More is better than less when it comes to physical activity and cardiovascular disease

In this interview, we speak to Esmée Bakker about her latest research which investigated the impact physical activity has on cardiovascular disease.

			Basic health beliefs and demographics associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease Minnesota has the lowest age-adjusted heart disease mortality in the U.S.; yet, African American adults 35 to 63 have nearly double the rate of death from cardiovascular disease, compared to their white counterparts.

			First-responder cells launching the repair after heart attack promote inflammation overdrive First-responder cells launching the repair after a heart attack are so frantic about fixing the damage that they promote more inflammation than necessary, new research in mice suggests.

	Psychotropic drugs are commonly used by patients with heart disease, study shows Antidepressants and other psychiatric medications are associated with an almost doubled risk of premature death in patients with heart conditions, according to research published today in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

	AI could lead to better ways to predict the onset and course of cardiovascular disease For the first time, University of Utah Health scientists have shown that artificial intelligence could lead to better ways to predict the onset and course of cardiovascular disease.

	Risk factors affect cardiovascular disease risk even in patients with no coronary artery calcium Among patients with no detectable coronary artery calcium, those who smoke, have diabetes or hypertension nonetheless have the highest risk of cardiovascular disease events, according to a study published in the journal Circulation.

	Switching to smokeless tobacco associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk in smokers Regular smokers are at heightened risk of developing cardiovascular disease, but crushing the butts in favor of a "smokeless" alternative like chewing tobacco, snuff or tobacco lozenges may go a long way toward bringing the danger down to a more normal level, a new UCLA-led study shows.

	Breastfeeding linked to reduced cardiovascular disease risk in mothers Women who breastfed were less likely to develop heart disease or a stroke, or die from cardiovascular disease than women who did not breastfeed, according to a meta-analysis published today in a pregnancy spotlight issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA), an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.
