Saturated fat link with heart disease questioned
This article is one doctor's opinion based on his own knowledge, research and experience. However, it is fair to say there is an ongoing debate about how far cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease, especially in people who are otherwise healthy. There is also a similar debate about the use of statins in people who have no evidence of cardiovascular disease. This is alongside ongoing research into the components of LDL and the different types of lipoproteins known to increase risk the most. None of this relevant new evidence is covered by the news reporting.   What should you eat? There is no need to change curren...

Hyperandrogenic Oligomenorrhea and Metabolic Risks Across Menopausal Transition.
CONCLUSIONS: Longitudinal evidence suggests that a history of androgen excess and menstrual irregularity is not associated with worsening of metabolic health after menopause. Our findings challenge the notion that a history of concurrent HA and Oligo reflects ongoing cardiometabolic risk in postmenopausal women. PMID: 24517154 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Additive effect of the metabolic syndrome score to the conventional CHADS2 score for the thromboembolic risk stratification of patients with atrial fibrillation
Conclusions: We, for the first time, demonstrated that metabolic syndrome components were associated with thromboembolic risk in Taiwanese patients with AF. In addition to the conventional CHADS2 scheme, the calculation of the CHADS2-MS score provides additional information on stroke risk assessment.

Chronic hepatitis C virus infection and atherosclerosis: Clinical impact and mechanisms.
Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection represents a major health issue worldwide due to its burden of chronic liver disease and extrahepatic manifestations including cardiovascular diseases, which are associated with excess mortality. Analysis of published studies supports the view that HCV infection should be considered a risk factor for the development of carotid atherosclerosis, heart failure and stroke. In contrast, findings from studies addressing coronary artery disease and HCV have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, meta-analytic reviews and prospective studies are warranted. The pathogenic mechani...

The Efficacy of Fimasartan for Cardiovascular Events and Metabolic Syndrome (K-MetS Study): Rationale, Design and Participant Characteristics
Fimasartan, the eighth angiotensin receptor blocker, was launched in March 2011 and was found to have an excellent efficacy and safety profile in a large cross-sectional population study [Safety and Efficacy of Fimasartan in Patients with Arterial Hypertension (Safe-KanArb); Park et al.: Am J Cardiovasc Drugs 2013;13:47-56]. However, there is no long-term study to evaluate its efficacy for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and other effects. The purpose of this study (K-MetS study) was to evaluate whether the early reduction of blood pressure (BP) and/or correction of metabolic derangements with fimasartan will af...

Hypertension in diabetes: optimal pharmacotherapy.
Authors: Biswas A, Alvarez A, Mukherjee D Abstract Hypertension is commonly associated with diabetes mellitus. The combination of hypertension with obesity and diabetes is a well recognized entity known as the metabolic syndrome, which shares a common pathophysiology of insulin resistance. The individual components of this syndrome act synergistically to substantially increase the risk of renal disease, stroke, coronary artery disease, and death. Hypertension increases both macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes such as neuropathy, nephropathy, coronary artery disease, stroke, and retinopathy. He...

Yoga may help protect against heart disease
ConclusionOverall, this review suggests that yoga may be beneficial in reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.While these are encouraging findings, the authors also caution that these are based on trials with some limitations, including: There was a wide variation in the type of yoga practised, the frequency and the length of each session across the studies. This means it is difficult to say what the actual effects of each approach are, as the overall effects are just an average across all of these approaches. Some may have more of an effect and some may have less. The review does not rep...

This Vitamin Could Save Your Life
For years, I’ve recommended that my patients take a special family of super-nutrients with the power to boost their health and save their lives in at least a half a dozen ways. I’m talking about tocotrienols, an especially potent form of vitamin E. Tocotrienols, which comprise four out of the eight types of vitamin E, are powerful antioxidants that until recently were ignored by mainstream medicine. But the patients at my wellness clinic and regular readers of my newsletter will know that I’ve recommended them as a critical nutrient for years. And I do it because almost daily I observe the effects of the...

Cardiovascular risk stratification in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: the 2MACE score
Abstract Recent findings suggest that patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), in addition to having a high risk for ischemic stroke, are also at risk for myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of the study was to combine factors predicting Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) in AF patients, including fatal/nonfatal MI, cardiac revascularization, and cardiovascular death, into a simple risk score. Predictors of MACE were obtained from a prospective observational cohort study, including 1019 AF patients taking vitamin K antagonists from the Atherothrombosis Center, of Sapienza University of Rome. Th...

Rat models of cardiometabolic diseases: baseline clinical chemistries, and rationale for their use in examining air pollution health effects.
Authors: Kodavanti UP, Russell JC, Costa DL Abstract Individuals with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (CVD) are shown to be more susceptible to adverse health effects of pollutants. Rodent models of CVD are used for examining susceptibility variations. CVD models developed by selective inbreeding are shown to represent the etiology of human disease and metabolic dysfunction. The goal of this article was to review the origin and the pathobiological features of rat models of varying CVD with or without metabolic syndrome and healthy laboratory rat strains to allow better interpretation of the data regarding the...

Evidence to Consider Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer's Disease.
Abstract Alzheimer's disease is the most frequent type of dementia and diagnosed late in the progression of the illness when irreversible brain tissue loss has already occurred. For this reason, treatments have been ineffective. It is imperative to find novel therapies ameliorating modifiable risk factors (hypertension, stroke, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and traumatic brain injury) and effective against early pathogenic mechanisms including alterations in cerebral blood flow leading to poor oxygenation and decreased access to nutrients, impaired glucose metabolism, chronic inflammation, and glutamate excito...
