“Glycation creates cross-links in long-lived proteins such as vascular and myocardial collagen, which can reduce tissue compliance over time and connect chronic metabolic exposure with cardiovascular aging. Exercise gives skeletal muscle another route for handling glucose.”

“Acute cognitive experiments likewise do not establish cardiovascular safety. Heart-rate, blood-pressure, vascular, dependence, sleep, and cancer-context risks must be weighed independently from a short attention effect.”

“People who are currently taking aspirin or have cardiovascular event risk factors should speak with their physician before changing their medication regimen. Interestingly, omega-3 fatty acids exert anti-clotting effects similar to those of aspirin.”

“In this FoundMyFitness interview clip, Dr. Peter Attia reviews randomized evidence that statins lower cardiovascular events. He discusses muscle symptoms and expectation effects; a blinded n-of-1 crossover trial found that symptom burden was similar during statin and placebo periods and higher than during no-tablet periods.”

“Findings presented in a recent report suggest that people with serious neuropsychiatric disorders have an increased risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is a large class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels, including stroke, hypertension, thrombosis, heart failure, atherosclerosis, and others.”

“Learn more in our overview article. These findings suggest that cardiovascular fitness protects against dementia in women. Learn more about the effects of cardiovascular fitness on brain health in this short video featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”

“The investigation involved more than 4,100 participants (aged 65 years and older) enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health Study. Participants provided detailed information about their demographics, dietary intake, and medical history, including cardiovascular events.”

“These types of foods are often high in unhealthy fats and refined sugars and low in beneficial fiber. Findings presented recently at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2019 suggest that high intake of ultra-processed food is associated with poor cardiovascular health.”

“Aging induces a number of disease-related changes to the cardiovascular system, including dysfunction of the endothelial cells that line blood vessels. Eating fruits and vegetables, which are rich in a variety of beneficial bioactive compounds, may slow cardiovascular aging.”

“Although COVID-19 commonly presents as a respiratory infection, the illness targets multiple organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. In one study, patients with cardiac injury accounted for nearly one-fourth of severe cases of COVID-19.”
