Patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease may be slipping through the net because there’s a better test that GPs can use to detect it, according to new research. Heart disease is one of the biggest killers in the UK, with heart and circulatory conditions claiming the lives of 160,000 people each year, according to […]

Driving with heart disease: checking fitness to drive: People suffering from various types of cardiovascular disease are subject to a certain accident risk when driving a vehicle on the road. High blood pressure, coronary heart disease and cardiac insufficiency might be grounds for a (temporary) driving ban. Numerous diseases are capable of causing traffic accidents […]

A plastic device that could radically reduce the risks and complications of treating coronary heart disease, is being co-developed by scientists at Queen’s University Belfast. The researchers are working as part of a national project, which is being led by the University of St Andrews, and also includes experts from the University of the Highlands […]

Long working hours increasing deaths from heart disease and stroke: WHO, ILO: Long working hours led to 745 000 deaths from stroke and ischemic heart disease in 2016, a 29 per cent increase since 2000, according to the latest estimates by the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization published in Environment International. In a […]
Exercise has been used in the treatment of many medical conditions, including heart and lung diseases. But it can also play an important role in treating peripheral artery disease. Our latest review shows that for people with peripheral artery disease, exercise programmes may help improve walking ability and quality of life by relieving symptoms of […]

Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland and Kuopio University Hospital have discovered several new biomarkers that are associated with incident heart failure. In a new study, several inflammatory biomarkers and cell energy metabolites were linked to an increased risk of incident heart failure. The study used a random selection of 10,106 men participating in […]

Scoring system improves screening for “dual” heart disease: Aortic stenosis, high-grade narrowing of the aortic valve, and cardiac amyloidosis, in which protein is deposited in the heart muscle, are serious heart diseases, which can be concomitant, especially in older patients. An international study involving a research team led by Julia Mascherbauer and Christian Nitsche from […]

Australia: Chronic disease and public health failures fuel COVID-19 pandemic: Australia was not spared as a 30-year global rise in chronic illness and related risk factors such as obesity, high blood sugar, and outdoor air pollution created a perfect storm to fuel coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths, new research shows. The latest Global Burden of Disease Study […]
