Even though there have been major advances in therapy, atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease retain their lead as one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the first decade of 21(st) century. To add to the woes, we have diabetes, obesity and insulin resistance as the other causes.
BACKGROUND
Piper wallichii (Miq.) Hand.-Mazz. is a medicinal plant used widely for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory diseases, cerebral infarction and angina in China. Previous study showed that lignans and neolignans from Piper spp. had potential inhibitory activities on platelet
The aim of this study was to assess long-term drug adherence and prognosis in real-world patients discharged on dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A retrospective cohort analysis using administrative databases kept by eight local health units was performed.
The purpose of the present study was to test whether kava extract and its constituents kawain, dihydrokawain, methysticin, dihydromethysticin and yangonin provide protection against ischemic brain damage. To this end, we used a model of focal cerebral ischemia in mice and rats. Ischemia was induced
The present study was designed to investigate the cardioprotective potential of Piper betle (P. betle) against isoproterenol (ISP)-induced myocardial infarction in rats. Rats were randomly divided into eight groups viz. control, ISP, P. betle (75, 150, and 300 mg/kg) and P. betle (75, 150, and 300
Dichloromethane fraction (DF) of Piper nigrum L. and P. longum L. (PnL and PlL), has been found to exert a protective effect against ischemic stroke in rats. However, the regulatory mechanism exerted by PnL and PIL have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we found that DF greatly ameliorated
The aim of the study was to assess all-cause mortality and cardiovascular (CV) events in patients after a period of 12 months of treatment with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a real-world setting. Health care costs for Long pepper (Piper longum L.) and black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) plants are commonly used as spices around the world and have also been postulated to have medicinal effects. Piperine, as the major alkaloid of P. nigrum and P. longum, has gained wide attention of the
Alexion and Procter & Gamble (P&G) are developing pexelizumab (h5G1.1-SC), a short-acting, recombinant complement C5 inhibitor for the potential treatment of complications of cardiovascular surgery, such as complement activation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures, for which it has
