Few athletes survive sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AED's) had surprisingly little effect on the survival rates for young athletes who experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), according to a new study published in the July 2006 edition of Heart Rhythm. Of the nine intercollegiate athletes the study examined between 1999 and 2005, eight did not survive.

Chronic noise exposure increase risk of heart attacks
Research published online today (Thursday 24 November) in European's leading cardiology journal, European Heart Journal, links exposure to chronic noise with an increased risk of heart attack. Furthermore, the risk seems to be associated more with the physiological effect of environmental and work noise than with the annoyance it causes individuals, although there are differences in effects between men and women.
