Severe CAD linked to non-alcohol-related end-stage liver disease Posted: 20 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Patients with alcohol-related end-stage liver disease are significantly less likely than those with non-alcohol-related ESLD to have severe coronary artery disease and so may not require angiography, argue US scientists.

QRS duration determines CRT success in non-LBBB patients Posted: 20 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Cardiac resynchronization therapy is more likely to be effective in patients with advanced heart failure and non-left bundle branch block morphologies if they have a longer QRS duration, US study findings suggest.

Support for using CT for coronary artery plaque detection Posted: 20 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Computed tomography should be considered the primary noninvasive test for detection and analysis of coronary artery plaques, say investigators.

HDL interferes with valvular calcification Posted: 20 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT High-density lipoprotein cholesterol may have an anti-calcifying effect in human aortic valves, say Finnish researchers.

Extreme morning sickness linked to mood disorders in offspring Posted: 20 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT Children born to women who experienced a severe form of morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum during pregnancy are at increased risk for mood disorders and anxiety in adulthood, US research suggests.

Depression common in FES patients Posted: 20 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT More than a quarter of patients with first episode schizophrenia spectrum disorders have depression at service entry, research shows.

Yoghurt consumption in pregnancy linked to asthma, allergy risk in children Posted: 20 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT The consumption of low-fat yoghurt during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for asthma and allergic rhinitis among children in early life, study results suggest.
