Statins could reduce stroke risk by a third (p 757)
Statins - drugs that lower LDL cholesterol -substantially reduce the incidence of ischaemic stroke among high-risk individuals, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Cholesterol lowering with statins is of known benefit for people at increased risk of heart attack. However, current treatment guidelines do not recommend... view more... (2004-03-03)

INEGY™ (Ezetimibe/Simvastatin) Receives First Approval in Europe
Merck & Co., Inc. and Schering-Plough Corporation today announced the regulatory approval of INEGY™ in Germany.

Germany is the first... view more... (2004-04-02)
Not enough 'good' cholesterol makes it harder to recover from stroke
People are at an increased risk of memory problems and greater disability after stroke if they have low levels of "good" cholesterol and high levels of homocysteine, an amino acid acquired mostly from eating meat. view more (2007-11-27)
U of I study: exercise to avoid gallstones!
A new University of Illinois study shows that exercise-trained mice get far fewer gallstones than sedentary mice and identifies potential mechanisms to explain why this occurs. view more (2008-02-14)
Study finds women less likely than men to have their cholesterol controlled
Women are significantly less likely than men to have their LDL cholesterol controlled to recommended levels, according to a new study by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). view more (2007-05-16)
Statins lower stroke severity, improve recovery
Mayo Clinic researchers have shown that patients who were taking statins before a stroke experienced better outcomes and recovery than patients who weren't on the drug - even when their cholesterol levels were ideal. The finding is reported in the current issue of the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases. view more (2009-02-27)
Red grapefruit appears to lower cholesterol, fight heart disease
In a controlled study group of patients with heart disease, the scientists found that feeding some patients the equivalent of one grapefruit daily significantly reduced levels of cholesterol in comparison to patients that did not eat grapefruit. view more (2006-02-09)
High cholesterol in midlife raises risk of late-life dementia, Kaiser Permanente study finds

Researchers study multi-purpose drug
Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center today announced that they have launched a study to determine whether an experimental drug, rimonabant, can slow atherosclerosis, the fatty build-up in arteries that creates heart attack risk. view more (2006-02-02)
Article analyzes relationship of apolipoprotein E genotypes with lipid levels and coronary risk
An analysis of previously published studies suggests that there are approximately linear relationships of apolipoprotein E genotypes with lipid levels and with coronary risk view more (2007-09-19)
Study verifies that cholesterol-associated gene variants can predict cardiovascular events
A study appearing in this week's New England Journal of Medicine confirms that a combination of gene variants previously associated with cholesterol levels does reflect patients' cholesterol levels and can signify increased risk of heart attack, stroke or sudden cardiac death. view more (2008-03-20)
