Cilostazol improves clopidogrel platelet inhibitory effect in CKD patients Posted: 06 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Adding cilostazol to antiplatelet therapy improves platelet inhibition in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis, research shows.

Pre and postprocedure hydration lowers contrast-induced kidney injury risk Posted: 06 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Patients undergoing primary angioplasty who are treated with sodium bicarbonate before and after the procedure have a lower risk for developing contrast-induced acute kidney injury, research shows.

Miglitol more effective than voglibose at improving incretin level in diabetes Posted: 06 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Miglitol is more effective than voglibose at modifying the postprandial response of plasma incretins in Japanese Type 2 diabetes patients, say researchers.

Eating more fish may reduce young women’s CVD risk Posted: 06 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Young women could significantly reduce their risk for developing cardiovascular disease by consuming more fish, suggest study findings.

Individual characteristics explain little of the gender difference in poor lipid control Posted: 06 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST There are significant gender differences in poor lipid control among individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease, say US researchers.

Treatment delays linked to suicide attempt prevalence in BD patients Posted: 06 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Delays of at least 5 years in the initiation of mood-stabilizing therapy are associated with an increased lifetime prevalence of suicide attempts in patients with bipolar disorder, research shows.

Facial emotion recognition deficits ‘a stable trait in schizophrenia’ Posted: 06 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Patients with first-episode schizophrenia and those with chronic schizophrenia show similar deficits in facial emotion recognition, suggesting that such deficits represent a stable trait of the illness, say Chinese researchers.

Cilostazol improves clopidogrel platelet inhibitory effect in CKD patients Posted: 06 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Adding cilostazol to antiplatelet therapy improves platelet inhibition in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis, research shows.

CMR-assessed LVEF and myocardial necrosis predict mortality Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Impaired left ventricular ejection fraction and myocardial tissue damage assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are significant predictors of early mortality, research shows.

Heart rate variability predicts obstructive coronary disease Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Low heart rate variability is a strong predictor of obstructive coronary artery disease, research suggests.

Liraglutide improves adiposity, eating behavior in obese diabetes patients Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Liraglutide significantly reduces appetite and visceral fat adiposity in obese patients who have Type 2 diabetes, say researchers.

Combined lifestyle behaviors markedly increase mortality risk in diabetes Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST A combination of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors increase risk for mortality in Chinese patients with diabetes, say researchers.

Improving fitness may be better than weight loss for reducing death risk Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Maintaining or improving cardiorespiratory fitness is at least as important as weight loss for reducing premature mortality risk, say US researchers.

FLIM useful for characterization of atherosclerotic plaques Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST US researchers have developed a noninvasive cardiovascular imaging technique – fluorescence lifetime imaging – for the biochemical characterization of human coronary atherosclerotic plaques.

Predictors of recanalization failure with iv thrombolysis highlighted Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Clinical factors that predict whether patients will recanalize when given intravenous tissue plasminogen activator vary with the site of occlusion, a study shows.

Clopidogrel more effective in <i>CYP2C19*17</i> carriers Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:00 PM PST Individuals with coronary artery disease who carry the CYP2C19*17 allele variant respond better to clopidogrel's cardioprotective effects than those who do not carry the variant, Chinese researchers report.
