Higher intake of free sugars linked with increased risk of cardiovascular disease

Higher intake of free sugars – added sugars and those naturally present in honey and fruit juice – is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, reports a study published in BMC Medicine.

Aircraft noise exposure before MI amplifies subsequent cardiovascular inflammation

Traffic noise may play an essential role in the development and deterioration of ischemic heart disease. Researchers from the Cardiology Department at the University Medical Center Mainz now discovered that noise exposure(average sound pressure level 72 dB; peak level 85 dB) up to 4d resulted in pro-inflammatory aortic gene expression in mice.

High prevalence and risks of heart failure warrant urgent action, say researchers

Up to 2% of adults in Europe, North America, and Israel likely have heart failure, and are at high risk of death and additional serious complications, suggest current estimates based on digital health records for 11 countries, and published online in the journal Heart.

High doses of cannabidiol may increase the effects of THC in edible cannabis products

Contrary to some common claims, a study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers found that relatively high doses of cannabidiol (CBD) may increase the adverse effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active ingredient in cannabis that can cause a mood alteration or a "high" sensation.

AI-based decision support for cardiac arrest could make a major difference to doctors’ work

When patients receive care after cardiac arrest, doctors can now — by entering patient data in a web-based app — find out how thousands of similar patients have fared.

About 1 in 5 stroke survivors found to have irregular heart rhythms

Irregular heart rhythms were detected in about 1 in 5 people who survived an ischemic stroke due to atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty substances in the arteries) after being continuously monitored for three years with an insertable cardiac device, according to preliminary late-breaking science presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2023.

Exposure to wildfire smoke associated with spontaneous preterm birth

The detrimental effects of poor air quality on a person's health are well documented. In pregnant people, research has shown that poor air quality, such as smog, can lead to a number of adverse outcomes, including preterm birth (PTB), one of the leading causes of infant mortality in the United States as well as globally. PTB is defined as delivery before the 37th week of pregnancy.

Dietary inflammation linked to worse outcomes in COVID-19

The theme of food-related inflammation has been dominant over the past decade. As a result, new tools have emerged to measure this state as well as to strengthen its association with adverse health outcomes. A new report looks at dietary inflammation and its effect on rates of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), severity, and death.
