Abstract

Hyperlipidemic patients with coronary heart disease were treated with atorvastatin, and its effects on hemostatic and inflammatory parameters were assessed. After 3 months of therapy, the plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor, prothrombin fragment 1+2, highly sensitive C-reactive protein, von Willebrand factor, and fibrinogen were significantly reduced; no significant reductions were observed in lipoprotein(a) and tissue plasminogen activator antigen levels.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

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.

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.
