Deleting a protein could prevent heart attacks and strokes in humans

Macrophages travel through our arteries, gobbling fat the way Pac-man gobbled ghosts. But fat-filled macrophages can narrow blood vessels and cause heart disease.

Spirituality can have a positive impact on quality of life for heart failure patients

Numerous studies have shown that spirituality can help improve quality of life for people with chronic diseases like cancer.

A cluster of cells in the brainstem found to control the body's response to severe blood loss

University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have discovered a cluster of cells in the brainstem that controls the body's response to severe blood loss, a finding which could benefit efforts to develop new treatments for traumatic injuries.

Study finds fewer hospital visits for stroke in first year of COVID-19 pandemic

The first year of the COVID-19 pandemic saw fewer hospital visits for stroke, fewer stroke therapies, more treatment delays and a higher risk of in-hospital deaths in the subsequent COVID-19 waves, according to an Alberta study published in CMAJ.

New approach to help low- and middle-income countries reduce premature mortality from NCDs

Most of the world's countries have made little progress towards a target adopted by the United Nations in 2015, which called for the world to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases by a third by 2030.

Reduced kidney function caused by antithrombotic therapy can influence bleeding events

Antithrombotic therapy is prescribed to prevent thrombotic (blood clotting inside a blood vessel) events but the treatment also increases the likelihood of experiencing a bleeding event, which can be extremely serious if it occurs in a vital organ.

New project to bring high-quality fetal ultrasound to developing countries

Northwestern Medicine and Google are collaborating on a project to bring fetal ultrasound to developing countries by combining AI (artificial intelligence), low-cost hand-held ultrasound devices and a smartphone.

Older people taking statins have lower chance of developing parkinsonism later, study suggests

Parkinsonism is a term for a group of neurological conditions that cause movement problems including tremors, slowed movement and stiffness, with Parkinson's disease being one of the better knowns causes.

Black and Hispanic individuals less likely to receive bystander CPR for a cardiac arrest

Black and Hispanic individuals who experience a witnessed cardiac arrest at home or in public are substantially less likely than white individuals to receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from a bystander, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

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.
