Endothelial deletion of the Wt1 gene affects coronary vessel formation and myocardial development

How is the mammals' heart formed? What role do endothelial cells play? Do the same pathways and genes involved in the formation of the embryonic heart also play a role in repair processes?

Evidence supports Mediterranean and low-fat diets for reducing mortality and heart attack risks in high-risk patients

A new research paper performed a cross-analysis of a spectrum of dietary programs, from those requiring little intervention to detailed, multifaceted programs, examining the mortality and major cardiovascular events over a follow-up period.

Mediterranean and low-fat diets reduce the odds of mortality, heart attack in people at increased cardiovascular risk

Mediterranean and low-fat dietary programs reduce the likelihood of death and heart attack in patients at heightened risk of cardiovascular disease, finds the first comparative review based on randomized trials of seven popular dietary programs published by The BMJ today.

Hunger hormone can increase the heart's pump capacity in patients with heart failure

A clinical study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden shows that the hunger hormone ghrelin can increase the heart's pump capacity in patients with heart failure.

New project to validate a novel hydrogel for preventing scar tissue formation after heart attack

The European Union has awarded a European Consortium €4.5 million for the ELR-Scar project to validate a novel hydrogel biomaterial that will prevent scar tissue from forming in the heart following a heart attack.

COVID-19 vaccination may reduce the risk of thrombosis in hospitalized patients

A study published in the British Journal of Hematology describes that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are effective in reducing thrombotic events and preventing disease severity in individuals with breakthrough severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.

Ozone pollution associated with increase in hospital admissions for heart attack, heart failure and stroke

The first evidence that exceeding the World Health Organization ozone limit is associated with substantial increases in hospital admissions for heart attack, heart failure and stroke is published today in European Heart Journal, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology.

Investigating treat-to-target low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol versus high-intensity statins for coronary artery disease

In a recent study published in JAMA, researchers investigated whether treat-to-target (TTT) low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) therapy was inferior to administering statins of high intensity for clinical outcomes in the long term among coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.

Newfound mechanism helps the heart to toggle between maintenance and energy-boost mode

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona have discovered a mechanism involving ribosomes which helps the heart toggle between a 'regular maintenance mode' for day-to-day function and an 'energy-boost mode' which aids recovery for high-demand situations including heart attacks.

Study shows survival benefit of home-based rehabilitation in cardiovascular disease patients

In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, researchers comparatively evaluated death rates among home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) participants and non-participants.

Immediate complete revascularization is not inferior to staged procedure for treating multi-vessel disease

In patients with multi-vessel heart disease who have had a heart attack, immediate treatment with stents in all diseased arteries was found to be as safe and effective at one year of follow-up as staged treatment, according to findings from the first large, randomized trial to address this question that is being presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session Together With the World Congress of Cardiology. In staged treatment, the blocked artery that caused the heart attack is treated with a stent immediately and other partially blocked arteries are treated in a second procedure up to six weeks later.
