After seven to 12 days of treatment, the in­cidence of venous thromboembolism (measured by central adjudication) was 19% in pa­tients taking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recent studies have suggested that an-giotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in­hibitors do not work as well in African-American patients as in white patients. Researchers from the University of Texas and Loyola University, however, take issue with those findings. Based on their own retrospective analysis of data from 403 African-American and 3,651 white participants in the Studies of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Should elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and previous episodes of upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract bleeding be given an anticoagulant to prevent stroke? What about older patients with hypertension who have fallen in the past? Patients like these are less likely to be given warfarin sodium (Generic Coumadin®, DuPont)—and that&#8217;s regrettable, say investigators from Ottawa [...]]]></description>
