New method for determining the need for coronary stents, bypass surgery more effective than angiogram

A new method for determining whether patients with heart disease need coronary stents or bypass surgery is more effective than the angiogram, which is currently used, according to research from UTHealth Houston Heart & Vascular.

Research findings may offer a new potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease

A new study links a gene concentrated in the brain's cleanup cells, known as microglia, to the inflammation that has increasingly emerged as a key mechanism contributing to Alzheimer's disease.

Plant-based foods vs. animal-based foods

An editorial published in The American Journal of Cardiology describes how wrong food choices can impact health at individual and population levels. Also discussed in the editorial are the ethical implications of eating animal-based foods and measures to promote healthier diets.

Lower frequency of dietary salt associated with reduced risk of heart disease

Adding additional salt to foods at a lower frequency is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, heart failure and ischemic heart disease, according to a new study published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Vitamin D appears to have no substantial impact on statin-related muscle pain

Patients who take statins to lower high cholesterol levels often complain of muscle pains, which can lead them to stop taking the highly effective medication and put them at greater risk of heart attack or stroke.

Previously unknown links between genetic factors in ASD identified

In a new study published today in Cell Reports, researchers from the Donald K. Johnson Eye Institute (DKJEI), part of the Krembil Research Institute at University Health Network, have identified previously unknown connections between genetic factors in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Low-dose CT screening improves survival rate of lung cancer patients

Diagnosing early-stage lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening drastically improves the survival rate of cancer patients over a 20-year period, according to a large-scale international study being presented by Mount Sinai researchers at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

Stereotactic MRI-guided adaptive radiation therapy shows promise for treating pancreatic cancer

Findings from a recent prospective study show promising safety and patient outcomes data for locally advanced and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer treatment using ablative Stereotactic MRI-Guided On-table Adaptive Radiation Therapy, also known as SMART.

Study challenges "good" cholesterol's predictive role for heart disease

A National Institutes of Health-supported study found that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often called the "good cholesterol," may not be as effective as scientists once believed in uniformly predicting cardiovascular disease risk among adults of different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Key Alzheimer’s gene alters the way cholesterol moves around the brain, research finds

A gene recognized as the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) alters the way cholesterol moves around the brain and as we age, this altered movement likely contributes to loss of learning and memory, a team of researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reports.

Researchers identify 35 genes that are highly expressed in patients with long-term Lyme disease

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York have identified 35 genes that are particularly highly expressed in people with long-term Lyme disease.

Study shows link between morning physical activity and lowest risk of heart disease, stroke

Morning physical activity is associated with the lowest risk of heart disease and stroke, according to a study in more than 85,000 individuals published today in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the ESC.

14 Nov 2022

The comparative risk of myocarditis, pericarditis, and myopericarditis between BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 second doses

Researchers assessed the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis after the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine second doses.

Screening for atrial fibrillation increases the chance of preventing stroke and also saves money

Atrial fibrillation is the greatest risk factor for stroke. Screening to detect atrial fibrillation in older people would not only increase the chance of preventing stroke, it would also save money for the healthcare system and society.

New program leverages digital solutions to improve patients' blood pressure and cholesterol levels

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and around the world. Lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol could help to reduce morbidity and mortality, but frequent in-person visits to measure and manage these readouts can be a burden for patients.

Study helps understand the basis of sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection

Significant immunological differences between young men and women were shown to mediate sex differences in the responses to the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a collaborative study of nearly 3,000 young, healthy members of the U.S. Marine Corps.

8 Nov 2022

Early use of ECMO devices to support adults with cardiogenic shock did not improve clinical outcomes

The immediate use of veno-arterial mechanical circulatory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) devices to support adults with rapidly deteriorating or severe cardiogenic shock was feasible but did not improve clinical outcomes compared to people who received early conservative therapy, according to late-breaking clinical trial results presented today at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2022.

7 Nov 2022

Dietary supplements taken for 'heart health' unlikely to offer meaningful impact on cholesterol levels

Six widely used dietary supplements promoted for improving heart health did not effectively lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol in comparison to a common low-dose statin medication or placebo, according to late breaking science results presented today at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2022.

7 Nov 2022

Researchers compare the risk of myocarditis between Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines

Incidence of myocarditis, pericarditis or myopericarditis is two- to threefold higher after a second dose of the Moderna Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine when compared to the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine; however, overall cases of heart inflammation with either vaccine are very rare, according to a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

7 Nov 2022

Personalized 'precision' testing approach leads to efficient chest pain evaluations for heart disease risk

For people with stable chest pain, a personalized "precision" testing approach led to more efficient evaluations for heart disease risk and improved diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease when compared to usual care, according to late-breaking science presented today at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2022.
