Lorundostat shows promise in lowering systolic blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, providing a new treatment option.

Regular blood pressure monitoring is crucial for preventing severe health issues, especially for those at risk.

Cardiovascular exercise has seen a significant decline in popularity as strength training gains traction, despite both being essential for overall health.

Kettlebells provide a versatile workout option that improves overall fitness, balance, and cardiovascular health with low joint impact.

Microplastics link to higher heart attack and stroke risks via arterial plaque accumulation.

Eli Lilly's experimental drug lepodisiran significantly reduces harmful Lp(a) levels in the blood, potentially aiding cardiovascular health.

Distress can trigger heart attacks, especially in women, by agitating the heart through excess catecholamine release, causing reduced blood vessel dilation and increased heart attack risk.

Depression and heart disease are linked, adversely affecting outcomes in both conditions.

Untreated depression notably increases the mortality risk for heart disease patients.

Stress-induced inflammation links unmanaged depression with heart disease.

Regular consumption of pecans may significantly lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Combining statins and ezetimibe could significantly reduce heart attack and stroke risks in patients.

Menopause and perimenopause significantly affect cardiovascular health due to hormonal changes, increasing heart disease risk.

Food insecurity in young adulthood increases midlife heart disease risk by 41%, highlighting the need for early intervention.

Strokes are increasingly affecting younger adults, with significant health awareness needed for prevention.

Consuming erythritol increases heart attack and stroke risk due to platelet activation, emphasizing the need for further research on sugar substitutes' cardiovascular safety.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is underdiagnosed and affects over 10 million Americans, with a mortality rate of 50%.

Health systems need improved screening and treatment for PAD.

Intermuscular fat increases the risk of heart attacks and heart failure, regardless of BMI.

Standing more does not improve cardiovascular health and may increase circulatory risks.

Sitting over 10 hours a day increases cardiovascular disease and orthostatic incidence risk.

DHRPS metric combines daily heart rate and steps to measure heart efficiency, predicting disease risk.

Oxygen treatment reduced cell activity but did not improve metabolic function in type 2 diabetes patients.

Daily brisk walking can greatly reduce the risk of serious diseases.

Cardiorespiratory fitness is a stronger predictor of mortality risk than body mass index (BMI).

Obese individuals who are fit have similar mortality risks as normal weight individuals who are fit.

Standing desks may not reduce heart disease risk and could worsen circulatory issues; movement throughout the workday is essential for health.

Recent studies show standing desks do not reduce cardiovascular disease risk despite the assumption they would.

Incorporating more movement throughout the day, rather than just standing, may promote better heart health.

Tennis may be one of the healthiest sports, promoting cardiovascular and mental health benefits.

Exposure during high-profile events like the U.S. Open can encourage public participation in sports.
