UTA College of Nursing and Health Innovation leader helps develop new heart-related guidelines

ARLINGTON, Texas -- A senior associate dean in the UTA College of Nursing and Health Innovation played a chief role in developing the 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, which among other things, calls for quick action on the part of bystanders. Dr. Beth Mancini served as lead author of Part 3 of the AHA document and intimately understands the significance of CPR. It’s a painful lesson that she experienced as a child and the reason that she passionately advocates for CPR training worldwide. “We were at

UT Arlington bioengineer wants to use nanomedicine to treat peripheral artery disease

Researcher lands American Heart Association grantA UT Arlington associate professor is working with the American Heart Association on a new method that could use injected nanoparticles to recruit stem cells from the patient’s own blood to build needed stents in a patient’s failing blood vessels. Kytai Nguyen, a bioengineering associate professor, is working on the two-year, $140,000 grant to develop ways to more effectively treat peripheral artery disease, a malady that affects about 8 million Americans. “It’s a narrowing of the arteries that affects so many people. There isn’t a lot

American Heart Association grant to study heart disease at cellular level

A UT Arlington bioengineering professor has been awarded a $140,000 American Heart Association grant to study how physical and biological factors influence the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, a condition that can lead to heart disease. Kytai Nguyen, an associate professor of bioengineering associate professor, said a better understanding of how smooth muscle cells respond to changes in their environment could lead to a better understanding of how vascular disease develops. Movement of smooth muscle cells and their proliferation have been shown to play an important role in

UT Arlington associate dean gains national attention as part of defibrillation research team

A UT Arlington associate nursing dean is co-author of a new, nationally-noted paper that raises questions about the effectiveness of in-hospital use of automated external defibrillators, or AEDs. The findings from the research team that included UT Arlington professor Beth Mancini and other researchers say that while AEDs improve survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, similar use in a hospital setting does not lead to an improved rate of survival. The work is published in the Nov. 17, 2010 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, and is available online
