The Importance of Cardiovascular Prevention in the Future: The Role of Homecare
Cardiovascular prevention is entering a new era, with homecare playing a pivotal role in delivering personalized and accessible monitoring.
The Role of Central Blood Pressure in Cardiovascular Health
Central blood pressure (CBP), measured at the aorta, offers a more accurate representation of the pressure exerted on major organs than traditional brachial blood pressure.
Pulse Wave Velocity and Pregnancy: Implications for Maternal Cardiovascular Health
Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is a key indicator of arterial stiffness, playing an essential role in assessing the cardiovascular health of pregnant women.
Sleep Disorders and Arterial Stiffness: Cardiovascular Risks
The association between sleep disorders and cardiovascular risk has been demonstrated in numerous studies; as both a risk factor and a preventive measure, each aspect of sleep influences the likelihood of a cardiovascular event occurring.
Aging of Organs and Proteomics: A New Perspective
In a recent article, Dr. Éric TOPOL explores the emergence of organ protein clocks to predict and monitor aging, health, and organ-specific diseases. Three key studies are examined, highlighting how plasma proteins can reveal discrepancies between chronological age and biological age of organs, and how these discrepancies are associated with various health risks.
Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Risk
Most of the people when they think about physical activity they imagine exhausting sessions during which someone with a 2% body fat screams at you to finish the nth series of 100kg squats. Well, although this exists too, physical activity does not always have to be a pain.
Cardiovascular Diseases: The Storm Is Coming!
The landscape of cardiovascular diseases in the United States is witnessing the arrival of an almost perfect storm. The last decade has seen an increase in cardiovascular risk factors such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity, each of which raises the risk of developing heart disease and stroke, stated Dr. D. Kazi, head of health economics and associate director of the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology and director of the cardiac intensive care unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
Microbiota and cardiovascular health ?
What if someone would tell you that your cardiovascular health is linked to your microbiota? Interesting no? But wait, what is exactly the microbiota and how does this interact the cardiovascular system?
