Researchers studying over 300,000 adults found that even light smoking—just two to five cigarettes a day—dramatically boosts the risk of heart disease and death. The benefits of quitting are significant, especially in the first decade, but some excess risk remains for decades. Cutting back helps far...
Doctors “Astounded”: Long-Held Belief About Coffee and Heart Rhythm Was Wrong
(scitechdaily.com)
In a surprising finding, the first randomized clinical trial revealed that drinking a cup of coffee each day reduces the risk of atrial fibrillation. Regular coffee consumption may actually help protect against atrial fibrillation (A-Fib), a common heart rhythm problem that causes a fast, irregular ...
A new microneedle patch delivers IL-4 directly into damaged heart tissue, helping the heart rebuild after a heart attack. The treatment encourages immune cells to switch into a healing mode while improving communication between cells that control blood flow and repair. New Microneedle Patch Designed...
Research Highlights: Chronic pain may play a significant role in increasing the risk of developing high blood pressure. How long the pain lasts and where it occurs both affect this risk, and part of the connection is linked to depression and inflammation. Researchers say the results emphasize how im...
11-Year Study Reveals Eating These Plant Compounds Is Linked to Better Heart Health
(scitechdaily.com)
A decade-long study links polyphenol-rich diets to slower increases in cardiovascular risk. People who often eat foods and drinks high in polyphenols, such as tea, coffee, berries, cocoa, nuts, whole grains and olive oil, may support better heart health over the long term. A research team from King’...
Researchers have uncovered molecular clues linking diabetes to heart disease. Researchers at the University of Sydney have uncovered new evidence showing how type 2 diabetes directly changes the heart, affecting both its physical structure and the way it generates energy. The findings help explain w...
Microplastics may be quietly invading arteries and accelerating heart disease, especially in males. New research led by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside suggests that routine contact with microplastics — tiny particles released from packaging, clothing, and many plast...
Exposure to artificial light at night appears to trigger stress in the brain and inflammation in the arteries, raising heart disease risk. Researchers say even modest light increases could have long-term cardiovascular consequences. Higher exposure to artificial light at night was associated with in...
Semaglutide may safeguard the heart even without significant weight loss. A new study led by a researcher at University College London (UCL) suggests that the anti-obesity drug semaglutide may reduce the risk of heart attacks and other serious cardiac events even when people lose little or no weight...
After years of type 2 diabetes, red blood cells may quietly turn against the heart—offering a new clue for spotting danger early. People who live with type 2 diabetes for many years face a steadily increasing risk of cardiovascular disease. New research from Karolinska Institutet, published in the j...
Research Highlights In France, researchers found that lowering salt levels in baguettes and other common breads could reduce daily sodium intake by about 0.35 grams per person. Over time, this small change could prevent more than 1,000 deaths nationwide, showing how subtle food reformulations can de...
Men’s heart disease risk starts rising in their mid-30s — years earlier than many doctors start looking. Men reached a 5% risk of cardiovascular disease about seven years sooner than women, highlighting a significant early gap in heart health. Coronary heart disease was the main reason for this diff...
Research Highlights: Adults in midlife and older age who tend to be most active in the evening, especially women, showed poorer overall heart health compared with those who did not strongly prefer mornings or evenings, based on the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 score. The analysis ...
This Brain Condition Quadruples Dementia Risk And Most People Have Never Heard of It
(scitechdaily.com)
Research Highlights A large U.S. study of nearly 2 million older adults found that cerebral amyloid angiopathy, a condition in which amyloid proteins build up in brain blood vessels, is linked to a much higher risk of developing dementia within five years. The increased dementia risk appeared consis...
Failing kidneys may be quietly sending toxic signals that damage the heart. Scientists have identified a key reason why more than half of people with chronic kidney disease eventually die from heart-related conditions. New evidence shows that damaged kidneys release a substance into the bloodstream ...
Low-carb and low-fat diets can both protect your heart — but only if they’re built on healthy, high-quality foods. A new study published today (February 11) in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology, suggests that when it comes to lowering heart disease risk, the quality of...
Eating more ultra-processed foods may raise heart attack and stroke risk by nearly 50%. Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are factory-made products that contain added fats, sugars, starches, salt, and chemical additives such as emulsifiers. Items like soft drinks, packaged snacks, and processed meats fal...
Women’s heart health is heading toward a crisis, with nearly 60% projected to have cardiovascular disease by 2050. Heart disease in women is projected to climb dramatically over the next 25 years. By 2050, nearly 60% of women in the United States could have high blood pressure, a major driver of car...
A new study suggests that widely used GLP-1 weight-loss drugs may do more than improve metabolic health: they could also protect the heart after a heart attack. Doctors can often reopen the blocked artery that triggers a heart attack, but that is not always the end of the crisis inside the heart mus...
