It’s unclear whether the danger of cancer related to a better body mass index (BMI) varies across individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). A recent BMC Medicine study analyzed the joint and individual correlations of CVD/T2D and BMI with cancer risk. Study: Body mass index and cancer risk amongst adults with and […]
In a recent study published in Circulation, researchers estimate the change within the severe heat-related cardiovascular mortality burden in the US.

In a recent study published within the journal Nature Cardiovascular Research, researchers reported that the increased long-term risk of acute cardiovascular complications related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is linked to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infecting coronary vessels and inducing the formation of plaques. Study: SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers pro-atherogenic inflammatory responses in […]
A recent study published in Addiction evaluated the associations of cannabis use disorder (CUD) with heart problems (CVD) outcomes.

Positive mind and social connection key to recovering from heart problems Supporting the mental health and wellbeing of over 4 million people in Australia living with heart problems (CVD) is crucial to them avoiding further heart attacks or strokes. That’s the message this World Heart Day (Friday, September 29) from the Heart Foundation because it […]
Higher stroke risk amongst females with atrial fibrillation could also be related to sex-based disparities in cardiovascular care, based on a brand new study from Women’s College Hospital, the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre (PMCC) at University Health Network (UHN) and ICES. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a typical style of irregular heart rhythm that’s related to […]
The American Heart Association (AHA) recently issued latest cardiovascular health (CVH) measurements which can be collectively described as Life’s Essential 8 (LE8). As in comparison with Life’s Easy 7 (LS7), LE8 also includes sleep health as an extra behavioral metric of CVH. In a recent study posted to the medRxiv preprint server, researchers determine the […]
Major hostile cardiovascular events (MACE) through heightened stress-related neural network activity (SNA) are related to chronic stress. Previous research has shown that light or moderate alcohol consumption (ACl/m) could possibly be correlated with lower MACE risk, although the precise mechanisms remain unclear. A recent Journal of the American College of Cardiology study evaluates whether the association […]
In a recent study published within the JAMA Network Open Journal, researchers examined the utilization of wearable devices amongst individuals who’ve or are in danger for heart problems (CVD). Study: Use of Wearable Devices in Individuals With or at Risk for Cardiovascular Disease within the US, 2019 to 2020. Image Credit: LordBeard/Shutterstock.com Background Wearable devices are being […]
