Treating obstructive sleep apnea, preventing heart attacks and strokes
Researchers in Brazil have found that treating patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) dramatically reduces early indications of atherosclerosis in just months, linking OSA directly to the hardening or narrowing of the arteries. Until now, no study has demonstrated such a direct... view more... (2007-09-28)
Cytomegalovirus exacerbates atherosclerosis through an autoimmune mechanism

Losartan Could Offer New Cardiovascular Benefit Beyond Blood-Pressure Control (pp 990, 999, 1004)
Two studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight the potential of the angiotensin-II type-1 receptor antagonist losartan to be more effective than ß-blockers in reducing cardiovascular complications associated with high blood pressure. Blood-pressure reduction achieved with ß -blockers and diuretics is the best form of treatment for... view more... (2002-03-20)
Drug-eluting stents more effective, equally as safe as bare metal stents in clinical trial
Late-breaking data from the HORIZONS AMI (Harmonizing Outcomes with RevascularIZatiON and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction) trial reveal that after one year, use of a drug-eluting (paclitaxel) stent demonstrated significantly reduced rates of target lesion revascularization (TLR) and binary angiographic restenosis when compared to the use of... view more...

Treatment failures occur with any drug and aspirin is no exception. Evidence is growing that some people will not respond to the anti-coagulant action of aspirin and the drug will not protect against cardiovascular events despite its regular intake. view more (2005-08-10)
Beta-blockers reduce mortality in patients with COPD after vascular surgery
In the first study to directly examine the effects of beta-blockers on surgical patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), researchers have found that, contrary to previous thought, beta-blockers significantly reduce mortality in COPD patients. view more (2008-10-01)
Statins Benefit Older People (pp 1618, 1623)
Elderly people at high risk of cardiovascular disease could benefit substantially by treatment with statins, cholesterol-lowering drugs with known effectiveness among middle-aged people at risk of heart disease and stroke, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. James Shepherd from the University of Glasgow, UK, and... view more... (2002-11-20)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use associated with higher gastrointestinal complications
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) provide a broad range of benefits for patients who require their use, but health care providers need to carefully consider the associated risks before prescribing these drugs for their patients, according to a multi-disciplinary panel of experts convened by the AGA Institute. view more (2006-09-21)

Dual renin system blocking drug combo provides additional blood pressure-lowering effects
A combination of two medicines that act against the effects of the enzyme renin are more effective in lowering blood pressure than either of the medicines alone, according to a study presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 56th Annual Scientific Session. view more (2007-03-27)
World Heart Day: Commission launches new research projects to combat cardiovascular disease
September 28 marked World Heart Day. The purpose was to raise awareness on risks and to promote opportunities for preventing heart disease. In the last four years, the European Commission has funded 24 projects in this field, with a contribution of EUR35.5 million. This will be a priority in the future as well, and the EU is about to launch two... view more... (2003-09-29)
Stress Is Founded To Be Associated With Hyperprolactinemia
A group of Italian investigators headed by Nicoletta Sonino (University of Padova) has performed the first controlled investigation on the relationship between stressful life events and an endocrine disease characterized by increased prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia).
