High dose of folic acid supplementation after acute myocardial function was found to improve endothelial dysfunction. The supplementation with folic acid may protect against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in otherwise healthy, overweight individuals.Monday, August 20, 2007978f66ce-560a-4e11-ae6c-259048100439http://www.abcvitaminslife.com/HealthFacts/Article424.aspxThe action mechanism of Omega-3 fatty acid on other components of the blood coagulation system still cannot be exhaustively explained. Available are facts such as Omega-3 Fatty acid's ability to decrease the concentration of fibrinogen which leads to the activation of blood clot formation. The cholesterol-lowering ability of fish oil involves the suppression of very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL) synthesis; it also improves VLDL clearance and increases the excretion of bile.Wednesday, June 27, 2007978f66ce-560a-4e11-ae6c-259048100424http://www.abcvitaminslife.com/HealthFacts/Article408.aspxReview of the studies which proved the positive effects of the various vitamins and supplements to support cardiovascular system and fight endothelial dysfunction and congestive heart failure.Thursday, June 21, 2007978f66ce-560a-4e11-ae6c-259048100408http://www.abcvitaminslife.com/HealthFacts/Article397.aspxPomegranates possess significant antioxidant properties deriving from components such as polyphenolics, tannins, and anthocyanins.

According to multiple studies fibrinogen levels are a very powerful predictor of the risk to develop stroke and heart disease and to have a myocardial infarction. In addition, there is increased risk of developing venous blood clots symptoms when fibrinogen levels are high. According to one study, "fibrinogen levels were the only independent predictor of mortality."Monday, March 05, 2007978f66ce-560a-4e11-ae6c-259048100310http://www.abcvitaminslife.com/HealthFacts/Article307.aspxThe endothelium is the thin barrier that separates circulating blood from the smooth muscle interior of the artery. Healthy endothelial cells help to maintain a normal cardiovascular system. Aging, poor lifestyle habits and nutrition can lead to endothelial problems. Propionyl-L-Carnitine plays an important role in protecting the function and health of endothelial cells. PLC passes across the mitochondrial membrane to supply Carnitine directly to the energy-producing organelles of all cells.Wednesday, January 24, 2007978f66ce-560a-4e11-ae6c-259048100307http://www.abcvitaminslife.com/HealthFacts/Article305.aspxA controlled human study was conducted involving patients with severe carotid artery narrowing (stenosis).
