Many drugs have effects that we are unaware of. Some are discovered over time and others are listed in the package insert. And, although we usually talk about negative side effects, many times positive side effects are discovered that could improve our quality of life. This is the case of the latest publication on atorvastatin, a little-known drug used in very specific cases that could be beneficial to protect the heart. This has been determined by experts who have pointed to this drug as a beneficial drug for those suffering from certain heart problems
What is atorvastatin?
You have probably never heard of atorvastatin. This is a statin that is quite commonly used to lower cholesterol. However, according to a recent study, it could also be very effective in offering protection to those with heart problems.
In particular, it has been analysed that it could be very useful for people suffering from diabetic cardiomyopathy. Intravenous atorvastatin may limit infarct size in patients suffering from this pathology. However, other implications and benefits are still being analysed to determine whether its use can be extended to treat other heart conditions.

Other benefits of atorvastatin
The benefits of this drug do not stop there. It is obviously ideal for treating and reducing cholesterol, as this is the main function of this statin. But it not only reduces LDL, it also increases the production of HDL cholesterol.
It also has a great anti-inflammatory power. According to multiple studies, atorvastatin could be very beneficial in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In the same way, researchers are analyzing whether this statin could help protect the cardiovascular system during the cancer treatment process, especially in those phases in which the medication is more aggressive, as occurs with chemotherapy
However, while this may sound encouraging and be great news for many patients with various pathologies, caution is important. Some of the theories that were held have been conclusively demonstrated, but others are in the process of being analyzed. The most appropriate thing is to follow medical advice based on your personal and health situation so that there are no medical complications in relation to your case. What is true is that studies and results like these shed light and new opportunities for those who suffer from a pathology or are undergoing a complicated treatment.

New Pope effect: Bettors are flocking toward Bears, Cubs, Villanova title odds
There wasn’t much faith at BetMGM that Robert Francis Prevost would be selected as the new Pope — less than 1 percent of the money wagered for the next Pope betting market (yes, you could’ve bet on that, but only in Ontario) came in on Prevost. After that Hail Mary cashed in at +5000 odds this past Thursday, bettors, or let’s call them optimists in this scenario, are now backing other long shots related to Prevost’s life before becoming Pope Leo XIV.AdvertisementPope Leo XIV was born in Chicago in 1955 and graduated from Villanova University with a Bachelor’s degree in mathematics in 1977 before his journey with the Catholic Church. The first American pope was even captured in old game footage from the 2005 World Series, where he was shown on the FOX broadcast during Game 1 in the Windy […]
