AbstractBackground and Aims. The associations between gastrointestinal diseases (GIs) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) were unclear. We conducted a prospective

Fountain Life, a health technology company, has developed an innovative artificial intelligence coronary artery scan that can detect heart conditions long before the emergence of...

New research published in Biological Psychology explores the relationship between psychopathic fearlessness and low defensive cardiac reactivity. According to the new findings, women with high scores in the psychopathic trait of fearlessness tend to exhibit reduced heart rate changes when faced with an intense and unexpected stimulus. But this relationship was not found among men.

The heatwave engulfing the northern hemisphere is set to intensify this week, causing overnight temperatures to surge and leading to an increased risk of heart attacks and deaths, the World Meteorological Organization said on Tuesday.

Special sensors in the handle can detect an irregular heartbeat that raises the risk of stroke.

In contrast to the current belief that cholesterol reduction with statins decreases atherosclerosis, we present a perspective that statins may be causative in coronary artery calcification and can function as mitochondrial toxins that impair muscle function in the heart and blood vessels through the …

Exclusive: Pharmaceutical firm says groundbreaking jabs could save millions of lives

Mobile phones have come a long way since the first ever cellphone call 50 years ago – they can even be used to help diagnose your health.

lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). We have assessed the value of LDL-C as a CVD risk factor, as well as effects of the LCD on other CVD risk factors. We have also reviewed findings that provide guidance as to whether statin therapy would be beneficial for individuals with high LDL-C on an LCD. Recent findings Multiple longitudinal trials have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the LCD, while also providing evidence of improvements in the most reliable CVD risk factors. Recent findings have also confirmed how ineffective LDL-C is in predicting CVD risk. Summary Extensive research has demonstrated the efficacy of the LCD to...

Most health experts say the trendy keto diet, which bans carbohydrates to make your body burn fat for fuel, cuts out healthy food such as fruit, beans and legumes and whole grains.

A man has credited his digital watch for pointing medics towards an undiagnosed heart condition. Author Adam Croft, 36, from Flitwick in Bedfordshire, awoke to find his Apple device had been alerting him throughout the night that his heart was in atrial fibrillation.

Brittany Williams' life nearly ended in 2014 in a restaurant in Times Square in New York City. At just 24, Williams went into cardiac arrest and lost consciousness. Two strangers jumped into action and gave Williams CPR for eight minutes, and after being put in a medical coma, she woke up in the hospital two days later.

Making specialized medical procedures possible anywhere in the world – that is what Christoff Heunis wants to accomplish with his start-up Flux Robotics. During his doctoral research, he developed a system that allows surgeons to place a cardiac catheter with the help of magnets. Next week, the company will take part in the international start-up event Slush in Helsinki. 

Researchers have discovered a 380-million-year-old heart preserved inside a fossilised prehistoric fish. They say the specimen captures a key moment in the evolution of the blood-pumping organ found in all back-boned animals, including humans. The heart belonged to a fish known as the Gogo, which is now extinct.

Health features don’t necessarily keep people healthier.

Microbiome-related metabolites, blood sugar, and inflammation appear more important than blood cholesterol in mediating heart disease due to meat intake.

The future of cardiac medicine involves tissue engineering. It includes the creation of a human heart for transplant. Researchers at Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created the first biohybrid model of beating cardiac cells aligned helically. This model demonstrated that muscle alignment does, in fact, significantly increase the amount of blood the ventricle can pump with each contraction.
