Higher-Normal Sodium Levels Linked to Increased Hypertension and Heart Failure Risk
A Bar-Ilan University study of 407,000 healthy adults found a 13% higher hypertension risk and a 20% higher heart failure risk for those with sodium levels of 140-142 mmol/L, suggesting that adequate hydration is crucial for cardiovascular health and challenging existing understandings of normal sod...

Genetic Adaptations Allow South Korean Haenyeo to Withstand Extreme Diving Conditions
A study of South Korean haenyeo, female free divers, reveals physiological and genetic adaptations enabling them to withstand frigid waters and prolonged dives; two genes linked to cold tolerance and blood pressure regulation appear to contribute to their resilience and lower stroke risk.

Daytime Eating May Counteract Cardiovascular Risks of Night Shift Work
A study of 20 healthy young adults simulating night shift work found that eating only during daylight hours stabilized cardiovascular risk factors (plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 and blood pressure), unlike those who also ate at night, suggesting meal timing's crucial role in mitigating heal...

Air Pollution Accelerates Aging, Increases Atherosclerosis Risk: Study
A University of Athens study, presented at the American College of Cardiology's annual meeting, found air pollution shortens telomeres, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of atherosclerosis in 400 participants; researchers suggest cleaner transportation and urban environments as solutions.

CAC Score: A Crucial Tool for Early Heart Disease Detection
A coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, obtained via a low-dose CT scan, measures calcium buildup in heart arteries to assess heart disease risk; scores above 400 indicate high risk, while a score of zero suggests very low risk, guiding preventative measures.

Early Detection of Coronary Artery Disease: Risk Assessment and Prevention
Coronary artery disease (CAD) often starts with fatty plaque buildup, increasing heart attack risk. Online risk calculators and CAC scans help assess risk, with higher scores indicating greater danger. Doctors recommend lifestyle changes and further testing based on individual risk factors.
