Show Messenger Cholesterol levels influence on heart disease is researched COMSANLog A nationwide study aimed at settling the question of whether lowered cholesterol levels reduce the risk of heart disease has passed the halfway point in patient recruitment and appears well on its way toward answering one of the most troubling health questions in America today, a team of University of Minnesota doctors has announced.

The program on the Surgical Control of the Hyperlipidemias(POSCH) was launched in 1973 and began patient recruitment at the University of Minnesota in 1975. The study is funded through a grant from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Five hundred patients will undergo an operation that ties off the lower third of the small intestine where cholesterol and fat are absorbed into the bloodstream during the process of digestion. The remaining 500 patients will make up the control group. The surgical technique, called the partial ileal bypass, should not be confused with the intestinal bypass surgery for severely obese persons. The partial bypass leaves intact the major part of the small intestine. As a result, patients do not lose weight and do not suffer problems encountered by patients who have the more radical operation. Doctors say that if cholesterol reduction proves to reduce the risk in patients who have suffered a first heart attack, it would be a strong indication that the risk of having a first heart attack could also be reduced by lowering cholesterol.
