mmmmmmm. pizza, greasy cheeseburgers, fried sugar cubes with Bosco and ice cream, with a side order of Var, winny and tren.
if anyone has the full JAMA article, plz post. This is GREAT news.
Experimental treatment works like `liquid Drano' for coronary arteries.
according to other stories, it arose from the study of a group of people in city/town of Limone in Italy who ate like cavone's and didnt excercize and no one died of heart disease. turns out they had a mutant gene that caused them to produce a super-HDL. scientists then engineered a synthetic analogue. works like magic.
it's still experimental, but this is the future of (no) heart disease.
here is story:
------------------------
Following is advance for use after 4 p.m. EST. (Chicago-AP) -- A small study indicates a new drug can do for coronary arteries what drain cleaner does for drains.
The intravenous drug is a synthetic component of H-D-L -- the "good" cholesterol. H-D-L removes fatty buildups called plaque from the bloodstream.
In the study, 36 patients who had heart attacks or severe chest pain got weekly infusions for five weeks. At six weeks, they averaged a four percent reduction in plaque in their coronary arteries.
One researcher calls the drug "sort of liquid Drano for the coronary arteries." Another researcher says the study shows the concept is right. But he says larger and longer studies will be needed to check the drug's potential as a treatment.
The researchers are at the Cleveland Clinic.
The study is in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
