A Review of Recent Research Reports on Coronary Heart Disease
By Patsy Hamilton
Much of the latest published research reports on coronary heart disease focus on treatment and the use of statin drugs to lower LDL cholesterol levels. The coronary heart disease research studies mentioned here focus primarily on causes and the need for prevention education, rather than treatment.
A number of scientific studies have focused on the relationship between heart disease and type-2 diabetes mellitus, sometimes referred to as adult onset diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes is a risk factor for developing heart disease. One recent study focused on the survival rate of patients with diabetes mellitus, who had already suffered one heart attack.
