Exercise can cut coronary artery disease risk for some with MS

Results of a new study suggest that people with mild to moderate MS are capable of improving their aerobic fitness levels similar to their non-MS counterparts. While physical inactivity may predispose MS patients to have increased coronary artery disease risk, MS-related symptoms don't preclude this group from potentially reducing their risk factors through exercise.

   Scientists have moved a step closer to understanding how our genetic make-up can lead us to develop heart disease and to predicting who is most at risk. In a study published today, they have confirmed six new genetic variants that increase the likelihood of developing coronary artery disease.

   01-30-2008 · EurekAlert!
   More than 13 million Americans have survived a heart attack or have been diagnosed with coronary heart disease, the number one cause of death in the United States. In addition to medications, lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and exercise, are known to reduce the risk for subsequent cardiac events. Despite this evidence, a high proportion of heart attack survivors do not follow their doctor's advice to adhere to a healthy diet.

5. Single genetic defect causes early heart disease
   03-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A team of researchers from the United States and Iran has identified a genetic mutation that causes early onset coronary artery disease in members of a large Iranian family. The genetic mutation leads to heart disease by causing high blood pressure, high blood levels of "bad cholesterol" and diabetes, all risk factors for heart disease. Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.

8. New genetic variants associated with lipid levels, risk for coronary artery disease
   01-13-2008 · EurekAlert!
   In research supported primarily by the National Institutes of Health, scientists have discovered more than 25 genetic variants in 18 genes connected to cholesterol and lipid levels. Seven of the 18 genes previously had not been connected, while the 11 others confirm previous discoveries. The study will appear online Jan. 13 in Nature Genetics. These variants potentially open the door to strategies for the treatment and prevention of CAD.

9. Warning over heart patients denied most appropriate treatment
   03-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Thousands of patients with heart disease may be denied the best chance of survival because of uncertainty over the most suitable treatment option, warns a cardiac surgeon in this week's BMJ.Coronary artery disease occurs when artery walls become thickened by fatty deposits, leading to an inadequate blood supply to the heart. A procedure called 'revascularisation' improves blood flow and reduces the risk of death. There are two ways this can be done -- by stenting or bypass surgery.

10. Drug-eluting and bare-metal stents equal in risk of blood clots, heart attacks and death
    03-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Although the use of stents to treat coronary artery disease has soared during the past decade thanks to novel equipment and new implant techniques, clinical data has recently raised concerns around the safety of drug-eluting stents (DES) and their risk of post-procedure complications. A study presented today at the American College of Cardiology’s Innovation in Intervention: i2 Summit compared rates of complications in thousands of patients who received bare-metal stents (BMS) or DES.
