Diabetes- and CVD-Related Mortality Rise after Steady 10-Year Decline

While the overall age-adjusted mortality rate for diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) declined between 1999 and 2019, researchers found an average annual 1% increase since 2014. Following a decade-long decrease in diabetes- and CVD–related mortality, new research published in The American Journal of Medicine shows this trend has reversed. According to the study, the overall […]

Ceramides as risk markers for future cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in long-standing type 1 diabetes

Ceramides are lipid molecules involved in inflammation-related signaling. Recent studies have shown that higher amounts of specific circulating ceramides and their ratios are associated with future development of cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). We examined the associations between serum ceramide levels with CVD, kidney failure, and all-cause mortality in individuals with longstanding type 1 diabetes (T1D). […]

Artificial intelligence may play a key role in identifying the risk of cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of death in Sweden and in the world. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, among others, have now found that artificial intelligence seems to play a role in identifying the risk of cardiovascular disease. The study, published in Cardiovascular Research, may in the future lead to […]

These Unhealthy Food Habits May Lead To Cardiovascular Disease

Consumption Of Fried And Fatty Foods Indulging in fried and fatty foods on a regular basis, such as fried chicken, potato chips, and deep-fried snacks, can have detrimental effects on cardiovascular health. These foods are high in unhealthy trans fats and saturated fats, which raise cholesterol levels, contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, and heighten […]

Heart health: Vigorous weekend activity may have same impact as regular exercise

Share on PinterestThe amount of exercise one does in a week might have more benefits for heart health than its frequency. Manu Prats/Stocksy Physical activity is beneficial for cardiovascular well-being; however, getting regular physical activity throughout the week may be difficult. A​ recent study found that regular moderate to vigorous physical activity during the week […]

Cause of sleep disturbance in cardiac disease identified: Ganglia play previously unrecognized role
