Crestor (Rosuvastatin) and Heart Problems There has been controversy surrounding the safety of Crestor (rosuvastatin). Crestor belongs to a class of medications known as statins, which are designed to lower cholesterol levels. Data has suggested that Crestor and other statins might increase a person's risk of certain heart problems, including cardiomyopathy and heart failure. The increased risk of heart failure and cardiomyopathy is thought to be linked to a depletion of coenzyme Q10 levels. The depletion of coenzyme Q10 has been linked to an increased severity of heart failure. It is believed that statins deplete this nutrient, which might result in an increased risk of heart failure in certain patients. Heart Failure Information Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, means the heart is unable to pump the right amount of blood the body needs. There are two different types of heart failure: - Acute heart failure, which comes on suddenly - Chronic heart failure, which refers to an ongoing condition Patients with either form of heart failure will experience similar symptoms, but those with acute heart failure will have more severe symptoms that come on suddenly. The most common symptoms of heart failure include: - Unexplained weakness and fatigue - Shortness of breath - Swelling of the legs, ankles and feet - Swelling in the stomach - Sudden weight gain (water retention) - Nausea - Lack of appetite - Concentration problems - Rapid, irregular heartbeat - Inability to exercise If you are taking Crestor and begin to experience any of these symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately. Complications associated with heart failure include: - Liver damage - Kidney failure - Heart attack - Stroke - Heart valve problems Heart failure is a life threatening condition. Symptoms can be controlled with proper treatment. In more severe cases, patients will require heart transplantation.

Srce voli malo alkohola Jedna čaša vina dnevno dokazano smanjuje rizik za zatajenje srca za prilično velikih 20 posto muškarcima, pa evo isprike za ljubitelje alkohola Tjedna konzumacija do 100 grama alkohola (7 malih čaša vina odnosno ekvivalentne količine piva ili žestokih pića) kod muškaraca povezana s prosječno 20% manjim rizikom za zatajenje srca, pokazalo je istraživanje provedeno na gotovo 15 tisuća ljudi. Sudionici istraživanja su praćeni 25 godina, a kod žena koje su umjereno konzumirale alkohol je rizik za zatajenje srca bio prosječno 16% manji. Inače, procjenjuje se kako od zatajenja srca pati čak 23 milijuna ljudi u svijetu.. Zatajenje srca je poremećaj kod kojeg srce gubi sposobnost djelotvornog pumpanja krvi, čime ne uspijeva zadovoljiti potrebe organizma. Ovaj poremećaj može zahvatiti desnu, lijevu ili obje strane srca. Zbog smanjene sposobnosti srca kao pumpe, može doći do zastoja krvi u drugim dijelovima tijela, kao što su jetra, probavni trakt i ekstremiteti (zatajenje desne strane srca) ili u plućima (zatajenje lijeve strane srca). Strukturalni i funkcionalni uzroci zatajenja srca uključuju visok krvni tlak, bolest srčanih zalistaka, prirođene bolesti srca, kardiomiopatiju i druge bolesti srca.
