Researchers advance understanding of abnormal mineral accumulation in arteries

A team of researchers from McGill University has advanced the scientific understanding of abnormal mineral accumulation in arteries, a complication often seen in patients with chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Mineralized arteries may affect heart functions, leading to death in some instances.

Researchers use biomimetic engineering approach to develop vascular grafts

When a patient with heart disease is in need of a vascular graft but doesn't have any viable veins or arteries in his or her own body, surgeons can rely on synthetic, tissue-engineering grafts.

Researchers identify new anti-inflammatory drug target

A new study suggests that parmodulins may provide anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic protection to endothelial cells, without interfering with clotting.

Stress may have greater effect on cardiovascular health in women than in men

New research published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology Indicates that mental stress has a greater effect on peripheral vessels in women than in men. The additional constriction of blood vessels seen in women may increase their risk of heart-related events and death.

FDA approves drug to increase blood pressure in adults with septic or distributive shock

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Giapreza (angiotensin II) injection for intravenous infusion to increase blood pressure in adults with septic or other distributive shock.

Constriction of blood vessels during mental stress more likely to affect women

In women with heart disease, constriction of peripheral vessels during mental stress affects the heart circulation more than men's, potentially raising women's risk of heart-related events and death, according to new research in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, an American Heart Association journal.

Outpatient total knee replacement surgery linked to higher rates of complications

Some complications are more common when total knee replacement surgery is done as an outpatient or same-day procedure, reports a study in the December 6, 2017 issue of The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery. The journal is published in partnership with Wolters Kluwer.

Groundbreaking gene therapy trial brings cure for hemophilia closer

A 'cure' for hemophilia is one step closer, following results of a groundbreaking gene therapy trial led by the NHS in London.

New, more easily administered therapies offer benefits for bleeding and clotting disorders

In three studies being presented today during the 59th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition in Atlanta, researchers report remarkable benefits from new, more easily administered therapies for bleeding and clotting disorders.

Powerful clot-busting drugs reserved for selected patients with deep vein thrombosis

Not all patients with blood clots in their legs – a condition known as deep vein thrombosis – need to receive powerful but risky clot-busting drugs, according to results of a large-scale, multicenter clinical trial.

New strategy offers therapeutic alternative to prevent excessive clotting in kidney disease patients

Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine have discovered a potential treatment target to prevent chronic kidney disease patients from developing blood clots without causing bleeding complications - an unwanted and perplexing side effect.

Deep vein thrombosis accurately diagnosed by GPs trained in compression ultrasonography

General practitioners trained in compression ultrasonography have excellent accuracy and agreement in diagnosing symptomatic proximal deep vein thrombosis.

Analysis finds simple method to identify patients most likely to benefit from long-term canakinumab treatment

A new analysis seeks to answer the question of which patients are likely to gain the greatest cardiovascular benefit when treated with the anti-inflammatory agent canakinumab.

UCR researchers elucidate how blood clots shrink

Blood clotting is the "Jekyll and Hyde" of biological processes. It's a lifesaver when you're bleeding, but gone awry, it causes heart attacks, strokes and other serious medical problems.

Video provides new look at natural process of platelet-driven blood clot contraction

The first view of the physical mechanism of how a blood clot contracts at the level of individual platelets is giving researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania a new look at a natural process that is part of blood clotting.

SENIOR trial: Shorter DAPT combined with Synergy stent superior to BMS in elderly patients

Elderly patients undergoing PCI often receive bare-metal stents (BMS) instead of drug-eluting stents (DES) to shorten the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and reduce bleeding risk. However, results from the SENIOR trial found that compared with BMS, shorter DAPT combined with the Synergy bioabsorbable polymer DES leads to less adverse events without increasing bleeding risk.

Conference to focus on preventing and reversing consequences of sickle cell disease

Leading experts in the field of sickle cell disease (SCD) research will convene in Washington, D.C., for the Physiological and Pathophysiological Consequences of Sickle Cell Disease conference (November 6–8). The conference, organized by the American Physiological Society, will explore SCD- the world's most prevalent single-gene mutation disease-; and new research on preventing and reversing its deadly consequences.
