Antioxidants found in red wine could treat heart disease

The antioxidants found in red wine could be used to treat people with heart disease, a professor has claimed. 

Cardiovascular disease affects around seven million people in a country, causing over a quarter of deaths every year according to the researchers.

Cardiovascular disease refers to coronary heart disease, angina, heart attacks, congenital disease and strokes, all of which can be managed with treatment.

A Prof. , believes she may have found a way to use the antioxidant found in red wine to help people who are suffering from heart disease. 

This isn’t the only recent instance of scientists lauding the benefits of alcohol.

A new study states that drinking small amounts of alcohol can boost the brain's ability to remove waste, thus providing it with an efficient clean.

Contrarily, the Prof. isn’t advising that people drink more red wine in order to treat heart disease, but rather that incorporating the antioxidants found in red wine into a coronary angioplasty procedure could prove beneficial for heart disease sufferers. 

A coronary angioplasty is a procedure in which blocked or narrowed coronary arteries are widened.
Surgeons do this by inserting and inflating a small balloon into the artery, which frequently involves inserting a stent into the blood vessel.

The Prof. noted that commercial stents can often cause the artery to narrow again afterwards, which is why she’s working on a new type of stent that doesn’t prove harmful in the long run.

The advantages of the antioxidant in red wine  have been noted previously. However, the Prof. has discovered a new way to utilise them.  

The Prof. is currently in the process of developing a new stent that releases two antioxidant compounds that are found in red wine into the blood: resveratrol and quercetin.  

Doing so will promote healing, prevent further blood clotting and reduce inflammation.

“By delivering red wine antioxidants during conventional angioplasty, it may be possible to prevent excess tissue from building up and the blood vessel from narrowing again as it heals,” the Prof. explained
