Effects of a ‘healthy’ diet and of acute and long-term vitamin C on vascular function in healthy older subjects
TL;DR: A 'Mediterranean-type' diet rich in vitamin C improves vascular function in healthy older subjects, but neither acute intra-arterial nor sustained administration of oral vitamin C improved vascular function.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of multifactorial lifestyle interventions on cardiovascular risk factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of trials conducted in the general population and high risk groups.
TL;DR: Compared to a usual care, the multifactorial lifestyle intervention is able to lower the blood pressure, total cholesterol, BMI and waist circumference, at both 6 and 12months, and to increase physical activity at 12months.

Registration and management of smoking behaviour in patients with coronary heart disease. The EUROASPIRE survey.
TL;DR: In almost 20% of coronary patients, smoking habits are not documented in medical records, and in only 35% of the smoking patients is smoking status documented at the follow-up, indicating there is further potential to reduce the risk of recurrent coronary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atherogenesis and atherothrombosis--focus on diabetes mellitus.
TL;DR: The risk of macrovascular complications affecting the large conduit arteries markedly increases in patients with diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized world, magnifies the risk of cardiovascular events.
