High risk heart patients benefit from angioplasty with heart lung support
Dr. Robert A Vogel of the University of Maryland Hospital reports that balloon angioplasty with a heart lung machine is safe for the most high risk heart patients. In a 455 patient study across 23 hospitals, 8 percent were alive after two years, with reduced angina and better heart function. The research, presented at the American Heart Association conference in Dallas, suggests improved outcomes for those previously deemed untreatable.

Anti-smoking group blocks national ventilation standards
The American ANSI appeal upheld by the group aims to prevent standards that would have shielded office workers from second hand smoke. Tobacco industry opponents claim the rules would misrepresent evidence linking tobacco smoke to disease and could force bans or liability. The process involves the Tobacco Institute and ASHRAE committee members, with critics noting hidden influence in standard setting.

Heart shockers could save lives from sudden death
Dr. Zipes and other experts at the American Heart Association meeting say automatic defibrillators could save about two thirds of the 300,000 yearly sudden death cases if common and easy to use. With better access in offices, arenas, and stores, devices must be cheap, simple, and widely available to cut response times.
