Clinically significant valvular heart disease vastly underdiagnosed in U.S. elders

Results from the PREVUE-VALVE study suggest that there are currently at least 4.7 million people aged 65-85 living with moderate or greater valvular heart disease (VHD) in the United States, and at least 10.6 million with clinically significant VHD, most of whom are unaware of their condition.

Obesity’s health risks shift with age and sex, new genetic study reveals

Using a new time-resolved Mendelian randomization approach in over 360,000 UK Biobank participants, Karlsson et al. revealed that the causal impact of obesity changes across life, with distinct age- and sex-specific risk patterns for diabetes, heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and osteoarthritis.

Study finds bright nights raise risk for stroke and heart failure in adults over 40

A large UK Biobank study found that higher night-time light exposure is linked to significantly greater risks of coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular conditions. The findings suggest maintaining darker nights and adequate daytime light could support heart health.

What Britain’s post-war sugar rationing teaches us about long-term heart health

A BMJ study found that individuals exposed to sugar rationing during their first 1,000 days of life had significantly lower risks of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure in adulthood. Early-life sugar restriction was linked to a 2.5-year delay in cardiovascular disease onset, suggesting long-term benefits for heart health.

Semaglutide protects the heart beyond weight loss, SELECT trial shows

Semaglutide lowered the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events across all body weight and waist circumference levels in people with overweight or obesity and cardiovascular disease. Early waist reduction explained only a third of this benefit, showing that semaglutide’s heart protection extends beyond fat loss.

Are ultra-processed plant foods really worse than meat? Scientists weigh in

A new review challenges assumptions about ultra-processed foods, finding that plant-based versions, such as soymilk, meat analogs, and soft margarines, may lower cholesterol and disease risk compared with unprocessed animal foods when used as replacements.

Unlocking the secrets of vascular health through eye imaging

The tiny blood vessels in your eyes might hold the key to predicting a person's risk of developing heart disease and how fast they're biologically aging, according to researchers at McMaster University and Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) - a joint institute of Hamilton Health Sciences and McMaster.

Updated guidelines published for pediatric CPR and emergency cardiovascular care

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association (the Association), a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere, have published updated guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care for newborn and pediatric populations.

Study finds small but significant sprint gains from dark chocolate milk intake

A new study found that consuming dark chocolate milk before exercise modestly enhanced anaerobic sprint performance in healthy young adults. The gains, seen in total effort time and power output, were small but potentially meaningful for competitive athletes.

A little walking goes a long way: 4,000 steps linked to lower mortality in older women

Older women who achieved at least 4,000 steps per day for just one or two days each week showed significantly lower risks of death and cardiovascular disease. The study suggests that total step volume, not frequency, drives these benefits, redefining what “enough movement” means for health.

Loneliness interventions can be effective but do not yet offer a complete solution

Interventions designed to reduce loneliness can be effective, but do not yet offer a complete solution to what is becoming a worldwide public health problem, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

Exposure to bright light at night can increase heart disease risk

A new study led by Flinders University has found that being exposed to bright light at night can significantly increase the chances of developing serious heart problems, including heart attacks, strokes and heart failure.

Restricted sugar intake during early life associated with lower cardiovascular risks in adulthood

Restricted sugar intake during early life is linked to lower risks of several heart conditions in adulthood, including heart attack, heart failure, and stroke, finds a study published by The BMJ today using data from the end of UK sugar rationing in 1953.

Semaglutide can offer important heart benefits that go beyond weight loss

A new analysis of the SELECT trial – the largest and longest clinical trial to date examining the cardiovascular benefits of semaglutide (a medication used to support weight loss and diabetes management) – confirms it also lowers the risk of major heart problems in people who are overweight or obese and already have heart disease, even if they don't have diabetes.
