Mitochondrial function between the heart and skeletal muscles and biomarkers of Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic and devastating illness becoming an increasingly important burden on the health care system. Reduced exercise tolerance is an independent predictor of hospital readmission and mortality in patients with HF [1], and is thought to be a therapeutic target [2]. Although central factors such as ejection fraction (EF) or cardiacContinue reading “Mitochondrial function between the heart and skeletal muscles and biomarkers of Heart Failure”
Caffeine, post menopausal women and breast cancer gene
Consumption of caffeine and caffeinated beverages and foods was not statistically significantly associated with overall risk of breast cancer. The multivariable relative risks (RRs) of breast cancer were 1.02 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84–1.22) for caffeine (top vs. bottom quintile), 1.08 (95% CI, 0.89–1.30) for coffee (≥4 cups/day vs. almost never), and 1.03 (95% CI,Continue reading “Caffeine, post menopausal women and breast cancer gene”
Ibuprofen-like painkillers linked to an increased risk of heart failure
“Ibuprofen could raise the risk of heart failure by up to 83%,” claims the Daily Mirror. But this headline massively overstates the danger of this painkiller. In fact, new research suggests that taking painkillers known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – which includes ibuprofen – increases the risk of heart failure by less than 20% overall. NSAIDs are aContinue reading “Ibuprofen-like painkillers linked to an increased risk of heart failure”
Ethnic Differences in Cardiovascular Drug Response & Pharmacogenetics by Julie A. Johnson, PharmD
In the early 1980s, clinical differences in response to the blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects of β-blockers and, to a lesser extent, diuretics were noted between ethnic groups. The most convincing evidence at that time came from a Veterans Affairs (VA) Cooperative Trial,1 which, along with other smaller studies, suggested that whites (those of European ancestry)Continue reading “Ethnic Differences in Cardiovascular Drug Response & Pharmacogenetics by Julie A.

Stroke Risk Factors, take care of your heart and circulatory system
Stroke Risk Factors Anyone can have a stroke no matter your age, race or gender. But, the chances of having a stroke increase if a person has certain risk factors, or criteria that can cause a stroke. The good news is that up to 80 percent of strokes can be prevented, and the best wayContinue reading “Stroke Risk Factors, take care of your heart and circulatory system”
