Pantethine to the Rescue

Following a heart attack or a stroke, a low oxygen situation follows (tissue hypoxia) wherein massive free radical damage ensues, driving the severity of the problem. If free radicals could be stopped then damage would be reduced. Researchers looking into this issue came upon a new finding. Activation of the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase reduced heart attack damage in an experimental model by 60%.

Traffic Pollution Increases Heart Attack Risk

A new German study presented at the American Heart Association’s 49th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention found that in patients who had just had a heart attack they were more then three times as likely to have been in traffic within an hour of the onset of their heart attack.

Regular Multiple Vitamin Use Reduces Risk of Heart Attack by 41%

A new Swedish study followed 31,671 women ages 49 – 83 for 10 years, evaluating the use of a multiple vitamin and the risk for a first heart attack. The women who consistently used a multiple vitamin for greater than five years had a 41% risk reduction for a heart attack, compared to women who did not take a multiple vitamin.

How Exercise Protects You from a Heart Attack

Researchers from Emory University School of Medicine, University of Colorado at Boulder, and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine decided to try to figure out exactly how exercise benefits the heart, and why humans who exercise and have a heart attack have improved survival compared to non-exercisers.
