Cure heart disease with engine exhaust

Scottish scientists have tested a method to treat cardiovascular disease with nitrogen monoxide, a toxic substance in the emissions of cars and motorcycles, the Daily Mail reported.

The new method may be hopeful for many heart disease patients.

Researchers believe that extremely small amounts enter the body, which can reduce the stress of blood vessels, increase blood circulation and, to some extent, prevent the formation of clots. embolism.

The author of the study, Dr. Ian Merson, said: 'To test we used a smaller amount than the amount contained in car exhaust. Although new in the initial research phase, we have seen its enormous potential for treating cardiovascular patients'.

'Carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides in vehicle emissions are also found always in the human body but in extremely small amounts. Handling these gases (exclusion from the body) is quite complicated and takes quite a long time to get rid of unnecessary toxins. Based on the experimental results, we look to the future in a very optimistic way , 'he concluded.

The British Heart Foundation sees a credible prospect of new therapies, which has donated £ 288,000 to this scientist for him to complete his research. Currently people are conducting tests on pig hearts. The process of testing the effectiveness of the method performed at the laboratory of Saint Andrews University in Scotland.
