“Those receiving the combined treatment also experienced decreased cholesterol, triglycerides, and hsCRP (a marker of inflammation). However, the combined therapy did not reduce the residual risk of fatal and non-fatal stroke, coronary revascularization, and cardiovascular disease-related death.”

“When deaths from non-heart causes were added, total events were still 23% lower in the fish-oil group. Each major cardiovascular outcome occurred less often with fish oil, rather than the benefit being driven by one type of event.”

“Other evidence indicates that high-intensity interval training (HIIT)'s cardiovascular benefits rival or surpass those of traditional aerobic exercise. Learn more about the benefits of HIIT in this episode featuring Dr. Martin Gibala.”

“Exposure to phthalates is associated with increased risk of adverse health effects, including a wide range of chronic disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, melanoma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.”

“Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death of people living in the United States (US). Having elevated (abnormal) triglyceride levels may contribute to atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.”

“Plant-derived nitrates are being recognized for their importance in cardiovascular health due to their role in maintaining nitric oxide levels. This perspective emphasizes the need to view dietary nitrates as potentially essential nutrients under certain conditions, such as systemic inflammation or when endogenous production is insufficient.”

“EPA supplementation reduced multiple markers of vascular inflammation; however, neither treatment improved markers of atherosclerosis. The authors concluded the high-dose omega-3 supplementation can reduce vascular inflammation at early and late stages of cardiovascular disease.”

“Cardiovascular disease is an umbrella term that encompasses coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, hypertension, and other conditions. Together, they are the primary cause of death worldwide, claiming the lives of nearly 18 million people every year.”

“However, findings from a recent study suggest that consumption of refined grains increases a person's risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Refined grains are processed to remove the bran and germ, imparting a finer texture to the grains and extending their shelf life.”

“However, a recent study found that creatine supplementation restores aspects of cardiovascular function, including blood vessel flexibility and efficiency, in older adults. Researchers conducted a small pilot study involving 12 sedentary but healthy older adults.”
