International study bolsters understanding of heart disease and stroke
New research from the European Heart Network finds that while heart disease deaths are decreasing, factors hint at a possible resurgence in the near future.
New research from the European Heart Network finds that while heart disease deaths are decreasing, factors hint at a possible resurgence in the near future. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused 48 percent of total deaths in Europe in 2008 (4.3 million deaths), lowering to 47 percent in 2011 (4 million deaths), the study found. According to Hans Stam, PhD, president of the European Heart Network, diabetes, obesity and smoking are still major causes for concern, and the results of the study, though positive, should be taken with a grain of low-sodium salt. The study follows in the footsteps of a recent decision by global governments to lower the risk of non-communicable diseases, including CVD, by employing global task forces to target the 10 most prominent global diseases. Lifestyle effects This far-reaching mission highlights the known benefits of healthy lifestyle changes for those who buy Lipitor or other pharmaceuticals to help treat CVD. Many such medications are available at Canadian and international pharmacies for reduced price. Global impact Stem cell therapy researchers have made strides recently in discovering potential ways of re-growing damaged organ tissues and possibly reversing some of the effects of ailments such as CVD. Published in the journal Cell, the results of a recent study point in particular to the potential for "repackaging" stem cells to form into regenerative tissues that could help patients with CVD and congenital heart defects. |
