Computer algorithm predicts coronary artery disease-related events based on voice recordings

An artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer algorithm accurately predicted a person's likelihood of suffering heart problems related to clogged arteries based on voice recordings alone, in a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Physical activity holds double the cardiovascular benefit for people with anxiety or depression

Regular physical activity had nearly doubled the cardiovascular benefit in individuals with depression or anxiety, compared with individuals without these diagnoses, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Daily coffee intake associated with benefits to heart health

Drinking coffee - particularly two to three cups a day - is not only associated with a lower risk of heart disease and dangerous heart rhythms but also with living longer, according to studies being presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Programmable button technology reduces the time for heart attack diagnosis

Shaving critical minutes off the time it takes to diagnose a heart attack and begin treatment could be as simple as the push of a button.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist use linked to improved renal prognosis in CKD patients

Just as a water filtration system acts to filter contaminants from the water you drink, your kidneys act to filter waste and excess fluid from your blood.

$Metabolic-immune interaction appears to be the cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction$

Metabolic-immune interaction appears to be the cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

The dominant form of heart failure worldwide appears to be caused by a strong, bidirectional interaction between the body's response to metabolic stress and the immune system, according to a review article written by UT Southwestern researchers and colleagues.

Predicting the risk of some common diseases in preimplantation fertilized embryos

A new study uses a novel strategy for whole-genome reconstruction by using parental genome sequencing and sibling embryo genotyping.

Researchers aim to study the underlying pathophysiology of diastolic heart failure

Of the estimated five million patients in the U.S. diagnosed with heart failure annually, nearly half will have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Also known as diastolic heart failure, HFpEF occurs when the heart's lower left chamber loses its ability to relax and fill up with enough blood in between in each heartbeat.

Sleeping with lights on can be harmful to your health

Acute exposure to artificial light during nighttime sleep can increase heart rate and insulin resistance by activating the sympathetic nervous system.

AI-enabled tool may make it easier to predict heart attack risk

Investigators from Cedars-Sinai have created an artificial intelligence-enabled tool that may make it easier to predict if a person will have a heart attack.

Study finds lesser number of female principal investigators in cardiovascular clinical trials

Despite recent efforts to improve women's leadership in cardiovascular clinical trial research over the last decade, the number of female principal investigators (PIs) still falls well below the number of males leading similar heart studies, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Study shows lack of scientific evidence in popular hypertension-related videos

Popular videos offering guidance for living with high blood pressure shared on TikTok frequently focus on alternative medicine and make claims that aren't backed by scientific evidence, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Women receive fewer life-saving heart procedures than men

In the first study to examine differences by sex and race in outcomes following the seven most common procedures for heart problems, researchers found that women are less likely to undergo these procedures- and even when women do receive these procedures, they are more likely than men to die while in the hospital, according to data that will be presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Study reveals how skin tone may affect the accuracy of heart data in wearables

Consumers are increasingly using smartwatches and other wearable devices to measure their heart rate and rhythm during exercise and for overall health monitoring.

Extreme heat events contribute to increase in heart disease deaths

Extreme heat accounted for about 600-700 additional deaths from cardiovascular disease annually over a decade-long period in the U.S., according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Heart attack survivors with depression more likely to suffer a stroke

Depression can complicate and slow recovery from a heart attack, not to mention the toll it can take on one's mental outlook, relationships and joy of life.

Study finds high rate of cognitive impairment after heart attack

A heart attack's impact on the brain may be more serious than previously understood. About 1 in 3 heart attack survivors showed significant mental decline in the days and months following their heart attack, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

23 Mar 2022

People living in noisy environment more likely to suffer a heart attack

Living in a noisy environment can be annoying, but it might also harm your health. People experiencing high levels of noise from cars, trains or planes were more likely to suffer a heart attack than people living in quieter areas, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Ignoring cholesterol and glucose levels at age 35 may impact the chances of getting Alzheimer's later

Living your best life at 35, ignoring cholesterol and glucose levels, may impact your chances of getting Alzheimer's disease (AD) later in life.
