Osaka University researchers discover that taking tricaprin regularly in your diet leads to a reduction in coronary artery plaque and an improvement of symptoms for patients with triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy. As children, our parents encouraged us to take vitamins for growth and str
Triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy is a heart and blood vessel condition where plaque builds up in the arteries due to high levels of triglycerides in the blood. This buildup can lead to symptoms such as chest pain and difficulty breathing, and can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Coronary artery disease , which involves narrowing or even closing of the arteries of the heart and often leads to heart attack, is a major cause of death worldwide. Despite the existence of treatments such as cholesterol-lowering drugs and drug-eluting stents—a new stent technology for local drug delivery—death from this condition is still common, and some patients appear to be resistant to treatment.
“Now we report a remarkable regression of diffuse coronary atherosclerosis in two patients with TGCV,” states Ken-ichi Hirano. “Both had suffered from refractory chest pain and diabetes until diagnosis with TGCV, and subsequent dietary intake of tricaprin led to symptom relief.”
