Understanding of the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure (CHF) has improved remarkably in recent years. However, despite better knowledge and novel pharmaceutical strategies, this disease is still one of the most brutal killers in the Western world. The pathophysiology of CHF is complex, and much of our comprehension revolves strictly around the neurohormonal and mechanical mechanisms…

The last three years have seen the application of percutaneous excimer laser atherectomy in patients sustaining acute myocardial infarction (AMI) gaining momentum. Current efforts in the US are concentrated toward identification of the best technologies for efficacious restoration of flow in the infarct-related vessel1 and toward shortening the time lag between the presentation of AMI patients to…

The goal of platelet function tests used in cardiac catheterization laboratories and intensive cardiac units is to guide antiplatelet therapy to the optimal dose for the prevention or treatment of thrombosis, minimizing hemorrhagic side effects in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).1–4 Platelet function tests measure the platelet capacity to…

Epidemiological studies indicate an inverse relationship between the consumption of fruits and vegetables, rich in polyphenolic compounds, and cardiovascular disease.2 These findings offer an explanation for the 'French Paradox™, the paradoxical observation that the French have a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease than Americans, despite having similar cardiac risk factors.3 The French…

The complications of atherosclerotic disease comprise the primary cause of mortality in the world today. Acute complications such as sudden cardiac death, myocardial infarction and stroke are typically due to the formation of a intra-arterial thrombus at the site of a rupture or erosion of an atherosclerotic lesion, with platelet activation and aggregation central to thrombus formation. Aspirin,…
