262 Alternative Cardiovascular Medicine NIH Institutes, Centers, and Divisions Table 3 Other NIH and FDA Web Sites National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, (NHLBI) NIH http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov Regular scanning of the professional resources yields latest research information, clinical trials, practice guidelines, and research funding, some of which will increasingly be related to CAM. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, (NCCAM) NIH http://nccam.nih.gov In 2002, NCCAM and NHLBI launched a joint multicenter clinical trial to assess chelation therapy. Information can be tracked on either NIH Web site. For other CAM clinical trials related to heart disease, click on Clinical Trials, then NCCAM Clinical Trials—by Disease or Condition, then select appropriate categories under the alphabetical listing. Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) NIH http://ods.od.nih.gov One of the ODS-funded centers, Purdue University and the University of Alabama Botanicals Research Center for Age Related Diseases are studying the effects of polyphenols on age-related diseases, including heart disease. Try the search function for other related resources. NIH Consensus Development Program http://consensus.nih.gov/ The site provides the latest statements and state of the science for a range of medical practice. Use the search feature to find relevant guidelines. Food and Drug Administration—Dietary Supplements http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/supplmnt.html/ The current Adverse Event reporting system is a simple recording of consumer and practitioner complaints and has been subject to strong criticism. The FDA has recognized that reports may be incomplete and open to misinterpretation and is devising a new system for tracking and analyzing adverse events reports, called CAERS. Follow this development on the Web site. Most of these are concerned with disease categories, but increasingly they cover CAM approaches.
