Earlier intervention for most common form of heart attacks linked to improved survival rates
Changes in the treatment of the most common form of heart attack over the past decade have been associated with higher survival rates for men and women regardless of age, race and ethnicity, according to a UCLA-led analysis.
But the study also suggests that there is room for improvement in how current treatment guidelines are applied among specific patient groups.
The researchers reviewed records for 6.5 million people who were treated for heart attacks between 2002 and 2011. The analysis was among the first and largest national studies to assess the impact of the trend toward more aggressive care for patients who experien...

Robot Stent Placement in the Cath Lab
Angioplasty and stent placement is the gold standard for the emergency treatment of heart attacks. But getting the patient to a catheterization lab where the angioplasty can be performed in a timely fashion has been a challenge. Now, Corindus Vascular Robotics is testing a new solution, whereby an interventional cardiologist may be able to perform an angioplasty and precisely place a stent -- from another city!

Unique use of heart-lung machine saves heart attack victim at UCLA emergency room
James Manzi is lucky to be alive. When the 79-year-old Brentwood, Calif., resident arrived at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center's emergency room in full cardiac arrest, the medical team tried everything to stabilize him, including shocking his heart 29 times with a defibrillator in an attempt to restore a normal rhythm.
Often, patients whose heart attacks are as severe as Manzi's don't survive. Only one out of every 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital lives through the ordeal.
As the team worked, UCLA emergency medicine physician Dr. Eric Savitsky monitored Manzi's diminishing r...

Can Near-Infrared Imaging Predict Heart Attack Risk?
What causes a heart attack? Is it a physical narrowing in the coronary artery, a blockage that can be seen on angiography? Or is it more likely the eruption of a lipid-rich plaque, a so-called vulnerable plaque, that may not look significant in percent stenosis during a standard catheterization? Today MedStar Heart Institute and Infraredx announced enrollment of the first patient in the Lipid-Rich Plaque (LRP) Study, which will involve 100 centers worldwide and has a target enrollment of 9,000 patients. As Infraredx founder Dr. James Muller states, "Once completed, the LRP Study could redefine the role of intravascular ima...
