Fri, 23 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

A new study found that secondhand smokers develop higher signs and symptoms of heart disease, attacks and strokes, adding to the link between "passive smoke" and heart disease. This study was published in Journal of the American Heart Association and calculated the level of cotinine in the blood of participants. Dr. Andrea Venn from University of Nottingham in Britain is the lead author of this new study. Dr Andrea said the study provides additional proof to suggest low-level exposure to secondhand smoke has a clinically important effect on susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. According to the American Heart Association (AHA) Cotinine is a chief pointer of nicotine intake and therefore exposure to tobacco smoke. The study also checked if participants exposed to secondhand smoke at home, work or other places had advanced levels of fibrinogen, homocysteine and C-reactive protein. The study tested results from America's third National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey which included around 7,599 adult people who had never smoked. The result of this survey is 18 percent of the participants had no noticeable levels of cotinine while the remainder had high or low levels. **End Summary** Topics: heart disease]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Heart Disease Symptoms

Vitamins May Not Prevent Heart Disease

Thu, 02 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500

According to a new study, taking some vitamins supplements like antioxidants does not appear to slow the upsurge of artery-clogging plaques that may cause heart disease or heart stroke. The evidence that vitamins do not stop heart attacks, heart strokes or deaths caused by heart disease is supported by studies of 16 clinical trails. However, clinical trails have failed in the recent years to apply the evidence on antioxidants like vitamin C and E and B vitamins, and researches found that these vitamins may offer some protection against heart disease. Moreover, there are some researches which found that supplements may be risky to heart health. Dr. Eliseo Guallar an associate professor of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in Baltimore said: I think (the outcomes of) those trials have been awesomely negative. Furthermore, some studies have argued that the vitamins may hold back the sequence of atherosclerosis -- the buildup of plaques on the artery walls that can in the end lead to heart stroke or attack. The miss of advantage against heart attacks and strokes strength, for example, be the outcome of starting the vitamins too late in the route of atherosclerosis. **End Summary** Topics: vitamins]]> heart disease]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Heart Disease

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0400

A recent medical research done by U.S. researchers showed that old people who have diabetes are twice as likely to die from heart disease as who do not have diabetes. The goal of the research was to find if diabetes makes old people die earlier more they would, and what position heart troubles affected death rates. Because heart disease is considered as the number one killer in the United States and some other developed countries. The study was done by Dr. Joshua Barzilay and some of his students of Kaiser Permanente in Georgia. The study which took 11 years involved around 6,000 who are older than 65 years. During the period of the study, more than 40 percent of the old elderly people died. However, between 50 and 60 percent of the deaths were related to heart disease problems. The results found that the contributors with diabetes were twice as likely to die from heart disease as the ones with no diabetes, but people with diabetes who used insulin injection were at more risk. The results were attuned for factors that are considered to affect heart disease risk like: Drinking alcohol, cholesterol levels and smoking. **End Summary** Topics: diabetes]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Heart Disease
