Blueberry derivative may lower hypertension risk Posted: 18 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST Individuals who consume more than one serving of blueberries per week may have a 10% lower risk for hypertension than those who consume no weekly servings of the fruit, study results suggest.

Uncoverage, malapposition more likely with paclitaxel-eluting than bare metal stents Posted: 18 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention using paclitaxel-eluting stents have a higher 13-month risk for stent strut malapposition and uncoverage than those who receive bare metal stents, results from a HORIZONS-AMI substudy indicate.
