Novel research studies move closer to predicting two important heart conditions

Two novel research studies from Cedars-Sinai move the needle on predicting two important heart conditions - sudden cardiac arrest, which is often fatal, and increased coronary artery calcium, a marker of coronary artery disease that can lead to a heart attack.

Cerebrospinal fluid leak may be a treatable cause of behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia

A new Cedars-Sinai study suggests that some patients diagnosed with behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) - an incurable condition that robs patients of the ability to control their behavior and cope with daily living - may instead have a cerebrospinal fluid leak, which is often treatable.
