How a person’s immune system responds to a protein called LL-37 may increase risk for developing acute coronary syndrome, but the response may also serve as a potential target for future treatments.
Personalized text messages effectively promoted increased physical activity for patients after significant heart events — such as a heart attack or surgery — but those effects later diminished.
Loyola University Medical Center (LUMC) has earned the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability.
There’s still much to learn about how doxorubicin, a 50-year-old chemotherapy drug, causes its most concerning side effects. While responsible for saving many lives, this treatment sometimes causes cardiac damage that stiffens the heart and puts a subset of patients at risk for future heart failure. To better understand and potentially control such complications, Tufts University School of Medicine and Tufts Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences researchers have isolated the immune cells that become overactive when patients take doxorubicin.
A new study of middle-age and older adults looks at sex differences in frailty levels and their link with heart health. The findings suggest that moving your body more through regular exercise and sitting less can help keep both heart disease and frailty at bay as we age.
MedStar Washington Hospital Center is tied for the #1 hospital in the Washington metro region in the 2024-2025 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals. Additionally, two of MedStar Washington’s clinical programs are nationally ranked. Cardiology, Heart & Vascular Surgery again ranked at #38 in the country.
The data fed to artificial intelligence (AI) systems make all the difference on performance, according to David Ouyang, MD, a cardiologist in the Department of Cardiology in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
Older women who require heart bypass surgery are more likely than men to receive care at low quality hospitals — where they also die in greater numbers following the procedure, a Michigan Medicine study finds.
Mount Sinai-led study demonstrates significant safety outcomes and could lead to more frequent use of this new technology
The scorching heat can be inescapable this time of year, and as temperatures hover around triple digits, experts at UT Southwestern Medical Center caution that uncomfortable weather can escalate to dangerous health conditions.
According to new research looking at every U.S. state, programs that deliver medically tailored meals (MTMs) to people with diet-sensitive conditions such as diabetes and heart disease along with limitations in the ability to perform daily activities could lead to substantial savings in healthcare costs.
Jon Kobashigawa, MD, director of the Heart Transplant Program in the Department of Cardiology in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai, has assumed the top volunteer leadership position of the American Society of Transplantation.
A study from The Ohio State University finds important differences among patients who survive a cardiac arrest to receive hospital care before their death.
Eating patterns that align with the Mediterranean diet or the dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) diet could help lower cardiovascular disease risk in adults with type 1 diabetes, according to results from a six-year study.
Two studies led by Michigan Medicine find that female patients who undergo heart surgery are less likely to have secondary ailments corrected during a procedure — despite guidelines that indicate they should. Researchers say it adds to growing evidence that women are undertreated across the spectrum of cardiovasvular care.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis can more effectively study mutations that cause heart disease by putting cells through their paces.
