Researchers have identified an efficient and cost-effective two-step screening strategy that, compared to the current one-step approach, more accurately identifies which type 2 diabetics need treatment to prevent life-threatening heart failure, even th… Continue reading Two-step screening better identifies diabetics at risk of heart failure
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
Scientists have discovered a new mechanism for how type 2 diabetes takes hold, and demonstrated in mice that blocking a particular enzyme could open a new avenue of treatment for the disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Diabetes, Dia… Continue reading Scientists discover new “cause” for diabetes, opening new treatments
Far beyond concerns about waistlines, reaching for fatty foods during stressful times can actually impair our body’s ability to recover and can result in reduced brain oxygenation and poor vascular function.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbe… Continue reading Dire health warning for those reaching for fatty foods when stressed
The fact that eating less meat improves cardiovascular health is not a new revelation, but previous studies supporting this have often been hampered by confounding factors such as genetics, background and lifestyle. Now, scientists have removed many of… Continue reading Rare study on identical twins confirms vegan diet’s broad health boost
Inching forward bumper to bumper on a highway when you’re on the way to an appointment, or worse, the airport, is enough to spike anyone’s blood pressure (BP). But researchers have found that a BP surge occurs independent of external stressors, and it … Continue reading Sitting in traffic triggers a blood pressure surge that lasts 24 hours
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
Confirming what observational studies have long thought, a genetic study has shown that a grizzly bear’s body clock ticks away routinely, even when the animal is deep in hibernation. What’s more, proof of their circadian rhythms mirrors our own, except… Continue reading Circadian rhythm superpowers of bears may hold key to human health
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
A clinical trial has found that the cardiovascular benefits that the drug semaglutide affords to overweight or obese type 2 diabetics extend to those without diabetes as well. The study suggests that the drug offers a new way to reduce the potentially … Continue reading Ozempic drug found to reduce heart risk in overweight non-diabetics
