Home AED Study A new study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and Philips Medical Systems will provide valuable insight into whether an AED in the home will help heart attack survivors live longer and more productive lives.

Among the more than 5,000 women with type 2 diabetes enrolled in the ongoing Nurses' Health Study, researchers found that women who ate fish once per week were 40 percent less likely to develop heart disease than women who rarely ate fish. CorRestore for Congestive Heart Failure Jerry Westling used to get winded walking up a flight of stairs. Now, thanks to a new surgical procedure using a patch made from cow heart tissue, the 56-year-old man is helping build a concession stand for an Oregon high-school baseball team.
