Heart and Arteries 1200 vegicap bottle: HE $209.1 We use only 100% Gluten-free, Vegetable Cellulose ”00” capsules for all of our encapsulated products. Heart and Arteries — Approximately 600 mg. each capsule. Herbal Extracts Plus has developed a unique blend called Support for Heart and Arteries. This herbal remedy contains a blend of all-natural herbal extracts that have been shown to be effective in maintaining a healthy heart and arteries. The heart pumps blood throughout the different regions of your body, supplying the entire body with fresh, oxygen-rich blood. As you age, the arteries tend to become less flexible and the heart has to work harder to circulate the blood efficiently. The herbal remedy offered by Herbal Extracts Plus is formulated with herbs known to support healthy arteries thereby reducing coronary stress. These ingredients also provide nourishing and restorative support for other organs in the body. Purpose of Formulation: This formulation provides numerous herbal ingredients that have an ability to help support your body’s fight against diseases of the heart and arteries. Other Applications: • Improves circulation • Supports the immune system • Provides nutritive and therapeutic support for body organs Herbal Ingredient Information: The following information is a brief overview describing each of the above herbal ingredients and what properties each contributes to make up this proprietary blend. • Hawthorne Leaf is an excellent cardio-tonic. It is thought to be especially effective in the beginning stages of heart disease, as well as speeding up the recovery time after a heart attack. Hawthorne is also believed to strengthen a weak heart muscle associated with age, relieve pressure and tightness of the chest, ease angina and myocarditis (inflammation of the heart), as well as mild cardiac arrhythmia. The bioflavonoids found in Hawthorne interact with key enzymes in the heart to increase the pumping force of the heart muscle and eliminate arrhythmia. Hawthorne’s rich flavonoids are also thought to dilate and open up the blood vessels (as a vasodilator), allowing oxygen-rich blood to get to the heart and reduce the risk of a heart attack. Hawthorne reduces cholesterol and regulates blood pressure. It appears to increase the liver’s conversion of LDLs (bad cholesterol) into HDLs (good cholesterol) which helps to stop plaque formation in the arteries. This is extremely beneficial in the treatment of arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, heart attack and strokes. • Gotu Kola supports good cardiovascular and circulatory health. It improves blood circulation, and researchers claim it supports a healthy heart, slows heart rate, and lowers blood pressure. Gotu Kola is a mild sedative that promotes a calming effect in the body and has been useful in treating sleep disorders. Gotu Kola’s astringent qualities help to detoxify the body by drawing fluid from tissues. It promotes urination, helps to eliminate excess fluid fr |

Hemodynamics in Cerebral Arteries and Aneurysms $122.25 Cerebral aneurysms develop in about 4 of western populations and involve the risk of rupture. Blood flow patterns are of interest for understanding the pathogenesis of the lesions for a specific patient. Velocity mapping with phasecontrast magnetic resonance angiography (PiMRA) is a noninvasive method for in vivo measurements on blood velocity. Based on these, a realistic patientspecific computer model can be generated and the flow field with all hemodynamic parameters can be simulated. As the accuracy of the PiMRA data and subsequent modeling must be validated, a realistic flow field in a silicone phantom was investigated. Velocities were acquired under equal conditions with PiMRA, laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results showed that PiMRA was qualitatively, but not quantitatively, similar to LDV and CFD in straight arteries, while the accuracy of PiMRA decreased in regions with complex flow patterns as present in aneurysms. Thus, it is appropriate to use PiMRA as inlet conditions for CFD to calculate hemodynamic parameters in aneurysms, rather than to derive them directly from the measurements.
