Vitamin therapy may reduce AF, arrhythmia after cardiac surgery Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Prophylactic use of antioxidant vitamins C and E may significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation and all-cause arrhythmia following cardiac surgery, UK researchers say.

Educating children reduces their parents’ risk for CVD Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Adults' risk for cardiovascular disease is reduced if their school-age children undergo an educational program in cardiovascular disease prevention, Brazilian researchers suggest.

Non-agonist PPARγ ligand has potent antidiabetic effects Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A novel synthetic compound, SR1664, has potent antidiabetic activity without causing fluid retention, weight gain or reduced bone mineral density, research shows.

Elevated transferrin saturation may be diabetes risk factor Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Transferrin saturation of 50% or more is associated with a two- to three-fold increased risk for developing any form of diabetes, research shows.

Cardiometabolic profile of ‘fit-and-fat’ men differs from unfit obese men Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Significant cardiometabolic differences exist between "fat-and-fit" men and those who are fat but not aerobically fit, research shows.

SNPs in <i>APOA5</i> are associated with better treatment response to combination therapy Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with common single nucleotide polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein A5 gene may respond better to combination therapy with statins and fenofibric acid than patients without these genetic variants, study findings suggest.

Illness chronicity linked to early treatment response in schizophrenia Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Early response to treatment is significantly associated with less illness chronicity in schizophrenia patients, independently of antipsychotic type and dosage, researchers report.

Suicidality linked to increased impulsivity in bipolar disorder Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A history of suicide attempts is associated with increased cognitive impulsivity in patients with bipolar disorder, research shows.

Two-thirds of hospital stroke deaths unavoidable Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT About two-thirds of deaths among patients hospitalized with stroke are attributable to nonmodifiable risk factors, say German researchers.

Catheter-directed mechanical thrombectomy feasible for severe PE Posted: 05 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Catheter-directed mechanical thrombectomy is an effective tool for primary treatment of massive pulmonary embolism and submassive pulmonary embolism, US researchers report.
