

Mobile phone technology helps diabetics manage blood glucose levels Posted: 09 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT A coaching intervention program in which diabetes patients use interactive software accessible on their mobile phones appears to be successful in helping them manage their glycated hemoglobin levels, US researchers report.

Treating culprit lesions in multivessel disease remains preferred PCI approach Posted: 09 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Treating only culprit lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention should remain the standard of care for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients with multivessel coronary disease, two studies show.

Older patients with severe heart failure have impaired verbal memory Posted: 09 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Older patients with severe heart failure are more likely to have an impaired verbal memory than younger ones, say researchers.

Masked hypertension common in patients with hypertensive response to exercise Posted: 07 Aug 2011 05:00 PM PDT Masked hypertension is highly prevalent in patients with a hypertensive response to exercise and normal resting office blood pressure, a study suggests.
