What Is CKM Syndrome? CKM syndrome is a systemic disorder characterized by reduced function in the kidneys, metabolism, and heart. By defining the syndrome, the AHA aims to highlight the interconnected nature of obesity, insulin resistance, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease; increase prevention; and encourage health care providers across different specialties to work together […]

Cardiovascular deaths caused by extreme heat are expected to grow nationwide in the U.S. between 2036 and 2065. That’s according to a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Researchers, who published their work in the journal Circulation, predict that adults 65 and older, and Black adults will likely be disproportionately affected.  Currently, heat only […]

Patients receive unnecessary coronary stents during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures at an alarming rate, according to a new report from the Lown Institute. The analysis included approximately 1 million stent procedures performed at more than 1,700 U.S. hospitals and outpatient facilities from 2019 to 2021. Stents were deemed unnecessary if the patient was diagnosed […]

The number of heat related cardiovascular deaths in the United States will increase over the next four decades, according to a new analysis from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Extreme heat can impact heart health in many ways, including increased heart rate, changes in blood pressure, and increased inflammation. Left […]

(via NewsDirect) By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 18 million deaths annually. That amounts to about one-third of all global deaths. Driven by epigenetics and artificial intelligence, what is being referred to as Precision Cardiovascular Medicine could help alleviate the burden of heart disease on […]

The Global Coalition on Aging (GCOA) has teamed up with local leaders to launch a community health initiative in Baltimore focused on addressing cardiovascular disease. Dubbed engAGE with Heart, the program claims to be the first of its kind and leverages six community partners in east and west Baltimore—four churches and two senior centers. Supported […]

Cardiovascular-related deaths due to extreme heat are expected to increase between 2036 and 2065 in the United States, according to a new study published on Monday. The study, supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, predicts that adults ages 65 and older and Black adults will likely be disproportionately affected. While extreme heat currently […]

Cardiovascular deaths in the U.S. from extreme heat are projected to double or triple by mid-century if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced. In nationwide projections, elderly and black adults are most at risk for cardiovascular death due to extreme heat, finds a new study in the journal, Circulation. Cardiovascular deaths from extreme heat in […]

Climate change could dramatically increase cardiovascular deaths tied to extreme heat in the coming years, according to new research conducted by the University of Pennsylvania. The study used recent data to predict the number of cardiovascular deaths associated with extreme heat in the U.S. from 2036 to 2065. Its researchers concluded that those deaths could climb […]
