Surgeons at Boston Children’s Hospital have successfully implanted a modified version of a expandable prosthetic heart valve in several children with mitral valve disease. Unlike traditional prosthetic valves that have a fixed diameter, the expandable valve can be enlarged as a child grows, thus potentially avoiding the repeat valve replacement surgeries that are commonly required […]
Using an endoscope to guide the removal of leg veins used in heart surgery is as safe as using large, ankle-to-groin incisions, according to a study by Duke University Medical Center researchers. The data shows the two procedures have similar mortality rates after three years. The endoscopic method has lower rates of infection and wound […]
On 14 February 2012, the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) published the results of a literature search for evidence-based clinical practice guidelines on the treatment of people with heart failure. The aim of the report is to identify those recommendations from current guidelines of high methodological quality that may be […]
Cardiologists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a non-invasive imaging technique that may help determine whether children who have had heart transplants are showing early signs of rejection. The technique could reduce the need for these patients to undergo invasive imaging tests every one to two years. The invasive imaging […]
Transplant patients are among those at highest risk of adverse outcomes when receiving a stent to address a blockage in an artery. Compared with the general public, these patients have a much higher rate of restenosis, a side effect of stenting in which the artery becomes re-blocked because of an exaggerated scarring process at the […]
In a world-first, researchers from Charite – Universitatsmedizin Berlin and the Max Delbruck Centre for Molecular Medicine (MDC) have performed cardiac MRI imaging using a 7T MRI scanner in a patient-based study. 7T MRI imaging is a powerful new technology that allows high resolution images of the beating heart, and has the capability to provide […]
Even a single dose of a specific ribonucleic acid molecule, known as a small interfering RNA (siRNA), offers patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease long-lasting protection against high LDL cholesterol – one of the main risk factors for heart attack and stroke. This is the result of a clinical study by researchers from Charite […]
Researchers have discovered the molecular basis for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases in older women. The study found that older women had mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced antioxidant proteins, and increased inflammation. Previous studies have shown sex differences in the age at which cardiovascular diseases occur. Ischemic heart disease, for example, develops on average seven to […]
