Genes and environment important in families with history of high cholesterol
Risk of death varies significantly among patients with a family history of high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolaemia), with many untreated patients reaching a normal life span, finds a study in this week's BMJ. This suggests that strong interactions between genetic and environmental factors are involved in this disorder, and emphasises how... view more... (2001-04-24)
AGGRESSIVE LIPID-LOWERING THERAPY IS MORE EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING ATHEROSCLEROSIS (pp 574, 577)
The risk of atherosclerosis in people with high blood cholesterol could be reduced by aggressive lipid-lowering therapy, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. High LDL-cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) is a risk factor for atherosclerosis, which in turn is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Tineke Smilde... view more... (2001-02-21)
Gap widens between optimal versus actual cholesterol levels
An estimated 63 million adults have low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels higher than what would be ideal as recommended by the National Institutes of Health. view more (2006-02-06)
Children who learn heart healthy eating habits lower heart disease risk
A new study in a mid-August edition of Circulation: Journal of the America Heart Association confirms that when young children learn about heart healthy eating habits, it can strongly influence their heart disease risk later in life. view more (2007-09-12)
New research shows neuroprotective effect of lovastatin
High cholesterol levels are considered to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease including stroke. view more (2008-04-10)
UT Southwestern researchers pinpoint where 'bad' cholesterol levels are controlled
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that a protein responsible for regulating "bad" cholesterol in the blood works almost exclusively outside cells, providing clues for the development of therapies to block the protein's disruptive actions. view more (2009-04-17)
Statin therapy associated with regression of coronary atherosclerosis with key lipid level changes
An analysis of data from four clinical trials suggests that statin therapy is associated with regression of coronary atherosclerosis when low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C or "bad" cholesterol) is substantially reduced and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C or "good" cholesterol) is increased, but it remains... view more...

Fatostatin' is a turnoff for fat genes
A small molecule earlier found to have both anti-fat and anti-cancer abilities works as a literal turnoff for fat-making genes, according to a new report in the August 28th issue of the journal Chemistry and Biology, a Cell Press journal. view more (2009-08-28)
New Data Reinforces Greater Efficacy of Ezetimibe Together with Statin Therapy
Studies Demonstrate Greater Cholesterol Lowering Effect of Dual Inhibition of Two Sources of Cholesterol SEVILLE, SPAIN, 19 APRIL, 2004 -- Merck & Co., Inc. and Schering-Plough Corporation today announced results from studies presented at the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) conference in Seville. The results from these studies... view more... (2004-04-21)
Contribution of cholesterol transporter to vascular disease
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a transporter of cholesterol, may also contribute to vascular diseases by a previously unidentified mechanism, according to a report published online this week in EMBO reports. view more (2007-10-26)
Liver CRP production linked to atherosclerosis
New research shows that levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), produced by the liver and not at the lesion site, correlate with the degree of atherosclerosis. view more (2005-09-29)
People with diabetes may have all natural citrus supplement
Two new studies presented at the Experimental Biology Annual Meeting suggest that an all-natural dietary supplement made from citrus may help people with type 2 diabetes lower their blood glucose numbers after a meal and their LDL-cholesterol levels. view more (2008-04-09)
Concept pill could cut heart disease by more than 80%
A single pill could reduce heart attacks and strokes by more than 80%, conclude researchers in this week's BMJ. Heart attacks, stroke, and other preventable cardiovascular diseases currently kill or seriously affect half the population of Britain. Professors Nicholas Wald and Malcolm Law propose that a single pill containing six active components... view more... (2003-06-25)
Use of certain lipid measures not more effective in predicting coronary heart disease
The lipid measure apolipoprotein (apo) B: apo A-I ratio is not a better predictor of coronary heart disease risk than traditional lipid ratios that include total cholesterol and HDL-C, according to a study in the August 15 issue of JAMA. view more (2007-08-15)
A daily dose of pistachios offers potential heart health benefits
Adding to a growing body of evidence, new research shows that a daily dose of pistachios may offer protective benefits against cardiovascular disease. view more (2007-06-11)
New gene scanning technology marks a major advance in disease research

'Statins' linked to improved survival in kidney transplant recipients
For patients receiving kidney transplants, treatment with cholesterol-lowering "statin" drugs may lead to longer survival, reports a study in the November 2008 Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). view more (2008-07-24)
Damage inflicted during cardiac attacks more widespread than previously thought, MSU researchers find
Cholesterol crystals released in the bloodstream during a cardiac attack or stroke can damage artery linings much further away from the site of the attack, leaving survivors at greater risk than previously thought. view more (2008-11-12)
UCLA scientists uncover immune system's role in bone loss
Got high cholesterol? You might want to consider a bone density test. A new UCLA study sheds light on the link between high cholesterol and osteoporosis and identifies a new way that the body's immune cells play a role in bone loss. view more (2009-08-26)
