Cambridge University study shows aldesleukin drug reduces heart attack risk by 7.7% and may improve post-heart attack survival rates.

A study from Cambridge University indicates that aldesleukin, a drug used for kidney cancer, may lower heart attack risk by reducing arterial inflammation. In a trial involving 60 patients, those receiving the drug experienced a 7.7% reduction in inflammation compared to a placebo. If further research confirms these results, aldesleukin could be integrated into post-heart attack care within five to ten years, potentially improving survival rates for many patients.
