Outwardly expressed anger affects some women's heart arteries, says a new women-only study
01-12-2007 · EurekAlert!Researchers seeking to improve diagnostic and treatment tools for women with heart disease have found that the outward expression of anger and hostility is higher in certain women with suspected coronary artery disease. But anger and hostility also are associated with atypical cardiac symptoms in women who do not have angiographic evidence of heart disease. C. Noel Bairey Merz, principal investigator of the multicenter Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) Study, is available to discuss the research and its implications.

- Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms in women may save lives
11-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
In nine out of 10 cases, a burst abdominal aortic artery is quickly fatal for its most common victim: elderly males. A new study -- the largest yet performed -- now confirms that women over 65 with a history of smoking or heart disease are also at high risk for an abdominal aortic aneurysm -- supporting the notion that they should also receive ultrasound screening to help spot and correct the dangerous condition.

- UCLA study links air pollution to clogged arteries
07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Got high cholesterol? Better stay away from air pollution. So says a new study linking diesel exhaust to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which significantly increases one’s risk for heart attack and stroke. The research is the first to explain how fine particles in air pollution conspire with artery-clogging fats to switch on the genes that cause blood vessel inflammation and lead to cardiovascular disease.

- Depression and anxiety can double chances of heart ailments
01-18-2008 · EurekAlert!
Matters of the mind can affect matters of the heart. A new study by McGill University and University of Montreal researchers has found that major anxiety and/or depression, can double a coronary artery disease patient's chances of repeated heart ailments. This is one of the first studies to focus on patients with stable coronary artery disease -- not those who were hospitalized for events such as a heart attack.

- Brain's reward circuit activity ebbs and flows with a woman's hormonal cycle
02-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Fluctuations in sex hormone levels during women's menstrual cycles affect the responsiveness of their brains' reward circuitry, an imaging study has revealed. While women were winning rewards, their circuitry was more active if they were in a menstrual phase preceding ovulation and dominated by estrogen, compared to a phase when estrogen and progesterone are present. These first pictures of sex hormones influencing reward-evoked brain activity in humans may provide insights into mood and anxiety disorders.

A space-based technology may provide an inexpensive and more reliable way to gauge the walking capacity in many patients with peripheral artery disease, whose clogged leg arteries cause them severe pain when they walk, according to a report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.

- Type 1 diabetes and heart disease -- Heavier may mean healthier
06-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences studying links between an early sign of heart disease called coronary artery calcification and body fat have found that, paradoxically, more fat may have some advantages, at least for people -- particularly women -- who have type 1 diabetes. Cardiovascular complications, including heart disease, are a leading cause of death for people with diabetes, who tend to suffer cardiovascular disease decades earlier than non-diabetics.

- Treating obstructive sleep apnea, preventing heart attacks and strokes
09-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers in Brazil have found that treating patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure dramatically reduces early indications of atherosclerosis in just months, linking OSA directly to the hardening or narrowing of the arteries. Until now, no study has demonstrated such a direct relationship between the two.
