Blood vessels are a closed system that carry blood from the heart to
the tissues and back to the heart, the flow of blood is forced by
pumping power of the heart.
Successful treatment of vascular disorders requires a thorough
understanding of the cardiovascular therapies, including nutritional
and other lifestyle approaches as well as drug regimens. In this
website I will focus on the principal therapy of some types of
antihypertensive drugs, so we need to understand the principal
physiology and Pathophysiology of the disease conditions we are
interest in. These conditions include angina pectoris, coronary heart
diseases, Raynaud's syndrome, migraine disorder, arrhythmia and
other related diseases.

In healthiest women, 92% decreased risk of MI

pharmacologic therapies, "diet and lifestyle largely influence
morbidity and mortality in CHD."

| Whole grains cut heart failure US doctors writing in the same issue report that a high intake of whole-grain breakfast cereals is associated with a lower risk of heart failure (HF) in 21,376 men participating in the Physician's Health Study I [2]. Dr Luc Djoussé (Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA) and colleagues say, "To our knowledge, this is the first study to prospectively examine the relation between breakfast-cereal consumption and the risk of HF in a large cohort." |
| Nov. 11, 2005 - An ingredient found in olive oil may be largely responsible for the heart-healthy benefits attributed to the Mediterranean diet, according to a new study. Researchers tested the effects of eating a meal of olive oil and bread and found people's blood vessels appeared healthier after eating olive oil rich in phenolic compounds. Phenolics are plant-based compounds that are believed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticlotting properties and are found in higher concentrations in less processed oils. Researchers say their results suggest virgin olive oil may be better for the heart than seed oils because it is a natural juice that does not go through the processing needed to extract oil from seeds, such as sunflowers and soybeans. Therefore, the oil retains more of its original nutrients. "It could be that the beneficial effect of the Mediterranean diet on cardiovascular disease and arteriosclerosis depends on the synergistic effects of the different nutrients that constitute complete foods and, as an example, virgin olive oil is more than fat because it is a real juice with other healthy micronutrients," says researcher Francisco Prez Jimnez, MD, PhD, from the Reina Sofia University Hospital in Crdoba, Spain, in a news release. |
| Another study, which appears in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers compared the effects on blood vessel function of eating virgin olive oil high in phenolics and olive oil that had been stripped of most of its phenolics. On different days, 21 otherwise healthy adults with high cholesterol ate a breakfast of white bread and 40 milliliters (a little more than 2.5 tablespoons) of each of the olive oils. During the next four hours, researchers took blood samples and monitored the participants' blood flow. The results showed that the functioning of the inner lining of the small blood vessels of the fingers of the participants and the concentration of certain healthy components in the blood, such as nitric oxide, improved after the breakfast of high-phenolic olive oil. But no such changes were found after the low-phenolic meal |
