Friends,

>From EurekAlert at

http://www.eurekalert.org/releases/mgh-gti021700.html

you will find the article "Gene transfer improves function of aging hearts
in animals".

Within the article one finds the following interesting comment:

"Currently treatment options for diastolic dysfunction are very limited,"
Hajjar says.
    "These results suggest possible avenues for treating this very
significant problem that
    results from the aging process itself, rather than from a specific
disease."

                        Best, Jeff Davis
