Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a urate oxidase, preferably recombinant urate oxidase, for example rasburicase, for the treatment or prophylaxis of disorders or indirect sequelae of the heart caused by ischemic or reperfusion events, for example during and after cardiac surgery like CABG (coronary artery bypass graft), PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention), transplantation, post myocardial infarction and for the treatment or prophylaxis of coronary artery disease or heart failure, for example congestive heart failure.

Abstract: The invention describes the use of PPAR agonists of the formulae (I) or (II) for the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF).

Abstract: Use of inhibitors of the cellular Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) for the production of a medicament for the normalization of serum lipids. The active compounds identified as inhibitors of the cellular Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) are used for the production of a medicament for the normalization of serum lipids. They are used for the production of a medicament for lowering the blood lipid level and illnesses caused thereby, as well as the endothelial dysfunction syndrome and illness caused thereby.

Abstract: The invention discloses and claims the use of vasopeptidase inhibitors of formula (II) for the treatment of nephropathy in non-diabetic patients.

Abstract: The invention describes the use of PPAR agonists of the formulae (I) or (II) for the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF).

Abstract: This invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the sodium-hydrogen exchanger (NHE) inhibitor cariporide and an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor which exhibits unexpectedly efficacious properties for preventing heart failure and other age-related organ dysfunctions, age-related disorders and for prolonging life, and to methods of preventing heart failure and other age-related organ dysfunctions, age-related disorders and for prolonging life comprising administering pharmaceutically effective amounts of the sodium-hydrogen exchange inhibitor cariporide and an ACE inhibitor.

Abstract: This invention discloses and claims a series of mercaptoacetylamide derivatives of formula I. Also disclosed and claimed are pharmaceutical compositions incorporating these compounds and processes for preparing said compounds.

Abstract: Benzenesulfonylureas and -thioureas of the formula I where R(1) is H or (fluoro)methyl, R(2) is H, Hal or (fluoro) (mercapto)alk(oxy)yl, E is O or S; Y is —[CR(3)2]n—, where R(3)=H or alkyl and n=1-4, X is H, Hal or alkyl and Z is Hal, NO3 or alk(yl)oxy, are described. The compounds I are used for treatment of disturbances in cardiac rhythm and prevention of sudden cardiac death caused by arrhythmia, and can therefore be used an antiarrhythmics. They are particularly suitable for those cases where arrhythmias are a consequence of a narrowing of a coronary vessel, such as angina pectoris or acute cardiac infarction.

Abstract: This invention discloses and claims a series of mercaptoacetylamide derivatives of formula I. Also disclosed and claimed are pharmaceutical compositions incorporating these compounds and processes for preparing said compounds. The use of said compounds for inhibition of the enzymes angiotensin converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase, and for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Inhibitors of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger are used for the production of a medicament for decreasing the undesired effects in human and in veterinary medicine which originate from substances which cause damage to the heart when administered acutely or chronically.

Abstract: Inhibitors of the cellular sodium-hydrogen exchanger are employed for preparing a medicament for preventing age-related functional disorders and dysfuntional changes of organs of the body and for preventing age-related diorders and for prolonging life while maintaining an improved quality of life.
