Statins may act on an enzyme called endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which stimulates nitric oxide production. Increased nitric oxide has anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting effects...
Human resolvin E1 inhibits both the migration of inflammatory cells to sites of inflammation and the turning on of other inflammatory cells. Aspirin-triggered resolivins are made from omega-3 fatty acids by cellular enzymes. COX-2 inhibitors also inhibit

A major limitation of percutaneous therapy (PCI) for the treatment of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) is the inability to cross with a wire. We report successful recanalization of a CTO using Intraluminal Wire (tm)...
Martin Leon, M.D., a leading interventional cardiologist accused of leaking details of a major study weeks before its scheduled release, was barred today from taking part in next year's American College of Cardiology meeting.
