“The results revealed striking sex differences in how heart attacks occur: Among the 1,474 heart attacks, about two-thirds were caused by atherosclerotic disease. The rest involved oxygen-supply problems or other non-atherosclerotic mechanisms.”

“Coronary artery disease, a cardiovascular condition characterized by the gradual buildup of plaque within the heart's arteries, is the third leading cause of death worldwide, claiming the lives of nearly 18 million people each year.”

“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.”

“One month of dawn-to-dusk fasting decreases proteins that drive atherosclerosis, heart disease, and cancer in people who have metabolic syndrome, a recent study has found. People who fasted also lost weight and saw improvements in their metabolic and cardiovascular health.”

“Current "heart-healthy" nutritional guidelines recommend replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats, based on evidence that doing so reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Findings from a 2016 study suggest that these guidelines were established on incomplete evidence.”

“A ketone ester diet exhibits anxiolytic and cognition-sparing properties, and lessens amyloid and tau pathologies in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. SIRT3 mediates hippocampal synaptic adaptations to intermittent fasting and ameliorates deficits in APP mutant mice.”

“Emerging evidence suggests that COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, elicits a wide range of cardiovascular-related complications, including myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), ventricular failure, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and others.”

“The study involved nearly 2,300 middle-aged men enrolled in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study, an ongoing study of heart disease risk factors among men and women living in Finland.”

“The researchers found that correcting less than half of the heart muscle cells was enough to rescue cardiac function to near-normal levels in the heart tissue. Duchenne muscular dystrophy leads to degeneration of skeletal and heart muscles.”

“Coronary artery disease is a cardiovascular condition characterized by the gradual buildup of plaque within the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This narrowing of the arteries can result in chest pain (angina), heart attacks, and impaired heart function, posing a considerable risk to cardiovascular health.”
