NEW WONDER DRUG -THAT CUTS HEART FAILURE RISK by 20%













A ,New    heart  failure  drug  from   Novartis   cut  the  risk  of  both   cardiovascular  death  and  hospitalization   by    a  fifth   in  keenly  awaited  study,  boosting  hopes   for  a product  that  is  seen  as  a   multimillion-dollar   seller .
There  have  been  little  progress   for  more than  a  decade     in  treating  chronic  heart  failure,  in  which  the  heart   fails   to  pump     blood   around  the  body.
The  study  compared   LCZ696 to   an  older  drug  already  known  to  improve   survival.
The  European  Society  of  Cardiology (ESC) 
has  flagged   the  PARADIGM-HF  trial,  reflecting  the  pressing  need  to  find   better  treatments   than  the  current   line-up  of  the  old   generic  medicines .In  a  study -  the largest    ever  undertaken   in heart  failure and  involving  more than  8,400   patients -LCZ696  was  tested   against  enalapril , a  so - called  ACE  inhibitor   drug.
Patients   who  took   LCZ696  were  20 % less   likely  than  those  on  enalapril  to  die  of  cardiovascular   causes  and  were also 21percent   less  likely   to  be   admitted  to  hospital,according  to  the  results  presented  at  the  conference  of  the  European  Society  of  Cardiology.
The  new  drug  developed  by  Switzerland   based 'Novartis' .The  drug  could  be  on  the market  by 2015.
