“Push-up capacity had a stronger inverse association with heart disease than aerobic fitness estimated by a submaximal treadmill test.”

“The tendency of an atherosclerotic plaque to rupture is a part of heart disease risk that a simple count of plaques cannot capture. A new study examined how cardiovascular risk factors that can and cannot be changed relate to both plaque number and structure across the coronary arteries, the main vessels supplying the heart with blood.”

“These findings demonstrate that myocarditis in the setting of COVID-19 occurs due to SARS-CoV-2 infection of heart muscle cells and provide a unique model by which to study the disease. Learn more about COVID-19 in this new episode featuring Dr. Roger Seheult.”

“In the American Heart Association diet, about 55% to 65% of calories come from carbohydrates, 15% to 20% from fat, and 20% to 30% from protein. The findings from this small intervention study suggest that a modified Mediterranean ketogenic diet protects against Alzheimer's disease.”

“The participants' body temperature, heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, cardiac function, and respiration rate are closely monitored. Ironically, many whole-body hyperthermia treatments don't actually expose the whole body to high temperatures.”

“Findings from a 2019 study suggest that curcumin improves exercise tolerance in mice with heart failure via its activation of Nrf2. Heart failure, commonly referred to as the end stage of heart disease, affects more than 26 million people worldwide.”

“The amount of time a person sits during the day is associated with a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and death, regardless of regular exercise, according to a review study.”

“There have been a couple of studies that have found that vaping lowers the levels of several carcinogens linked to cancer compared to smoking but the jury is still out on heart disease risk.”

“After the training period, their fitness level was actually better than that of the untrained rats that hadn't had a heart attack," says Stølen. [...] > "We found that interval training improves a number of mechanisms that allow calcium to be pumped out of the cells and stored more efficiently inside the cells.”
