Los pacientes con disfunción eréctil tienen una alta probabilidad de padecer un infarto de miocardio en el plazo de tres años. En el mes de la esterilidad, el hospital madrileño inaugura la nueva Unidad de Andrología y Salud Sexual.
Depressive symptoms appear to be involved in the relationship between health-related quality of life and cardiac event-free survival in patients with heart failure, researchers found. Both depressive symptoms and health-related quality of life were independently associated with cardiac event-free survival among patients treated in heart failure clinics, according to Kyoung Suk Lee, PhD, RN, of the University of Kentucky in Lexington.
Habitual drinkers of a moderate amount of coffee may lower their risk of heart failure, a meta-analysis of Swedish and Finnish studies showed. The largest relative risk reduction (11%) was associated with four to five European servings per day, which is the equivalent of about two cups of coffee at popular chains in the U.S., according to Murray Mittleman, MD, DrPH, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and colleagues.
On 18 June 2012, Edwards Lifesciences announced that it has received the CE mark in Europe for the Ascendra+ system for the delivery of the Edwards Sapien XT transcatheter heart valve. It is the first delivery system optimised for both transapical and transaortic implantation of a transcatheter heart valve.
AstraZeneca announced last week that full data results of the PLATO health economics substudy, which have been published online in the European Heart Journal, demonstrate that even at a higher drug cost and incremental cost per acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patient, ticagrelor (known as BRILIQUE in the European Union and BRILINTA elsewhere) numerically lowered non-drug healthcare costs versus generic clopidogrel and is cost-effective.
Young, healthy adults exposed to ozone - a component of air pollution - for 2 hours had changes in markers of inflammation, thrombosis, and heart rate variability, a randomized crossover study found. They showed an 85.3% increase (95% CI 44.1 to 138.5) in blood levels of the inflammatory chemokine interleukin (IL)-8, according to Robert B. Devlin, PhD, of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and colleagues.

On October 11-12, 2012, the Duke Clinical Research Institute, in conjunction with the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI), will present the "2nd Annual Duke Masters Course in Transradial Intervention", continuing its commitment to providing an advanced level of training in this new and growing technique to be offered in the United States. According to the organizers, the Duke course is one of the only advanced Masters level transradial courses offered in the U.S.
Drug-eluting stents (DESs) do not seem to offer advantages over bare-metal stents (BMSs) for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation, according to research published in the July 1 issue of The American Journal of Cardiology.
New clinical data published in the International Journal of Cardiologysupports that OrbusNeich s Genous Stent is safe and effective in patients who discontinue DAPT within 15 days of stent placement. Specifically, no differences in rates of stent thrombosis (ST) and other clinical outcomes were observed between patients who discontinued DAPT prior to and after 15 days, according to the results of ARGENTO, a consecutive, prospective study in 384 patients undergoing single or multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the Genous Stent
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) could be added to the list of criteria for defining people at highest risk for future coronary events, Canadian researchers found. In a large cohort study, patients with only CKD had a significantly higher rate of myocardial infarction (MI) than those who only had diabetes (5.4 versus 6.9 per 1,000 person-years, P<0.0001), according to Marcello Tonelli, MD, of the University of Alberta, and colleagues.
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) son la primera causa de muerte en nuestro país, siendo responsables del 31,8% de los fallecimientos. Sin embargo, en las mujeres esta proporción aumenta al 35,18%. Tras las ECV, se encuentran como principales causas de mortalidad femenina los tumores (22,35%) y las enfermedades del sistema respiratorio (9,14%)
Se dice que el uno es el número más solitario, pero también podría ser el más letal. Dos estudios recientes sugieren que vivir solo o sentir soledad pueden aumentar el riesgo de morir de enfermedad cardiaca o de cualquier causa de una persona. En un estudio, las personas con enfermedad cardiaca que vivían solas eran más propensas a morir que sus contrapartes que no vivían solas. Un segundo estudio mostró que las personas a partir de los 60 años de edad estaban en mayor riesgo de declive funcional y/o muerte si se sentían ignoradas, aisladas o reportaban una falta de compañía. Ambos estudios aparecen en la edición en línea del 18 de junio de la revista Archives of Internal Medicine.
Heart transplant patients are notorious for developing an aggressive form of coronary artery disease that can often result in heart failure, death or the need for repeat transplantation. The condition can also have a negative impact on future cardiac procedures, such as stenting.
The use of a cerebral embolic protection device during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) system is feasible and safe, according to a study published in EuroIntervention.
