2004-04-14 12:18:24
Description: A large, multi-center heart disease prevention study, part of the Women�s Health Initiative (WHI), found that estrogen-alone hormone therapy had no effect on coronary heart disease risk but increased the risk of stroke for postmenopausal women.

2004-04-13 18:10:57
Description: Hormone replacement therapy is often used to treat the symptoms of menopause. Now, another study into the effectiveness and safety of the treatment has been stopped because too many women in the study were having strokes. Estrogen is a commonly used postmenopausal hormone therapy in the United States. Two months ago, the second major Women's Health Initiative study was stopped early because of an increased risk of stroke in the women taking estrogen.

Description: Cyberkinetics Inc. of Foxboro, Mass., has received Food and Drug Administration approval to begin a clinical trial in which four-square-millimeter chips will be placed beneath the skulls of paralyzed patients. If successful, the chips could allow patients to command a computer to act - merely by thinking about the instructions they wish to send. It's a small, early step in a mission to improve the quality of life for victims of strokes and debilitating diseases like cerebral palsy or Lou Gehrig's.

http://www.seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Health/4-04-09Seizures.htm

2004-04-09 12:14:03
Description: April 9, 2004 - People 60 and over who experience an unexplained epileptic seizure may be at high risk of subsequent strokes, according to new research. This �high risk� identification could lead to preventative treatment. These seizures should be viewed as a risk factor for stroke in the same way as other conventional risk factors such as smoking or lack of exercise, say the UK researchers, who�s study appears in this week�s issue of THE LANCET.

896. Statin Treatment Before Stroke May Improve Outcome
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=healthNews&storyID=4790238

2004-04-08 18:11:20
Description: NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Cholesterol-lowering "statin" drugs (such as Zocor or Lipitor) are prescribed to protect the heart, but they may also protect the brain. According to doctors in Barcelona, Spain, people who were taking a statin before they suffered a stroke were functioning better three months later than other stroke patients who had not been on a statin.

http://www.heartcenteronline.com/myheartdr/home/research-detail.cfm?reutersid=4276

2004-04-08 12:17:19
Description: Common heart defect may not increase risk of second stroke. New guidelines may alter the way physicians treat patients who have a patent foramen ovale (a small hole between the two upper chambers of the heart) and have experienced a stroke. Under previous guidelines, it was believed that a patent foramen ovale (PFO) made it more likely for patients who suffered a stroke from an unknown cause to experience a second stroke. Those guidelines influenced the way a PFO was treated.

899. Trial Drug Lifts 'Good' Cholesterol Levels
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/health/content/shared-auto/healthnews/drug/518291.html

2004-04-07 18:15:53
Description: Will higher levels of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol actually decrease the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions?

900. Batteryless implants to monitor heart
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2004-02/ns-bit022504.php

2004-02-25 15:17:14
Description: MINIATURE sensors similar to those that trigger airbags in cars might soon be implanted in the hearts of people suffering from a kind of heart disease. The sensors would make it easy for doctors to measure blood pressure inside the heart, which at present involves repeated operations. The implant, the size of a grain of rice, is one of a new breed of medical devices that requires no batteries. A radio transmitter and receiver held near the body provides the power and interrogates the implant.
