Urolithin A recharges aging immune cells and boosts mitochondrial fitness in midlife adults

Urolithin A, a natural postbiotic known to trigger mitophagy, rejuvenated key immune cell functions in healthy middle-aged adults after 28 days. The trial showed a shift toward a youthful, energy-efficient CD8⁺ T-cell profile and enhanced bacterial clearance without inflammatory side effects.

New genomic method enables multiple people with rare conditions to receive diagnoses

A new genomic method has enabled multiple people with rare conditions to receive diagnoses that were previously unattainable by identifying complex structural genetic changes that are often missed by standard tests.

Familiar voices help reduce the risk of delirium in ICU patients

The innovative use of recorded messages from a family member to provide reorientation information to a critically ill patient receiving mechanical ventilation helped reduce the risk of developing delirium, according to new research published in American Journal of Critical Care (AJCC).

Atrial dysfunction assessment tool may help identify stroke risk in people with ATTR-CM

A hidden atrial dysfunction may raise stroke risk in people with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM); however, a non-invasive assessment tool may help identify those at increased risk, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

Combined analysis of three blood tests enhances heart attack risk prediction

A combined analysis of blood tests to measure three biomarkers linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease-lipoprotein a (Lp(a)), remnant cholesterol and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)-may help identify high-risk individuals earlier and guide more personalized prevention strategies, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

AI algorithm paired with ECG sensors can accurately detect structural heart diseases

An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm paired with the single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors on a smartwatch accurately diagnosed structural heart diseases, such as weakened pumping ability, damaged valves or thickened heart muscle, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

Low-dose aspirin helps reduce the incidence of major cardiovascular event among diabetic individuals

People with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) who took low-dose aspirin were less likely to experience a major cardiovascular event, including heart attack, stroke or death, than people with T2D at similar CVD risk who did not take low-dose aspirin, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

Long-term use of melatonin supplements linked to higher risk of heart failure and death

Long-term use of melatonin supplements, often used to promote sleep and address insomnia, was associated with a higher risk of heart failure diagnosis, heart failure hospitalization and death from any cause in chronic insomnia, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.

Healthy lifestyle habits plus GLP-1 RA drugs can improve heart health of people with Type 2 diabetes

People with Type 2 diabetes who combined healthy lifestyle habits with GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) medications had a greater reduction in risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular disease death, compared to people only taking the medication, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.
