The highlight of the evmng Cholesterol Drugs Flop Those drugs that are used widely for the control of cholesterol levels in the blood have been proven useless for patients who have already had a heart attack. This is the answer the National Heart & Lung In stitute (NHLI) got after investing $4O million in a 15- year study that followed the progress of 8,341 patients. Fifty-Five research clinics and other centers across the nation conducted the study, which established that the drugs clofibrate and niacin could not protect persons who have survived heart attacks The study did not, NHLI announced, answer the related question of whether the drugs may be beneficial for people with high cholesterol levels, but who have not had a heart attack So This Raises the scientific dilemma more strongly than ever: Is high cholesterol in the blood a symptom or a cause of heart disease 7 Researchers have pondered that one for years with no real answers. One prominent researcher has said, regarding any method of lowering cholesterol in the blood does not necessarily mean it leaves the body.

Hursh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council mechanism." So, we don’t really know the role of cholesterol in heart disease. Meanwhile, NHLI has another massive study under way that will take another five years to complete In it, scientists are studying the effects of controlling blood pressure, diet and smoking to see if all three of these factors can be manipulated to prevent or lessen heart disease. From this study we will not learn, for example, that diet, in itself, can be a factor in heart disease But we may learn that if you control all of the factors simultaneously you will be less at risk of heart disease.
