What is the Polypill?

Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the Polypill. The Polypill is being developed in response to an important reality surrounding cardiovascular disease. There are three important drugs that can help prevent heart disease (statins, ACE inhibitors, and aspirin). These drugs are not taken for two major reasons. First, the drugs are simply too expensive for much of the world, including countries as developed as Russia. And secondly, in developed nations where the drugs are affordable patients too often fail to comply - after three years 70% of patients do not take the medications as prescribed.

Women, Obesity Rates, and the Fountain of Youth

The fattening of America is so out there, so obvious, the question has become how do we get the message that we need to reverse the trend? Perhaps, the message is sinking in, at least among women.

Sudden Death Predictor

Sudden cardiac death is one of the leading causes of mortality in America. Now, new research points to a way to identify those most at risk--and it involves a simple exercise test. The frustration lies in the name of the problem. Sudden cardiac death is sudden because it's typically the first sign or symptom that an individual has a heart problem. And, often, sadly, it's the last.

It is the largest artery in the body and plays a critical role in the circulation of blood flow, transporting oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body. When tears occur in the lining of the aorta they are called as dissections, while weakenings in the aortic wall are called aneurysms. Although both conditions have the potential to be life endangering, they can be effectively treated by the qualified doctors with years of experience.
