Provision of cardiovascular protection by ACE inhibitors is the cover story of the third issue of Cardio D magazine (we also call it Cardio Digest). We publish also the extended summary of the recent consensus document of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), covering this topic.
The other main story in the magazine is answering the question whether lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels below currently recommended guidelines yields incremental benefit. The article is based on the results from Treating to New Targets (TNT) trial.
We also offer a digest of results from dozens of studies reported during the Scientific Sessions of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2005.
Another interesting article is about the mechanism of action of omega-3 fatty acids in secondary prevention of post-myocardial infarction.
