Low socioeconomic status heightens risk for sudden cardiac arrest Posted: 13 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Individuals of low socioeconomic status are at increased risk for sudden cardiac arrest, research suggests.

Clinical characteristics may identify HF patients at risk of poor quality of life Posted: 13 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have identified the clinical characteristics associated with heart failure patients who are at high risk for a persistently unfavorable quality of life.

Diabetes status attenuates the relationship between Lp(a) and CV risk Posted: 13 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Lipoprotein may not be a relevant marker for assessing cardiovascular disease risk among diabetic patients, say researchers, who add that their data therefore do not support Lp-lowering therapy for reducing CV risk among these patients.

Soy protein may reduce atherosclerotic progression in women close to menopause Posted: 13 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Isoflavone soy protein supplementation reduces subclinical atherosclerosis progression in women close to menopause, study findings suggest.

Soy protein may reduce atherosclerotic progression in women close to menopause Posted: 13 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Isoflavone soy protein supplementation reduces subclinical atherosclerosis progression in women close to menopause, study findings suggest.

BDEs linked to worse outcomes in mood disorder patients Posted: 13 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder who experience brief or very brief depressive episodes have poorer outcomes than those who do not experience such episodes, study findings suggest.

Serum cortisol, DHEA-S levels elevated in schizophrenia patients Posted: 13 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Schizophrenia patients exhibit significantly higher serum cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels than their first-degree relatives and mentally healthy individuals, research shows.

New harmonized guidelines facilitate primary care of CVD Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Canadian researchers have created a new set of harmonized guidelines that they believe will facilitate the primary care and management of cardiovascular disease.

Implantable device infection linked to increased mortality, healthcare costs Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with infection associated with cardiovascular implantable electronic device therapy are at a significantly higher risk for mortality, a longer hospital stay, and higher healthcare costs than patients with devices uncomplicated by infection, a US study suggests.

Early diabetes diagnosis fails to prevent diabetic complications in Hungary Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT The prevention opportunities afforded by the early diagnosis of diabetes have not been realized in the Hungarian population, say researchers.

Collaborative care improves cholesterol management in diabetic patients Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A team-based care approach is effective for cholesterol management in patients with diabetes mellitus, say US researchers.

Short-term atorvastatin treatment improves carotid artery elasticity Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Short-term treatment with high-dose atorvastatin significantly improves carotid artery wall elasticity, as demonstrated by reduced stiffness and increased dispensability, study findings show.

Collaborative care improves cholesterol management in diabetic patients Posted: 12 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT A team-based care approach is effective for cholesterol management in patients with diabetes mellitus, say US researchers.
