Methods and results Six thousand and fourteen British civil servants (4262 men and 1752 women), aged 3961 years who were free from CHD and worked full time at baseline (19911994), were followed until 20022004, an average of 11 years. The outcome measure was incident fatal CHD, clinically verified incident non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or definite angina (a total of 369 events). Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics showed that 34 h overtime work per day was associated with 1.60-fold (95% CI 1.152.23) increased risk of incident CHD compared with employees with no overtime work. Adjustment for all 21 cardiovascular risk factors measured made little difference to these estimates (HR 1.56, 95% CI 1.112.19). This association was replicated in multivariate analysis with only fatal cardiovascular disease and incident non-fatal MI as the outcome (HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.022.76). Conclusion Overtime work is related to increased risk of incident CHD independently of conventional risk factors. These findings suggest that overtime work adversely affects coronary health.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA), which licenses the use of the drug Reductil, is looking at the results of a clinical trial which suggests that its active ingredient, sibutramine, could lead to an increased risk of developing heart problems. Nearly 330,000 prescriptions for the drug, which tricks the brain into believing the stomach is full, were written out in 2008. The safety data has come from an international trial of 10,000 patients carried out during the past six years. Most of those recruited for the Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcome Trial (SCOUT) were overweight or obese and already had cardiovascular problems. A heart condition would normally exclude them from taking the drug because it can slightly raise blood pressure. However, the EMA has said that, as a result of the seriousness of the studys concerns, it is looking at the implications for all patients offered the prescription-only drug and will release its findings later this month. Until then, it has advised doctors to use Reductil with caution and to monitor patients blood pressure and heart rate. The UKs medicines watchdog, The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, also confirmed it was reviewing the data. More... The 'spaghetti' artery that could transform heart bypass surgery Off the shelf, a taste of Atkins: The high protein MS meals that allow you those forbidden carbohydrates The agency has recorded 2,094 suspected adverse reactions to Reductil since it was introduced in 2001, and 17 deaths have been linked to the drug. Six of the deaths were caused by heart problems and strokes. Reductil works by blocking the nerve cells that release and reabsorb the hormone serotonin, a chemical neurotransmitter in the brain that affects moods and appetite. As the level of serotonin in the body rises, people feel fuller, eat less and, as a result, lose weight. The drug is recommended for patients who are clinically obese those with a Body Mass Index over 30 or for anyone with a BMI higher than 27 who has another weight-related health problem. A spokesman for Abbott Laboratories, which manufacturers Reductil, said: Our ongoing evaluation of the SCOUT study data does not change our medical assessment of sibutramines risk/benefit profile when used appropriately in the approved patient population.

Hardly cheap! Hypnotherapy is very expensive. Costs vary from 130- 200 for a session for weight loss. If the NHS were to provide it for all obese people in britain then why not also for smokers, alcoholics and drug addicts? Far cheapest of all options is to try and get people to take more exercise and eat more healthily. Whenever the DOH try to do that however we get people whinging on about the 'Nanny state'.

As someone whose life was saved by mainstream medicine on 2 occassions, I find your posts crass and juvenile. They miss the point. I don't take the drugs I take for pleasure. I take them because they help me to stay alive. The side-effects, such as they are, are infinitely preferable to dying, and overall the drugs gretaly enhance my quality of life by kepeing pain in check and allowing me to be well enough to exercise. I am extremely grateful to the drug companies who developed the medicine that has done so much for me. If you don't want it don't take it.

Evaluation of: Astrup A, Breum L, Jensen TJ, Kroustrup JP, Larsen TM. Effect of tesofensine on bodyweight loss, body composition, and quality of life in obese patients: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Lancet 2008;372:1906-13. PG - 1043-6 AB - BACKGROUND: The incidence of obesity is increasing; this is of major concern, as obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, respiratory tract disease, and cancer. OBJECTIVES/METHODS: This evaluation is of a Phase II clinical trial with tesofensine in obese subjects. RESULTS: After 26 weeks, tesofensine caused a significant weight loss, and may have a higher maximal ability to reduce weight than the presently available anti-obesity agents. However, tesofensine also increased blood pressure and heart rate, and may increase psychiatric disorders. CONCLUSIONS: It is encouraging that tesofensine 0.5 mg may cause almost double the weight loss observed with sibutramine or rimonabant. As tesofensine and sibutramine have similar pharmacological profiles, it would be of interest to compare the weight loss with tesofensine in a head-to-head clinical trial with sibutramine, to properly assess their comparative potency. Also, as teso fensine 0.5 mg increases heart rate, as well as increasing the incidence of adverse effects such as nausea, drug mouth, flatulence, insomnia, and depressed mode, its tolerability needs to be further evaluated in large Phase III clinical trials.

PG - 75-90 AB - Obesity is one of the greatest public health challenges of the twenty-first century. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that in 2005 approximately 1.6 billion adults were overweight and at least 400 million adults were obese. The prevalence of obesity is still continuing to increase dramatically. Overweight and obese people carry a higher risk for a variety of cardiovascular diseases including hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral occlusive artery disease. Weight loss is considered to be the initial step which helps to prevent or to control the clinical consequences of obesity. In a great number of patients who are not able to reduce weight by means of non-pharmacological measures, drug therapy can assist in reaching the weight management targets.

PG - 877-9 AB - INTRODUCTION: Sibutramine is an amphetamine-like drug used for its weight reducing effect. Sibutramine-induced acute coronary syndrome has rarely been reported. We report a case of myocardial infarction associated with the use of sibutramine. CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old woman presented to an Emergency Department (ED) with intermittent retrosternal chest pain, nausea, and sweating for 3 days. She reported taking one sibutramine tablet each day for 3 days. Blood pressure was 128/89 mm Hg and pulse 66 beats/min. An electrocardiogram revealed ST elevation over the inferior leads and ST depression over leads AVR and V1, the other leads were normal. Serum troponin T was 0.65 microg/L, and sibutramine was identified in her urine. Echocardiography revealed mild hypokinesia over the inferior wall without evidence of acute aortic dissection. The ST segment changes resolved spontaneously within 24 h of cardiac care unit (CCU) admission, a coronary angiogram performed 1 week later was unremarkable, and echocardiography performed 4 weeks after the event showed normal resting regional wall motion. DISCUSSION: Seventeen medications containing sibutramine as an active ingredient were registered in Hong Kong in 2007. Sibutramine was introduced in the United States in 1997 and in Australia, United Kingdom, and Italy in 2001. Hypertension, tachycardia, dry mouth, and headache are the most commonly reported adverse reactions. Cardiovascular toxicities include tachycardia, palpitation, hypertension, and tachyarrhythmia. CONCLUSIONS: We postulate that the myocardial infarction was the result of coronary vasospasm associated with the therapeutic use of sibutramine-containing slimming pills.

The expected reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure through weight loss is greater the higher the starting blood pressure. For patients who are not successful through calorie reduction and sport, weight loss can be enhanced with pharmacotherapy. Various substance-dependent blood pressure reactions have been observed that must be monitored. The blood pressure of patients who have undergone surgical intervention for weight loss decreases significantly to the upper normal range.

PG - 1156-63 AB - BACKGROUND: The prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions, and in terms of the extent of its negative impact on the health has been compared to those of tobacco and alcohol. One of the first medical consequences of obesity to be recognised was cardiovascular disease (CVD). Obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, predisposes a person to a number of other cardiovascular risk factors, and is an independent predictor of clinical CVD including coronary death, coronary heart disease, heart failure and stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A Medline search using the following keywords (obesity, cardiovascular disease, body mass index, cardiovascular risk factors, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome) was performed looking for high impact factor English-written references. RESULTS: Ninety-nine (N=99) relevant articles published in the last 15 years were selected and commented. As detailed throughout the text, current therapies available for weight management can improve or prevent many of these obesity-related risk factors for CVD. However, there is some controversy as to whether weight loss is beneficial for health, and large clinical outcome trials such as the Look-AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) trial or the SCOUT (Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial) study are currently ongoing. DISCUSSION: In the present review, we summarise the effects of obesity as well as the efficacy of weight-loss interventions on cardiovascular risk factors and CVD.

PG - 213-20 AB - Over the past several years, the pharmacologic treatment of obesity has undergone changes in safety, efficacy, and therapeutic targeting. The prevalence of cardiac valvulopathy associated with treatment with phentermine, fenfluramine, and dexfenfluramine is now becoming clarified with the publication of longer-term studies. Phenylpropanolamine, a well-known over-the-counter appetite suppressant, was recently removed from the market in the United States because of an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke in women. In contrast, two currently approved medications, sibutramine and orlistat, have been shown to be safe and moderately effective for weight loss with documented beneficial effects on cardiovascular risk factors. Three other drugs, bupropion, topiramate, and ciliary neurotrophic factor, are undergoing clinical trials for obesity based on empirical observations. Most promising are the advances in genetics and molecular biology that are beginning to elucidate new targets for controlling appetite and energy utilization. These therapeutic agents will likely herald a second generation of anti-obesity medications over the next decade.

PG - 277-302 AB - Some of the medications used for weight loss in the management of obesity have been associated with unacceptable morbidity and mortality. Safety concerns have led to the withdrawal of aminorex, followed by the fenfluramines in 1997, and phenylpropanolamine (norephedrine) in 2000. Aminorex was associated with an increased prevalence of primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), fenfluramines with an increased prevalence of PPH and valvulopathy, and phenylpropanolamine with an increased risk of haemorrhagic stroke. Several studies have investigated the safety of the fenfluramines, yet the benefit-risk profile has not been conclusively quantified. This is due to several deficiencies in the published studies, including a lack of data on the baseline prevalences of comorbid conditions in obese subjects, and potential confounders and biases in the study designs. Although several studies and systematic reviews support an increased risk of PPH and valvulopathy in patients who have taken fenfluramines, without knowledge of the background prevalence it is not possible to determine if the exposure preceded the outcome. The population at higher risk of these adverse effects includes those taking higher doses or with a longer duration of exposure to fenfluramines and those with pre-existing cardiac disease or a genetic predisposition. Patients exposed to fenfluramines continue to be monitored, with some follow-up studies indicating no overall worsening in valvulopathy over time. There are limited efficacy and safety data for amfepramone (diethylpropion) and phentermine and their approval for the management of obesity is limited to short-term use. Orlistat and sibutramine are the only currently approved medications for long-term management of obesity. Although the benefit-risk profiles of sibutramine and orlistat appear positive, sibutramine continues to be monitored because of long-term safety concerns. The safety and efficacy of currently approved drug therapies have not been evaluated in children and elderly patient populations and there is limited information in adolescents, whilst the long-term safety of current and potential new drug therapies in adults will require several years of postmarketing surveillance to fully elucidate their adverse effect profiles.

PG - 24-30 AB - BACKGROUND AND AIM: To assess efficacy of sibutramine in obese subjects, and influence on hemodynamics, valve function and left ventricular (LV) geometry and performance. METHODS AND RESULTS: Three-month double-blind, parallel groups, randomized, placebo-controlled of 15 mg o.i.d. sibutramine administration combined with diet. Twenty-five to 65 year-old males or postmenopausal females, were enrolled if their BMI was between 30 and 40 kg/m(2), without evidence of concomitant diseases. Body weight, BMI, blood pressure (BP), echocardiographic LV mass, cardiac output, and diastolic function were measured. Body weight and BMI were better reduced with sibutramine (weight loss of 5% or more in 9 of 11 patients) than placebo group (weight loss of 5% or more in 5 of 9 patients; all p0.05). Systolic and diastolic BP decreased similarly in both arms. No difference in mean heart rate was detected between treatments. The two groups had slightly different LV geometry at baseline. LV mass decreased with weight loss, more in the sibutramine group (p0.05), due to reduction in LV chamber size. Stroke volume tended to be reduced in the sibutramine group, influencing diastolic pattern. E/A ratio tended to decrease in the sibutramine group without changes in isovolumic relaxation time and deceleration time of E velocity. No onset or increased severity of valve regurgitation was detected. CONCLUSIONS: Combined to hypocaloric diet, sibutramine increases weight loss in obese individuals. Weight changes have positive effect on reduction of BP and contribute to reduce LV mass, the hallmark of markers of preclinical cardiovascular disease and most powerful predictor of adverse outcome.

PG - 281-97 AB - Grapefruit juice can alter oral drug pharmacokinetics by different mechanisms. Irreversible inactivation of intestinal cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 is produced by commercial grapefruit juice given as a single normal amount (e.g. 200-300 mL) or by whole fresh fruit segments. As a result, presystemic metabolism is reduced and oral drug bioavailability increased. Enhanced oral drug bioavailability can occur 24 hours after juice consumption. Inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a possible mechanism that increases oral drug bioavailability by reducing intestinal and/or hepatic efflux transport. Recently, inhibition of organic anion transporting polypeptides by grapefruit juice was observed in vitro; intestinal uptake transport appeared decreased as oral drug bioavailability was reduced. Numerous medications used in the prevention or treatment of coronary artery disease and its complications have been observed or are predicted to interact with grapefruit juice. Such interactions may increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis when dyslipidemia is treated with the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors atorvastatin, lovastatin, or simvastatin. Potential alternative agents are pravastatin, fluvastatin, or rosuvastatin. Such interactions might also cause excessive vasodilatation when hypertension is managed with the dihydropyridines felodipine, nicardipine, nifedipine, nisoldipine, or nitrendipine. An alternative agent could be amlodipine. In contrast, the therapeutic effect of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist losartan may be reduced by grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice interacting with the antidiabetic agent repaglinide may cause hypoglycemia, and interaction with the appetite suppressant sibutramine may cause elevated BP and HR. In angina pectoris, administration of grapefruit juice could result in atrioventricular conduction disorders with verapamil or attenuated antiplatelet activity with clopidrogel. Grapefruit juice may enhance drug toxicity for antiarrhythmic agents such as amiodarone, quinidine, disopyramide, or propafenone, and for the congestive heart failure drug, carvediol. Some drugs for the treatment of peripheral or central vascular disease also have the potential to interact with grapefruit juice. Interaction with sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil for erectile dysfunction, may cause serious systemic vasodilatation especially when combined with a nitrate. Interaction between ergotamine for migraine and grapefruit juice may cause gangrene or stroke. In stroke, interaction with nimodipine may cause systemic hypotension. If a drug has low inherent oral bioavailability from presystemic metabolism by CYP3A4 or efflux transport by P-gp and the potential to produce serious overdose toxicity, avoidance of grapefruit juice entirely during pharmacotherapy appears mandatory. Although altered drug response is variable among individuals, the outcome is difficult to predict and avoiding the combination will guarantee toxicity is prevented. The elderly are at particular risk, as they are often prescribed medications and frequently consume grapefruit juice.

Its occurrence is strongly associated with increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, hypertension, stroke, heart and respiratory failure, breast, prostate and gut cancer, gall stones, arthropathy. Obesity is common in Polish population. Obesity treatment is difficult and frustrating. It consists of several parts like diet, increased physical activity, lifestyle changes, drug therapy and surgery. However, obesity treatment is very often a failure, mostly because of discouraging long-term results and the necessity of intensive patient's involvement in the therapy. For many patients and doctors weight-decreasing agents look promising. The groups of anti-obesity drugs are presented in the article, with special reference to serotoninergic agents and intestinal lipase inhibitors. The prospects for new anti-obesity agents are discussed.

PG - 419-26 AB - Obesity is one of the most common medical problems in the United States and a risk factor for illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, degenerative arthritis and myocardial infarction. It is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality and generates great social and financial costs. Obesity is defined as a body mass index greater than 30. Many patients accomplish weight loss with diet, exercise and lifestyle modification. Others require more aggressive therapy. Weight loss medications may be appropriate for use in selected patients who meet the definition of obesity or who are overweight with comorbid conditions. Medications are formulated to reduce energy intake, increase energy output or decrease the absorption of nutrients. Drugs cannot replace diet, exercise and lifestyle modification, which remain the cornerstones of obesity treatment. Two new agents, sibutramine and orlistat, exhibit novel mechanisms of action and avoid some of the side effects that occurred with earlier drugs. Sibutramine acts to block uptake of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, while orlistat decreases fat absorption in the intestines.
