“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.”

“To understand why particle size matters (in the context of atherogenic dyslipidemia and heart disease), watch this video featuring @rhonda and Dr. Ronald Krauss. Dr. Ronald Krauss on LDL Cholesterol, Particle Size, Heart Disease & Atherogenic Dyslipidemia.”

“This was a surprise, because the effect on intelligence (IQ) was irrespective of age. Another study was able to experimentally demonstrate these enhancements of learning and memory in mice as well using a mouse version of this particular polymorphism.”

“Findings from a new study suggest that human heart health is dependent upon moderate-intensity endurance exercise, and its absence likely contributes to hypertensive heart disease. The structure and function of the heart's left ventricle are critical to heart health.”

“Adults with extreme obesity have increased risks of dying at a young age from cancer and many other causes including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney and liver diseases.”

“In observational studies, the benefits of omega-3 consumption were strongest for coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death, confirming previous reports.”

“Few therapies for the condition exist, but caloric restriction has been shown to improve disease status in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Increasing cellular levels of NAD+ mimics the effects of caloric restriction.”

“Low heart rate variability indicates greater fight-or-flight response by the autonomic nervous system and is associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk. Poor sleep is known to decrease heart rate variability.”

“Fat cell turnover stops in old age, resulting in a small drop off in the number of fat cells. This is why artificial weight loss through bariatric surgery—which "sucks out" fat cells—doesn't improve cardiometabolic outcomes including insulin resistance and risk factors for coronary heart disease.”

“Hemodialysis, a blood-filtering therapy for patients with kidney failure, saves lives, yet cardiovascular disease remains the dominant cause of death in this group. With few proven preventive options, researchers tested whether high-dose omega-3 supplementation could reduce major heart and vascular events in dialysis care.”
