These data were presented today at the American Heart Association 2009 Scientific Sessions. The OPTIMUS-3 study, which evaluated 35 patients with type 2 diabetes who also had CAD and were taking aspirin, showed that within four hours, the level of platelet inhibition as ... Read Full Story

More than one million Americans suffer heart attacks each year and this figure is some 460,000 annual deaths. And dies 50% of these deaths one hours after onset of symptoms of heart attack and were not able to do it in the clinic. This is evidence enough to prove that Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death among Americans.The heart is constantly pumping nutrient-rich blood and oxygen to Mainstream, the blood supply.

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Aspirin alone proved as effective as aspirin plus the blood clot preventer Plavix in keeping coronary artery bypass grafts open during the first year after surgery, according to a study released on Monday. The study was designed to see if the addition of Plavix -- already a $9 billion a year seller for Bristol-Myers Squibb Co and Sanofi Aventis -- to standard aspirin therapy would help further reduce vein narrowing or blockages after coronary artery bypass surgery. "We found no significant difference in the amount of vein graft thickening, or the number of blocked bypasses, cardiovascular events or bleeding events ... Read Full Story

If you're among the hundreds of thousands of Americans with clogged kidney arteries, you might want to consider trying medicines before rushing into angioplasty to open them up. The pricey procedure is no more effective and carries surprisingly big risks, a study found. The National Kidney Foundation estimates more than 250,000 Americans have narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys. It's usually caused by a buildup of fatty plaque, mostly in folks 50 or older, and can result in high blood pressure and, sometimes, kidney failure. Each year, about one in six patients with the condition dies. About 16 percent of ... Read Full Story

Background: The increasing understanding of atherosclerosis as an important risk factor for the development of acute ischemic events like ischemic stroke has stimulated increasing interest in non-invasive assessment of the structure, composition and burden of plaque depositions in the carotid artery wall. Vessel wall imaging by means of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is conventionally done by 2D dual inversion recovery (DIR...
