Researchers have developed a non-invasive, reusable ‘ECG vest’ that takes high-resolution images of the heart’s electrical activity in five minutes. Combining its data with cardiac MRI scans can better identify people at risk of future heart problems a… Continue reading ‘ECG vest’ provides high-res heart images that may predict future risk
New research shows that waiting too long in the day to have your first or last meal could have a negative impact on cardiovascular health. The study, which used data from 103,389 people, says that every hour counts when it comes to your mealtimes.Conti… Continue reading Earlier meal times linked to lower risk of cardiovascular disease

A new study has found that moderate increases in blood pressure and cholesterol have a greater impact on arterial plaque, or atherosclerosis, progression in 40-year-olds than in people over 48. The findings suggest that intervening to address these ris… Continue reading Younger people may be more vulnerable to arterial plaque risk factors
People with high blood pressure may soon be able to swap the daily pills for an injection every few months. A phase 2 clinical trial has shown that a drug called Zilebesiran can drastically reduce blood pressure for long periods of time with no side ef… Continue reading New drug given every few months reduces high blood pressure in trial
Gut health can dramatically affect whole-body health. One of the latest findings to support this idea shows that using an antibiotic to alter the bacteria in the guts of rats lessened the damage to the heart and kidneys sometimes seen with hypertension… Continue reading Popular antibiotic lessens organ damage caused by high blood pressure

While statin drugs are good at controlling plaques in blood vessels, they can’t eliminate them once they are established. But researchers may have just found a way to blast the circulatory system clean using a common nutrient found in many foods.Contin… Continue reading Common dietary nutrient blasts blood vessel plaques in study
There are a lot of research eyes on the development of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitors for cancer treatment right now, with several drugs currently in clinical trials and at least one in late-stage Phase III testing. But University of Cambridge sc… Continue reading Promising cancer drug may effectively treat gout and heart disease
A new study has found that healthy women risk future cardiovascular disease by reducing their sleep time by as little as one-and-a-half hours a night over the long term. The finding reinforces an important message: make sure you get enough sleep.Contin… Continue reading Mild long-term lack of sleep can increase women’s heart disease risk
