|  | | | | |  Why the same healthy diet may not work the same way for everyone A review published in Nutrients proposes a seven-pillar precision nutrition framework that combines biological, behavioral, and environmental information to tailor dietary interventions throughout life. The authors identify potential benefits for cardiovascular, respiratory, blood, and sleep health, while emphasizing the need for further clinical trials to establish effective, accessible, and personalized nutritional strategies. | |  | | | | |  A pigment found in spinach helped build a squeezable heart patch The study reveals chlorophyll's role in creating highly compressible hydrogels, paving the way for advanced cardiac patches in minimally invasive surgeries. | | | | | | |  Nearly 400,000 adults, six body measurements, and a surprising result for heart attack risk A UK Biobank study involving 395,831 adults found that a higher body roundness index (BRI) was associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction over a median follow-up of 13.3 years. BRI showed slightly better predictive performance than BMI and four other anthropometric measures, although the improvements were modest and require independent validation before clinical adoption. | |

|  | | |  Researchers analyzed healthcare records from more than 2.3 million children in California and found that those living in counties with higher lithium concentrations in water sources had 60% higher adjusted odds of a Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) diagnosis. A separate New York analysis supported an association at a lower lithium threshol | | | | |  When replacing the aortic valve, a small aortic root can limit the size of the prosthetic valve that can be implanted. | | | | |  Exercise should be prescribed as a foundational component of cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and treatment, according to a new American College of Cardiology Scientific Statement published today in JACC, its flagship journal. | | | | |  Cardiac troponin, a protein released into the blood when heart muscle is damaged, can be used as a quick measure of heart injury in adults, and testing for it has revolutionized adult cardiology. For children, however, doctors often lack data on normal troponin measurements. | | | | |  Despite sustained declines in overall cardiovascular disease mortality in the U.S., disparities based on race, ethnicity and place still persist, with mortality varying far more across counties than states, according to a county-by-cause-by-population analysis published in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology (ACC). | |
