Omega-3 augmentation of sertraline in treatment of depression in patients with coronary heart disease: a randomized controlled trial.

19 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Studies of depressed psychiatric patients have shown that antidepressant efficacy can be increased by augmentation with omega-3 fatty acids. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether omega-3 improves the response to sertraline in patients with major ... Read more...

Potential clinical and economic consequences of noncardiac incidental findings on cardiac computed tomography.

11 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the incidence, clinical significance, and potential financial impact of noncardiac incidental findings (IF) identified with cardiac computed tomography (CT). BACKGROUND: Cardiac CT is gaining acceptance and may ... Read more...

Emerging risk factors for coronary heart disease: a summary of systematic reviews conducted for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Traditional risk factors do not explain all of the risk for incident coronary heart disease (CHD) events. Various new or emerging risk factors have the potential to improve global risk assessment for CHD. PURPOSE: To summarize the ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Coronary Disease'

Definition: An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
