Aspirin reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, though effects differ between men and women
An analysis of previous studies indicates that use of aspirin significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in women and in men, due to reducing the risk of stroke in women and reducing the risk of heart attack in men. view more (2006-01-18)
Vitamins E and C supplements not effective for prevention of cardiovascular disease in men
Neither vitamin E nor vitamin C supplements reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events in a large, long-term study of male physicians, according to a study in the November 12 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-11-10)
Inflammation markers linked more with fatal than nonfatal cardiovascular events in elderly
A study published this week in the open access journal PLoS Medicine shows that for elderly people at risk of cardiovascular disease, the presence of inflammatory markers in the blood can identify that an individual is at a higher risk of a fatal rather than a non-fatal heart attack or stroke. view more (2009-06-23)
Antibiotics do not prevent recurrent myocardial infarcts in subjects with periodontitis
Periodontitis, an infection of the gingiva and tooth-supporting tissues, may influence the effectiveness of antibiotics used for the prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events. view more (2006-01-05)
High level of cardiac biomarker may help predict risk of CVD events in patients with heart disease
A blood test for patients with coronary heart disease could help predict their risk for subsequent cardiovascular events or death. view more (2007-01-10)
Further Evidence That Hrt Does Not Protect Against Cardiovascular Disease (p 2001)
Results of a UK randomised trial published in this week's issue of THE LANCET provides further evidence that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not offer women protection against cardiovascular disease. Previous observational studies have suggested that HRT could reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but results of randomised trials... view more... (2002-12-18)
Two-fold higher mortality from cardiovascular disease in older people with diabetes
Diabetes is on the rise, likely to affect twice as many people worldwide in 2030 as today, and a serious global health problem, because, despite available treatments, most people with diabetes develop serious long-term health problems. view more (2006-10-17)
Aspirin works for primary prevention in moderate and high risk diabetics
The beneficial effects of aspirin in primary prevention of cardiovascular events i.e. stroke, MI and cardiac death are known and generally accepted. view more (2009-08-31)
Ibuprofen puts high risk cardiac patients at risk
Doctors who treat the painful condition of osteoarthritis in patients with increased cardiovascular risk need to be cautious. A team lead by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, are the first to study outcomes in high cardiovascular risk patients with osteoarthritis. view more (2007-04-06)
High levels of lipoprotein(a) in women associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events
Women with extremely high levels of lipoprotein(a), particularly those with high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, have an increased risk for cardiovascular events. view more (2006-09-20)
Cogent trial shows lack of adverse interaction between clopidogrel and stomach medicine
Results from a late breaking clinical trial called COGENT demonstrate that the combination of giving patients clopidogrel, a blood thinner commonly prescribed to patients with cardiovascular disease, and stomach medicines such as omeprazole, known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), did not lead to adverse events, as some prior studies had suggested. view more (2009-09-25)
Women, Drinking to Their Health
Women see a slightly higher health benefit over men from alcohol consumption according to twelve separate studies reviewed in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. However, more studies are needed to determine if there are more significant results from either wine, other spirits or beer. view more (2005-01-31)
Is your heart aging faster than you are?
Despite the increasing evidence that managing high cholesterol reduces cardiovascular events, many people do not achieve recommended lipid levels. view more (2007-11-27)
New study re-evaluates cardiovascular risks of anti-inflammatory drugs
High doses of some traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are associated with similar cardiovascular risks as the new generation of anti-inflammatory drugs known as COX 2 inhibitors (like Vioxx ®), finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-06-02)
Statins Could Reduce Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease
The benefit of statins to prevent cardiovascular disease could extend to people receiving therapy for high blood pressure, conclude authors of an international study published in THE LANCET this week.1 Statins (a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs) are well known for their effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular risk. No study, however, has... view more... (2003-03-31)
Nicorandil Could Improve Outcome For Angina Patients
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the antianginal drug nicorandil could reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with angina. Angina occurs in 10% of men aged older than 60 years in the UK (10-15 years later in women), and is a common underlying cause of coronary heart disease (CHD). Aspirin,... view more... (2002-04-10)
Migraines with aura associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease
Women age 45 years or older who experience migraines with aura (associated neurologic symptoms such as temporary visual disturbances) are at a higher risk for heart attack, ischemic stroke, angina and death due to ischemic cardiovascular disease compared to women who do not report a migraine history. view more (2006-07-19)
New cardiovascular risk prediction models developed for women
Researchers have developed a more accurate way to predict the risk of developing cardiovascular disease among women. view more (2007-02-14)
Coronary imaging techniques helps to identify plaques likely to cause heart attacks
Late-breaking results from the PROSPECT clinical trial shed new light on the types of vulnerable plaque that are most likely to cause sudden, unexpected adverse cardiac events, and on the ability to identify them through imaging techniques before they occur. view more (2009-09-25)
Statins reduce risk of heart attack and stroke in those without heart disease
Among individuals without cardiovascular disease, taking statins regularly may reduce the risk of major heart and cerebrovascular events such as heart attack and stroke but not coronary heart disease or overall death. view more (2006-11-28)
