Homocysteine-Its Destructive Role in Cardiovascular, Cognitive and Bone Hea
2008-11-06 18:28:00 Homocysteine is one of the most destructive compounds found in the human body. Although oxidized LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol) is commonly considered the arteries’ worst enemy, homocysteine has emerged as an equally powerful threat to heart health. In fact, research now shows that damage from homocysteine paves the way for LDL to have an even more destructive effect on the vascular system, indicating these two agents can work together to cause heart disease. Furthermore, as time goes on, more and more research is uncovering homocysteine’s role in other health conditions such as infertility, depression, cognitive decline and bone fractures.Homocysteine is considered a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease including stroke and deep vein thrombosis.1 Elevated blood levels of homocysteine also are considered an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and thromboembolism (the obstruction of a blood vessel by a clot), and are correlated with a significant ri...

Cardiovascular system
2008-04-05 05:57:00 The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart, arteries, veins, and lymphatics, which transport life-supporting oxygen and nutrients to cells, remove metabolic waste products, and carry hormones from one part of the body to another.Myocardial function• Increase in oxygen demand must be met by increase in oxygen supply.• Blood normally flows in one direction across heart valves.• Pressure gradient causes the valves to open and close. Response to blood pressure drop• Heart rate increases.• Force of contraction increases.• Arterioles constrict.Response to blood pressure increase• Heart rate decreases.• Force of contraction decreases.• Vasodilation occurs. How cardiac disorders develop• Abdominal aneurysm — an abnormal dilation in the arterial wall that occurs in the aorta between the renal arteries and the iliac branches.• Cardiogenic shock — a condition of diminished cardiac output that severely impairs tissue perfusion as well as oxygen delivery to the t...

Study shows indicator for cardiovascular events
2008-03-24 22:39:00 Gene panels may someday identify patients needing more intense monitoring, treatment A study appearing in this week?s (March 19) New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) confirms that a combination of gene variants previously associated with cholesterol levels does reflect patients? cholesterol levels and can signify increased risk of heart attack, stroke, or sudden cardiac death. Led by researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) cardiology division, the study?s findings are a first step toward the ability to identify individuals who might benefit from earlier use of cholesterol-lowering medications and other measures to combat elevated risk. ?The prospect of personalized medicine has received much hype, but until recently, there has been little hard evidence to support the promise,? says Sekar Kathiresan, MGH director of preventive cardiology, the paper?s lead author. ?We feel that our data provides two insights. First, we provide a foundation for the possibility t...

Cardiovascular Risk with Haloperidol
2007-09-18 17:35:00 Johnson and Johnson and FDA informed healthcare professionals that the WARNINGS section of the prescribing information for haloperidol has been revised to include a new Cardiovascular subsection regarding cases of sudden death, QT prolongation and Torsades de Pointes(TdP) in patients treated with haloperidol, especially when given intravenously, or at doses higher than recommended. Although injectable haloperidol is only approved by the FDA for intramuscular injection, there is considerable evidence that the intravenous administration of haloperidol is a relatively common off-label clinical practice. There are at least 28 case reports of QT prolongation and TdP, some with fatal outcome in the context of off-label intravenous haloperidol. Healthcare professionals should consider this new risk information when making individual treatment decisions for their patients.Source: http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/In-foSheets/HCP/haloperidol.htm

This association is not correlation to smoking, respiratory diseases or obesity. The New Zealand scientists took measurements of lung capacity and inflammation in 1,000 adults aged between 26 and 32 years. To measure inflammation, they looked at the amount of C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, circulating in the blood. Higher levels of CRP were found in the blood of those with smaller lung capacities........
