Swimming matched running for fitness gains but delivered greater heart growth and more favorable molecular changes, making it potentially more beneficial for cardiovascular health. For decades, swimming and running have been considered two of the best forms of aerobic exercise for cardiovascular health. But new research suggests they may not strengthen the heart in exactly [...]

The cardioprotective effects of heart failure treatments in patients with cancer were demonstrated today in a presentation at ESC Cardio-Oncology 2026, the annual conference of the European Society of Cardiology's Council of Cardio-Oncology.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes affect hundreds of millions of people around the world. These conditions are known for causing problems with blood sugar and body weight, but their effects reach far beyond that. People with obesity and type 2 diabetes also have a much higher risk of developing heart disease, strokes, and other serious […] The post These drugs Can Protect Blood Vessels in Obesity and T…

Artificial intelligence is already changing the way people search for information, translate languages, and communicate. Now, researchers believe the same technology could also help doctors detect heart disease. Heart disease affects hundreds of millions of people around the world and remains one of the leading causes of death. According to global estimates, nearly 18 million […] The post AI coul…

Treating high blood pressure seems simple in theory. Doctors diagnose the condition, prescribe medicines, and expect blood pressure to improve. In reality, controlling hypertension is often much more complicated. High blood pressure is frequently called a silent killer because it can quietly damage the body for years without causing noticeable symptoms. The condition greatly increases […] The pos…

As people grow older, changes occur throughout the body. Some cells become damaged by stress, disease, environmental exposures, or simply the aging process itself. Normally, damaged cells either repair themselves or die. But some cells enter a state known as senescence, where they stop dividing but remain alive. Scientists have become increasingly interested in these […] The post Study Finds a Hi…

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is one of the most common health conditions in the world.

One of the biggest problems with high blood pressure is that it often develops […] The post Which Blood Pressure Pill Is Safer? Study of 730,000 People Re…

BackgroundWhile fucoidans show anti-atherosclerotic potential, their impact on this gut-host axis is unclear. This study investigated the effects of Fucus vesiculosus fucoidan, alone and combined with simvastatin, on gut microbiota and metabolome in an atherosclerotic rabbit model that closely recapitulates key features of human atherosclerotic pathogenesis.MethodsAtherosclerosis was induced in N…

BackgroundCytochrome P450 family two subfamily C member 19 (CYP2C19) loss-of-function (LOF) variants may influence clopidogrel response after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but their prognostic relevance within combined clinical and procedural risk assessment remains incompletely defined. This study aimed to evaluate the association between CYP2C19 functional phenotype and major advers…

A cross-University paper led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London, published in the Journal of Physiology shows how better 'digital twins' could help doctors treating people with Atrial Fibrillation.

Scientific Reports, Published online: 18 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41598-026-58424-y High-salt/hyperosmotic stress induces cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

TAVR has been among the default therapies for aortic stenosis patients for years now, but new 10-year data from the PARTNER 2A trial and the P2S3i Sapien 3 registry suggests that how long a valve will last depends heavily on the valve’s generation. To evaluate durability at the 10-year mark, both the PARTNER 2A and […] The post Ten Year TAVR Data and Why Valve Generations Matter appeared first on…

Most people have heard the expression “dying of a broken heart.” While it sounds like a figure of speech, doctors know that a real medical condition called broken-heart syndrome does exist.
