| Cardiac bypass surgery superior to non-surgical procedure for adults with diabetes and heart disease Posted: 04 Nov 2012 06:08 PM PST Adults with diabetes and multi-vessel coronary heart disease who underwent cardiac bypass surgery had better overall heart-related outcomes than those who underwent an artery-opening procedure to improve blood flow to the heart muscle, according to new results. |
| New device could allow your heartbeat to power pacemaker Posted: 04 Nov 2012 06:08 PM PST An experimental device that converts energy from a beating heart could provide enough electricity to power a pacemaker. Such pacemakers could eliminate the need for surgeries to replace pacemakers with depleted batteries. |
| Drug doesn't significantly lower risk of major heart problems in dialysis patients Posted: 04 Nov 2012 05:22 AM PST In one of the largest and longest trials involving patients with kidney failure, a study led by an international team of researchers found that cinacalcet -- a drug commonly prescribed to patients with kidney failure and a disturbance of bone and mineral metabolism known as secondary hyperparathyroidism -- does not significantly reduce the risk of death or major cardiovascular events. |
| Promising treatment for inherited form of kidney disease Posted: 04 Nov 2012 05:22 AM PST A drug therapy shows promise for treating an inherited form of kidney disease called autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, researchers say. |
| Without adult intervention in concussion management, youth sports can become demolition derby Posted: 02 Nov 2012 01:28 PM PDT Chris Hummel, a concussion researcher and longtime athletic trainer, says coaches, parents and referees need to be educated in recognizing and managing concussions in young athletes. Those adults also need to know when to step in and enforce mandated safety rules. |
