“However, when they focused on participants who had never smoked tobacco and only used cannabis, the findings were even more striking. Daily cannabis users who had never used tobacco were 49 percent more likely to experience a heart attack and 116 percent more likely to have a stroke.”

“Cardiovascular disease: The brightest nights were associated with 32% greater coronary artery disease risk, 47% greater myocardial infarction risk, 56% greater heart failure risk, 32% greater atrial fibrillation risk, and 28% greater stroke risk.”

“Counties with very high levels of marine microplastics had notably higher rates of all three cardiometabolic diseases than counties with low levels. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 18% higher, coronary artery disease was 7% higher, and stroke was 9% higher, even after accounting for other risk factors.”

“People who took semaglutide or tirzepatide had a 37% lower risk of dementia, a 19% lower risk of stroke, and a 30% lower likelihood of dying during the study period than those on other antidiabetic drugs.”

“These findings do not make resistance training a replacement for aerobic exercise. The review measured intermediate physiological outcomes rather than heart attacks, strokes, or cardiovascular mortality, and every randomized trial was rated at high risk of bias.”

“The participants with low vitamin D concentrations were more likely to have lower brain volumes, an increased risk for dementia and stroke, and more white matter hyperintensities (brain lesions that indicate small vessel disease) than those with high concentrations.”

“In cardiovascular disease, exosome analysis may be a diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, and stroke.”

“He discusses his surprise that omega-3 supplementation, which has been shown to reduce stroke risk — a clinical outcome of concern when it comes to atrial fibrillation — would be associated with it at all.”

“She reviews an observational UK Biobank analysis that associated regular fish oil use with a higher transition from healthy status to atrial fibrillation or stroke, while also reporting different associations after cardiovascular disease was present.”

“A very high dose of purified EPA fish oil (4g/day) for 5 years reduced heart attacks and strokes by 25% compared to placebo in a multinational randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial involving over 8,000 patients with high triglycerides (called the REDUCE-IT trial).”
