cardioprotection

Cardiology Therapy to prevent heart disease–eg, use of beta blockers to ↓ mortality and recurrent coronary events after acute MI, rather than to treat angina or HTN. See Myocardial infarction.

Because the phenolic hydroxyl in polydatin is similar to the chemical structure of vitamin E (a common anti-oxidant in our body), we hypothesized that the free radical-eliminating effect of polydatin might be another potential mechanism mediating cardioprotection.

In the Medical Research Council (MRC) trial, the benefits of the diuretic were diluted whenever a [beta]-blocker was added and vanished completely with 13-blocker monotherapy The more [beta]-blocker they took, the less cardioprotection they had.
