Alcohol, lipids and heart disease

Alcohol
J J Barboriak

Abstract

The attenuating effect of moderate amounts of alcohol on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has been reported by several groups of investigators at various geographic locations. At this time, the generally accepted explantation for this cardioprotective effect favors an increase in plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a factor inversely associated with the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Other variables potentially influencing the development of CHD such as a reduced tendency for blood coagulation and increased fibrinolytic activity has been enhanced by alcohol and may be considered as possible additional mechanisms for the cardioprotective effects of the agent. Because of its addictive potential, alcohol should not be considered for treatment of CHD.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
