'Not enough over-50s' taking aspirin to prevent heart disease
Conclusion This study doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know. Aspirin has been used for many years to prevent heart attacks and strokes in people with cardiovascular disease. Aspirin's wider use is controversial, because of the potential side effects. What this study does add is an estimate of what might happen if all people in the US who were advised to take aspirin under US guidelines, actually did so. (The researchers say that 40% of men and 10% of women advised to take aspirin don't take it). The study assumes that people would get the same benefits as those seen in clinical trials of aspirin. This is u...

On National Wear Red Day, Let's Empower Women To Know Their Numbers To Help Reduce Heart Disease
Today is National Wear Red Day, an opportunity to splash this vibrant color into your wardrobe as a declaration of your support for women with heart disease and stroke. Doing so will link you in solidarity with Americans everywhere, including TV personalities across the networks and around the country. The tribute even extends to buildings and landmarks that will be bathed in red light. We hope each glimpse is a reminder of the toll that heart disease takes, not just on the victims but also on the survivors left without a mother or a daughter, a wife or a friend, a colleague or a neighbor, or any other key roles in our liv...

Walking ‘could save 37,000 lives a year’ report claims
The benefits of walking have been reported across the UK media. The BBC reports that “walking more 'would save thousands' of lives in the UK”. These stories have been prompted by the "Walking Works” report (PDF, 3.4MB). It provides an overview of current evidence on physical inactivity, and makes the case for encouraging more people to take up walking as a form of physical activity. It lays out that a large proportion of the population is not meeting physical activity guidelines and that if more people did so, this could potentially save 37,000 lives a year in England. It also discusses the specific benefits o...

The Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases, 1990–2010
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), principally ischemic heart disease and stroke, remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide and a major contributor to disability and rising healthcare costs . In 2010 alone, CVD was a primary cause of 15.6 million global deaths and an estimated US$863 billion in direct healthcare costs and productivity losses worldwide . In fact, these costs are projected to reach US$20 trillion by the year 2030 . In spite of this huge toll on global health and development, reports from the Institute of Medicine, the World Heart Federation, and the World Health Organization state that CVD is rarely on the...

The use of aspirin for primary and secondary prevention in venous thromboembolism and other cardiovascular disorders
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) includes a number of conditions such as myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, stroke, and venous thromboembolism. CVD is a leading health problem worldwide and a major cause of mortality, morbidity, and disability; it is also associated with high healthcare costs. The incidence of CVD is predicted to increase in the forthcoming years, and thus it is crucial that physicians are aware of the benefits and limitations of the available therapies to ensure patients receive optimized treatment.
