Heart Attack :: Fish oil good for heart attack patients
Fish oil supplements are considered good for heart attack patients, and could prevent a repeat attack of survivors of cardiac arrest, MI.

Eye :: Mid-life headaches may increase risk of vision problems
Middle-aged men and women with a history of migraine and other headaches are more likely to have retinopathy, damage to the retina of the eye which can lead to severe vision problems or blindness, than those without a history of headaches, according to a study published in the May 15, 2007, issue of Neurology?, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Retinopathy :: History of migraines associated with increased risk of retinopathy
Middle-aged men and women with a history of migraine and other headaches are more likely to have retinopathy, damage to the retina of the eye which can lead to severe vision problems or blindness, than those without a history of headaches, according to a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Heart :: Scientists from the CIMA from the University of Navarra investigate a molecule for diagnosing hypertensive cardiopathy
Scientists from the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA) from the University of Navarra investigate whether cardiotrophin 1, a molecule that can be measured in blood, can be used as a diagnostic marker for hypertensive cardiopathy.
High Blood Pressure :: Kids High Blood Pressure Often Missed
High blood pressure in children often goes unnoticed at the doctor?s office, and many children go home without follow-up or treatment, suggests a study from the Johns Hopkins Children?s Center.
Heart :: CIMA Scientists investigate a molecule for diagnosing hypertensive cardiopathy
Scientists from the Center for Applied Medical Research from the University of Navarra investigate whether cardiotrophin 1, a molecule that can be measured in blood, can be used as a diagnostic marker for hypertensive cardiopathy.
Diet :: Animal research raises possibility of end to fat-free diets
A new study in mice raises a tantalizing possibility — that humans may one day be able to eat any kind of fat they want without raising their risk of heart disease.
Heart :: Nitric oxide controls cardiovascular and pulmonary function and drug effectiveness
A naturally occurring molecule in the body appears to control whether certain medications, such as beta adrenergic receptor agonists used in acute heart failure or in inhalers for asthma, lose their effectiveness over time.
Heart Disease :: DNA sequence that boosts a person’s susceptibility to heart disease
Researchers at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI) have identified a piece of the DNA sequence that boosts a person’s susceptibility to heart disease by up to 40 per cent regardless of other established risks such as cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes. The discovery could help identify people at high future risk for heart disease, enabling early preventive therapies, including lifestyle changes and medication to reduce their risk. This finding may also lead to a better understanding of the biological pathways that lead to heart attacks.
Migraine :: Migraines associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in men
Men with migraine headaches may be at an increased risk for major cardiovascular disease and especially heart attacks, according to a report in the April 23 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
