Consume fish oil derivative for the protection of the health? New results of a recent study suggest that a purified fish oil derivative, which is already used in a specific prescription drug, cardiovascular can prevent events effectively. The drug from a fish oil derivative seems to be able to cardiovascular disease. The drug lowered the […]

Toilet seat that detects congestive heart failure getting ready to begin commercialization: Researchers developed the seats to measure biometrics during ‘natural’ processes
With 1 million new cases of congestive heart failure diagnosed each year, a revolutionary product is making it easier for hospitals to monitor patients with the condition in the comfort of their own homes. A toilet-seat based cardiovascular monitoring system created by a team of Rochester Institute of Technology researchers aims to lower the hospital […]
Novel electrocardiogram uses signals from ear and hand to check heart rhythm: The ECG not requiring two hands could be used by drivers, athletes, and the military
A novel electrocardiogram (ECG) method which uses signals from the ear and hand to check heart rhythm is revealed today at EHRA 2011 a European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress. The ECG does not require two hands and could be used by drivers, athletes, and the military. Study author Dr Raffaele De Lucia, of the […]
Heart researchers: the number of pushups indicates General health of the heart
Push-Ups for the heart “Show me how much push-UPS can you do and I will tell You how healthy you are”, could soon require, perhaps, a doctor in a diagnosis. Because a new long-term study of Harvard University shows a connection between the ability to have Push-Ups, and to develop the risk of heart disease. […]
Lipoproteins behave ‘almost like a tiny Velcro ball’: Genetics determines some proteins in HDL, but others are picked up by chance
Cholesterol carried in high-density lipoprotein particles, or HDL cholesterol, has been dubbed the good cholesterol, because people whose HDL levels are high have a lower risk of developing heart disease. That link was first established in 1977 and has been confirmed over and over in epidemiological studies. But in the past 15 years, a string […]
Analysis examines migraine’s link to higher stroke risk
Migraine with aura was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, but a recent post-hoc analysis published in Headache reveals unexpected results suggesting that onset of such migraines before age 50 years is not associated with such risk. Later onset of migraine with aura was linked with […]
Without red meat, the risk for heart disease drops in just 30 days
Why red meat has a negative impact on heart health Intestinal bacteria produce in the digestion of red meat substances, the cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke encourage. Who dispensed with his diet on red meat, can reduce these harmful substances within three to four weeks and thus also the risk for heart […]
Blood vessel function takes harmful hit from hookah tobacco smoking
Smoking hookah tobacco acutely impairs blood vessels’ ability to function, according to preliminary research to be presented in Chicago at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2018, a premier global exchange of the latest advances in cardiovascular science for researchers and clinicians. Hookah, also known as a waterpipe, consists of a bowl, a chamber partially […]
Why women receive less CPR from bystanders
Concerns about inappropriate contact or causing injury may help explain why bystanders are less likely to perform CPR on women — even “virtual” women — than on men who collapse with cardiac arrest, according to two studies presented at the American Heart Association’s Resuscitation Science Symposium 2018, an international conference highlighting the best in cardiovascular […]
Some heart patients ride roller coasters and other thrill-seeking activities despite warnings
Adults with an inherited thickening of the heart muscle, often don’t stop participating in thrill-seeking activities despite recommendations that they should. And while some experienced minor consequences, only a few suffered serious health effects as a result, according to preliminary research from an online survey to be presented in Chicago at the American Heart Association’s […]
