Spinning Sessions Trigger The Same Biochemical Indications As Heart Attacks A short spinning session can trigger the same biochemical indications as a heart attack - a reaction that is probably both natural and harmless, but should be borne in mind when people seek emergency treatment for chest pain, reveals a study from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden... |
Vessel-Forming Stem Cells Derived From Amniotic Fluid To Help Fix Infant Hearts Researchers at Rice University and Texas Children's Hospital have turned stem cells from amniotic fluid into cells that form blood vessels. Their success offers hope that such stem cells may be used to grow tissue patches to repair infant hearts... |
For Atrial Fibrillation Patients At Risk For Stroke, Easy-To-Use Blood Thinners Likely To Replace Coumadin Within a few years, a new generation of easy-to-use blood-thinning drugs will likely replace Coumadin for patients with irregular heartbeats who are at risk for stroke, according to a journal article by Loyola University Medical Center physicians. Unlike Coumadin, the new drugs do not require patients to come in to the clinic on a regular basis to check the dose... |

Rare Mutations May Help Explain Aneurysm In High-Risk Families An innovative approach to genome screening has provided clues about rare mutations that may make people susceptible to brain aneurysms, predisposing them to brain bleeds, according to preliminary late-breaking research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2012... |
Clopidogrel With Aspirin Doesn't Prevent More Small Strokes, May Increase Risk Of Bleeding, Death The anti-blood clot regimen that adds the drug clopidogrel (Plavix) to aspirin treatment is unlikely to prevent recurrent strokes and may increase the risk of bleeding and death in patients with subcortical stroke according to late-breaking research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2012... |
For Atrial Fibrillation Patients, Rivaroxaban Has Less Risk Of Brain Bleeding In Patients At High Risk For Stroke For patients with a type of irregular heart beat called atrial fibrillation (AF), a new anti-clotting drug might be better at preventing clot-related strokes while minimizing the risk of causing a bleeding stroke. The research was presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2012... |
Elevated Glucose Associated With Undetected Heart Damage A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggests that hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) injures the heart, even in patients without a history of heart disease or diabetes... |
Among Moderate Drinkers, The Effect Of Occasional Binge Drinking On Heart Disease And Mortality Most studies have found that binge drinking is associated with a loss of alcohol's protective effect against ischemic heart disease (IHD) and most studies have found an increase of coronary risk among binge drinkers... |
