Study researchers have unveiled a new type of imaging technology capable of diagnosing heart disease by measuring ultrasound signals from molecules that are exposed to a quickly-pulsing laser.

It's long been known that chronic long inflammation was linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A new study indicates there is not only a connection, but a blood protein that acts as "a good predictor."

Much like the rest of the world, the United Kingdom has long grappled with trying to convince citizens to maintain healthier lifestyles in an effort to curb the risk of heart attacks.

Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of Americans, but perhaps thousands of those deaths could be prevented every year with the greater implementation of medications as simple as beta blockers and cardiac devices such as implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.

Magnets have an untold number of uses -- both in science and everyday living. New research shows another of those uses may be heart attack prevention.

With an increase in gestational diabetes in recent years, researchers had grown concerned that could spell lingering heart disease concerns for many new mothers. A recent study shows that is not the case except for certain high-risk populations.

Interested in reducing your risk of heart disease? It might be easier than you think. Cutting out cake, biscuits, cereal and certain other high phosphate foods may be all that is needed to do the trick.
