Heart Disease and Diabetes

Study shows that blood glucose lowering therapies pose an increased risk of heart failure directly linked to the medication or strategy being used. A comprehensive...

A research team discovered how cells know to rush to a wound and heal it, opening the door to new treatments for diabetes, heart...

The FDA approved the ResQCPR System, devices for first responders that may improve a cardiac arrest patient's chance of surviving. The U.S. Food and Drug...

Scientists have discovered a new potential therapy that may reduce brain damage following stroke in type 2 diabetic patients. The suggested drug, linagliptin, is...

The American Diabetes Association is recommending a less stringent diastolic blood pressure target for people with diabetes and that all people with diabetes take either moderate or high doses of statins.

Researchers were able to show a correlation between patients treated with a higher dosage of insulin and a raised risk of cancer development, heart attacks and stroke.

According to a new long-term study, diabetic patients with even mild coronary artery disease face the same relative risk for a heart attack or other major adverse heart events as diabetics with serious single-vessel obstructive disease.

According to a major new study, routine heart imaging screenings for people with diabetes at high risk to experience a cardiac event, but who have no symptoms of heart disease, does not help them avoid heart attacks, hospitalization for unstable angina or cardiac death.

Men who have low testosterone and Type 2 diabetes face a greater risk of developing atherosclerosis - a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries - than men who have diabetes and normal testosterone levels.

Researchers may have found a novel way to suppress the devastating side effect of one of the worlds' most widely used drugs to lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease.

Stroke survivors should control their blood pressure, cholesterol and weight and do moderate physical activity regularly to avoid having another stroke.

Researchers have uncovered evidence that sugar has a direct effect on risk factors for heart disease, and is likely to impact on blood pressure, independent of weight gain.

Dangerous overnight blood sugar levels often go undetected and cause prolonged periods of heart rhythm disturbances in older patients with Type 2 diabetes.

The duration of diabetes and advancing age independently predict diabetes severity and risk of death in older adults with type 2 diabetes according to a recent study.

Even though the drugs control blood sugar equally well in both sexes, widely used treatments for type 2 diabetes have different effects on the hearts of men and women.

Cardiovascular complications and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) were common nonfatal complications in adults 60 years of age and older with diabetes.
