Arterial function improved cocoa ingredients and maintain vascular aging
22 young men older (under 35 years) and 20 subjects between 50 and 80 years received two weeks twice daily either a Kakaoflavonol-rich (450 mg) or a Kakaoflavonol-drink.

Well over one-third (41,67%) does not follow the recommendation on the matter and disobeyed the ban occasionally or regularly. This is the result of a recent study by the University Heart Center Hamburg, which. On the 80 Annual Meeting of the German Cardiac Society (DGK) was presented. In the Congress Center Rosengarten Mannheim days of 23. to 26. April 8.500 25 cardiologists countries. "Evidently it must be even more it dismissed talks and the medical report that the issue driving ban here a higher value gets," said study author Dr. Friederike Hartel. Even better documentation is needed from medical-forensic point of view.
The researchers had the data from 4.918 men analyzed after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or bypass surgery completed a cardiac rehabilitation program. The analyzed risk factors were diabetes, hypertension, excessive blood lipids, smoking and a family history. The results showed that 24 percent of patients have a BMI of more than 30 had. There was a linear relationship between BMI and waist circumference with diabetes and hypertension, but not with smoking and a family history.
As products like Becel pro.activ lie next ordinary margarine on the supermarket shelf, they are consumed by many consumers who do not even know their cholesterol levels and therefore operate self-medication without medical findings. Here is Becel pro.activ added with plant sterols a highly concentrated and controversial drug. Even children doctoring thus unnecessarily uncontrollably at their blood values around. The EU Regulation requires Unilever now to the warning that Becel "is not intended for persons who do not need to control their blood cholesterol" pro.activ.
The relationship between noise exposure, particularly high noise intensities, and cardiovascular disease is known from previous studies. Scientists led by Ute Kraus of the Working Group, Environmental Risks', under the direction of Dr. Alexandra Schneider at the Institute of Epidemiology II (EPI II) at Helmholtz Zentrum München (HMGU) have now investigated the consequences of our daily soundscape and discovered that this holds also health risks.
"Electronic noses" (enose) are used to identify patterns of chemical compounds in the exhaled air and to recognize in this way diseases or to differentiate between them. In the Munich study found an electronic nose used, in which the breathing air is analyzed by 32 polymer sensors based on metal.
"Note the complex interaction between the depression and the HI-symptoms," said PD Müller-Tash. "So a depressive coping with pronounced HI symptoms as a possible exaggeration of symptom descriptions due to the depressive mood appears just as plausible." Currently, it is investigated whether the differences of depression incidence between the examined groups of patients affect the disease prognosis.
Rheumatoid arthritis, also known as rheumatoid arthritis, is one of the autoimmune diseases in which the body's own defenses attack its own healthy tissue. The attack is indeed primarily directed against the bone. However, it accompanies an inflammatory response throughout the body that pulls the blood vessels affected. "Therefore, heart attacks and strokes occur twice as common in people suffering from rheumatism to like in the rest of the population," says Professor Dr. med. Ulf Müller-Ladner, chief physician at the Kerckhoff Clinic in Bad Nauheim. The risk of heart attack of rheumatic patients is as high as diabetics.
During the investigation, 2.635 people in Berlin, Marburg, Hannover and Göttingen were interviewed. More than 60 percent of respondents were able to answer questions of cause, symptoms and treatment of heart failure properly and knew about preventive measures such as balanced nutrition, exercise or quit smoking Opinion. 44 percent of respondents were affected directly or indirectly through relatives or friends of heart failure. However, the investigation also shows a number of common misunderstandings: Every fifth respondent believed falsely, heart failure would regress spontaneously within one month. Less than a third of the study participants knew that the mortality in heart failure is similar to many forms of cancer. The most important information sources for health information in general and those for heart disease, respondents named newspapers and magazines (52 percent), radio and TV (50 percent), followed by the general practitioner (40 percent). Whether other information are used, it is not apparent from the study summary.
In the study 77 hypertensive patients were studied. 10 percent showed the frame of post-traumatic stress disorder, which is significantly more than in the general population, more 12 percent met criteria for partial posttraumatic stress disorder. Overall 22 percent of the patients were clinically meaningful charged with the aftermath of a traumatic event.
Nicotine promotes the formation of metabolites altered so altered metabolites which are harmful in elevated concentrations. If omitted nicotine, the concentrations of these metabolites are significantly declining. These results are consistent with the prior knowledge that the risk for cardiovascular disease, such. As heart attack decreases when smoking is given up. Scientists at the Department of Molecular Epidemiology (AME), the Institute of Experimental Genetics (IEG) and the Institute of Epidemiology II (EPI II) at Helmholtz Zentrum München evaluated over 1.200 blood samples of the population-based research platform KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Augsburg Region) that you mapped smokers, non-smokers and ex-smokers. In addition, control values and smoking status were raised again after seven years.
