 Survival of cardiac arrest victims improves when bystanders use AED shock therapySurvival of cardiac arrest victims improves when bystanders use AED shock therapy
 
Survival from cardiac arrest doubled when a bystander stepped in to apply an automated external defibrillator (AED) before emergency responders arrived, according to new research in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation.
 
   Expanded model of care could relieve depression and fatigue in chronic heart failure patientsExpanded model of care could relieve depression and fatigue in chronic heart failure patients
 
Patients with chronic heart failure face related problems, such as depression and fatigue, that could be relieved by an expanded model of care, according to a recently published study led by a researcher from the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
 
   Higher waist and hip size strongly linked to heart attack risk among womenHigher waist and hip size strongly linked to heart attack risk among women
 
Higher waist and hip size are more strongly associated with heart attack risk than overall obesity, especially among women, according to research in Journal of the American Heart Association, the Open Access Journal of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
 
 Search engine queries reflect geographic distribution of coronary heart disease
 
Search engine queries reflect geographic distribution of coronary heart diseaseSearch engine queries related to common heart disease symptoms track closely with geographic and seasonal trends for coronary heart disease hospitalizations, according to research being presented at the American College of Cardiology's 67th Annual Scientific Session.
 
 
 Getting influenza vaccine linked to 50% drop in risk of death for heart failure patients
 
Getting influenza vaccine linked to 50% drop in risk of death for heart failure patientsFor people with heart failure, getting a seasonal influenza (flu) vaccine in a given year was associated with a 50 percent drop in the risk of death during flu season and a 20 percent drop in the risk of death during the rest of the year, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 67th Annual Scientific Session.
 
 
 Aspirin appears to reduce risk of death, hospitalization for people with heart failure and diabetes
 
Aspirin appears to reduce risk of death, hospitalization for people with heart failure and diabetesFor people living with both Type 2 diabetes and heart failure, taking an aspirin each day appears to lower the risk of dying or being hospitalized for heart failure, according to research being presented at the American College of Cardiology's 67th Annual Scientific Session.
 
 
 Breast cancer and lymphoma survivors at greater risk of developing heart failure
 
Breast cancer and lymphoma survivors at greater risk of developing heart failurePatients who were treated for breast cancer or lymphoma are more than three times at risk for developing congestive heart failure, compared with patients who did not have cancer. Congestive heart failure is when the heart muscle does not pump blood as well as it should.
 
 
 Anxiety disorders can have protective effect after a heart attack
 
Anxiety disorders can have protective effect after a heart attackFear protects people from danger. A team from the Technical University of Munich and Helmholtz Zentrum München has discovered that this applies even to pathological anxiety disorders. Patients who generally suffer from severe anxiety are likely to heed the symptoms of a heart attack earlier and seek medical treatment sooner, thus improving their chance of survival.
 
 
 Study finds Ramadan fasting to be safe for heart failure patients
 
Study finds Ramadan fasting to be safe for heart failure patientsRamadan fasting can be safe for patients with heart failure, according to research presented today at the 29th Annual Conference of the Saudi Heart Association, held 1 to 3 March in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
 
 
 Reduced risk of heart disease for mothers who breastfeed
 
Reduced risk of heart disease for mothers who breastfeedAccording to a new study, women who breastfeed their babies for a minimum of 6 months after giving birth have a reduced risk of heart disease in later life.
 
 
 Regular walking linked to drop in heart failure risk among post-menopausal women
 
Regular walking linked to drop in heart failure risk among post-menopausal womenWalking for at least 40 minutes several times per week at an average to fast pace is associated with a near 25 percent drop in the risk of heart failure among post-menopausal women, according to new research being presented at the American College of Cardiology's 67th Annual Scientific Session.
 
 
 Inflammatory bowel disease linked to elevated risk of heart attack
 
Inflammatory bowel disease linked to elevated risk of heart attackAn analysis of medical-record data from more than 17.5 million patients found that people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at elevated risk for a heart attack, regardless of whether or not they have traditional risk factors for heart disease such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and smoking.
 
 
 Heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction have better survival outcomes, study shows
 
Heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction have better survival outcomes, study showsA joint 7-year cohort study of 2039 patients in both Singapore's restructured hospitals and New Zealand's hospitals, revealed answers to key questions about the epidemiology of heart failure.
 
 
 Oral contraceptives increase ischemic stroke risk
 
Oral contraceptives increase ischemic stroke riskOral contraceptives increase the risk of ischemic stroke, but this risk is very small among women who do not have other stroke risk factors, according to a comprehensive review in the journal MedLink Neurology by Loyola Medicine stroke specialists.
 
 
 Heart attack patients prescribed antidepressants have lower survival rates
 
Heart attack patients prescribed antidepressants have lower survival ratesHeart attack patients prescribed antidepressants have lower one-year survival rates, according to research presented today at Acute Cardiovascular Care 2018, a European Society of Cardiology Congress.
 
 
 Weekend admissions linked to excess mortality risk among young heart attack patients
 
Weekend admissions linked to excess mortality risk among young heart attack patientsYoung heart attack patients are twice as likely to die if they are admitted to hospital during the weekend compared to a weekday, according to an Italian study in more than 80,000 patients presented today at Acute Cardiovascular Care 2018.
 
 
 Waist to hip ratio predicts heart attack risks among women
 
Waist to hip ratio predicts heart attack risks among womenAccording to a new study from the George Institute for Global Health, women who have larger waists compared to their hips are at a greater risk of heart attacks than men who have a similar shape. A larger waist compared to hips is typically called the “apple shape”. The study appeared in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association and was sourced by data and other aids by UK Biobank.
 
 
 Early iron supplementation appears to provide protection for low birth weight children
 
Early iron supplementation appears to provide protection for low birth weight childrenChildren with a birth weight under 2.5 kilos stand at risk of becoming underweight and can experience cognitive difficulties as well as diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life.
 
 
 Prediabetes linked to substantial risk for cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases
 
Prediabetes linked to substantial risk for cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseasesResearchers at the Emory Rollins School of Public Health and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that high proportions of patients with prediabetes are at substantial risk for cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. Their findings are published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology.
