Study suggests statins reduce cardiovascular risk for people with type 2 diabetes (p 641, 685)
Results of a randomised trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that people with type 2 diabetes could benefit from cholesterol-lowering therapy with statins to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease-even when they do not have high cholesterol concentrations. Many recent studies have shown the benefits of statin therapy to reduce the... view more... (2004-08-18)

Unexpected finding of molecule's dual role in mice may open new avenue to cholesterol reduction
Researchers have discovered an unknown regulator of fat and cholesterol production in the liver of mice, a significant finding that could lead to new therapies for lowering unhealthy blood levels of cholesterol and fats. view more (2008-06-13)
Dangerous duo: Hostility plus depression elevates risk for heart disease
Researchers led by Jesse Stewart, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, report that hostility and depression appear to act together in a complex way to elevate inflammatory proteins in the human body, possibly putting hostility plus depression on the list of risk factors for heart disease... view more...

One in five older British women has heart disease
One in five older British women has cardiovascular disease, including stroke or blocked arteries, which is higher than previously thought, finds research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. And the high prevalence of risk factors among them is not matched by levels of preventive treatment, shows the research. The findings are... view more... (2003-01-21)
