Study shows benefits of anti-clotting medications reduced by common heartburn drugs
The anti-clotting action of the medication clopidogrel (Plavix) can be compromised by common drugs for the treatment of heartburn and ulcers resulting in a roughly 50% increase in the combined risk of hospitalization for heart attack, stroke and other serious cardiovascular illnesses. view more (2009-05-07)
Study reveals embolic neuroprotection system reduces risk of cardiac events
Results of a study on the use of the FiberNet® Embolic Protection System in carotid artery stenting were reported today during the 20th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). view more (2008-10-17)
Research Shows Prescribers Miss Possibly Dangerous Drug Interactions

Male Injecting-drug Users At Greater Risk Of Drug-related Death (p 941)
A study of injecting-drug users in Scotland in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how men-and all injectors over 34 years of age-have the highest drug-related mortality risk.
