Treat heart disease with the cancer drug

REJEKINE. Ingredient or component makers of epilepsy drugs and cancer based on the latest data also capable as a therapy to treat and cure heart disease. The cause of heart disease in general according to experts is the occurrence of blood clots forming in one of the veins that drain nutrients and oxygen to the heart. The body has natural defense system to prevent blood clots that fibrinolytic system, which squirts a special enzyme to clot in order not to block the vessel.

however, in order to function properly, the system should require the enzyme in sufficient quantities and will be stored in the walls of blood vessels. But often times the enzyme is often depleted or lost because of heredity and bad lifestyle, such as hypertension, smoking, and obesity, and it will be the cause of the increased risk of heart attack is greater.

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have been looking for ways to stimulate the dissolution of the clot. The results were promising in the effort to find new ways to prevent heart attacks.

they say "We're trying to find drugs that can increase this enzyme so that it will help the body to prevent heart attacks," said Pia Larsson of the Sahlgrenska Academy that use HDAC inhibitors to stimulate the production of enzymes.

"We found that treatment with HDAC inhibitors dramatically increased the production of dissolving enzyme," Larsson said as quoted by sahlgrenska.gu.se when interviewing.
