Treatments for Heart disease

Treatments to consider for Heart disease may include:

• Aspirin - low-dose aspirin may be used to avoid heart attacks. However, because of side effects and risks it is not usually recommended for healthy individuals. Rather, mainly for those with existing heart problems or previous conditions.
• Digitalis - makes the heart pump harder, also helps some heart rhythm problems.
• ACE inhibitors
• Beta-blocker
• Nitrate (including nitroglycerine)
• Calcium-channel blocker (CCB)

Medical Research Breakthroughs and Heart disease

Lifespan can be extended: Scientists have created genetically modified mice that live 20% longer than normal.The US experiment raises hopes of a breakthrough in extending human lifespans, reports The Times.The new strain of mouse produces more of an antioxidant protein that limits tissue damage caused by highly reactive chemicals called free radicals.The research suggests age-related conditions such as heart disease could be tamed to help people to live substantially longer. It also indicates that stimulating the body's own production of antioxidants is likely to be more effective than using drugs, vitamins or other supplements.The study was led by Peter Rabinovitch, of the University of Washington School of Medicine, who said removing free radicals at source appeared to be the most promising way forward.
