“Hypertension is diagnosed when blood pressure on the artery walls is consistently too high. This condition can eventually damage cells of the arteries' inner lining, leading to angina, heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, kidney failure and other serious health problems.”

“It commonly occurs with aging and contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease, dementia, and stroke. Small vessel disease in the brain contributes to approximately 50 percent of dementia cases worldwide. Read full publication.”

“Cardiovascular disease is an umbrella term that includes coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke, among others. Together, these diseases are the primary cause of death among people living in the United States.”

“It has been shown to reduce the rate of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events by 25 percent compared to a placebo. Candidates for Vascepa therapy must have triglyceride levels of 150 milligrams per deciliter or higher.”

“The findings revealed that habitual tea drinkers were 22 percent less likely to die heart disease and stroke and were 15 percent less likely to die from all causes of premature death compared to non-habitual drinkers.”

“People who have certain neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or stroke, often exhibit low mood. Evidence suggests that inflammation plays a role in the pathogenesis of these neurological disorders and likely influences mood, as well.”

“Those receiving the combined treatment also experienced decreased cholesterol, triglycerides, and hsCRP (a marker of inflammation). However, the combined therapy did not reduce the residual risk of fatal and non-fatal stroke, coronary revascularization, and cardiovascular disease-related death.”

“High Lp(a) levels increase a person's risk for atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. A recent study found that alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA) both reduce Lp(a) concentrations in healthy men, but ALA is more effective at lowering cholesterol.”
