Coronary heart research needs

Hence, it appears that hormone replacement can play a role in modifying certain risk factors associated with coronary heart disease in postmenopausal women, but the actual outcomes (heart attack, death) do not seem to be affected significantly by these hormonal interventions. Clearly, continued research in this area is needed to clarify if hormone replacement therapy can help decrease cardiac morbidity and mortality in certain postmenopausal women.60,121... [Pg.446]

The widespread application suffers from improving but stiU insufficient temporal resolution. Most researchers therefore agree that a reduction in heart rate to lengthen the rest phase of the coronary tree is needed, even using the latest editions of scanner technology. [Pg.208]

The Medical Research Council/British Heart Foundation study controlled the activity of antioxidants in the protection of a large group of patients (10,629) suffering from coronary disease who were treated daily with vitamin supplementation (vitamin E 600 mg, vitamin C 250 mg, and /3-carotene 20 mg). Similar high dosages were used in Age-Related Eye Disease Study (vitamin E 400 Ul, vitamin C 500mg, and /3-carotene 15 mg). In both studies the results were not positive. In these last two studies as in any of the studies reported in Table 9 the OS was measured to determine the real need of an antioxidant therapy. [Pg.232]
