Malfunction of Automated External Defibrillators
not uncommon, study shows |
|
| |
Data presented today at the Heart
Rhythm Society's 27th Annual Scientific Sessions finds that during
a 10-year study period more than one in five automatic external
defibrillators (AEDs) were recalled due to potential malfunction.
The findings represent some of the first data available on safety
and reliability of the devices, which are used to resuscitate victims
of cardiac arrest.

| Ethnic differences in risks of adverse reactions to
cardiovascular drugs |
| |
Some ethnic groups may be more
susceptible to adverse drug reactions, finds a study published on
bmj.com. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are an important cause of
ill health and death. Several factors including genetic make up,
age, sex, and even diet, can all alter a patient’s susceptibility
to ADRs. But it is not known to what extent susceptibility to ADRs
might depend on ethnic group, whether as a result of genetic or
cultural factors.

Training program may reverse
underlying abnormalities in heart failure more effectively than
drug treatment |

Aerobic training is associated
with a reversal of abnormal hormonal patterns that underlie many
of the debilitating symptoms of heart failure, according to a new
study in the May 2, 2006, issue of the Journal of the American College
of Cardiology.
