Pediatrician creates easier way to identify kids' high BP May 26, 2009
The current standard chart used by healthcare providers to evaluate pediatric blood pressure is from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and includes hundreds of normal and abnormal blood pressure values. In order to differentiate between normal and abnormal readings, providers need to, not only remember the variety of blood pressure ranges, but also know the child's height percentile which can be difficult to verify, especially in non-primary care settings.

Genetic Factors May Predict Depression In Heart Disease Patients May 24, 2009
ScienceDaily (May 23, 2009) Individuals with heart disease are twice as likely to suffer from depression as the general population, an association the medical community has largely been unable to explain. Now, a new study by researchers at The Miriam Hospital, in conjunction with The Montr;al Heart Institute, University of Montr;al and McGill University, reveals there may be genetic variations that contribute to depression in heart disease patients.

ScienceDaily (May 14, 2009) In a study led by Akiko Hata, PhD, of Tufts University School of Medicine, researchers have shown that a protein expressed in the heart, FHL2, inhibits the genes necessary for the quiescence of vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs), which line blood vessels. Vascular smooth muscle cells undergo a process in diseases such as atherosclerosis or normal tissue damage caused by balloon angioplasty where they transition between a resting and proliferative state.
