With exercise, does timing really matter? According to one new study, working out early in the day was linked to a lower risk of heart disease and healthier blood pressure levels than working out at any other point in the day.
Study participants who ate high amounts of ultra-processed foods were 66.8% more likely to experience a heart attack, stroke or cardiac arrest than those who did not.
A single injection of saNppa lipid nanoparticles enables self-amplification and high-yield pro-ANP production for more than 28 days. Circulating pro-ANP is selectively cleaved by the cardiac protease corin into active ANP, activating NPR1/cGMP signaling in the heart. Image courtesy of Science, Kaiyue Zhang et al.
Amplifying the body’s natural release of a specific hormone may reduce stress on the heart and limit long‑term damage after myocardial infarctions.

The Trilogy Transcatheter Heart Valve System is the first TAVR device approved by the FDA to treat severe aortic regurgitation. Until now, interventional cardiologists have had to settle for the off-label use of TAVR valves built for treating aortic stenosis.
Afnan Tariq, MD, discusses early data on a passive, device-agnostic AI platform for heart failure monitoring. “When clinicians are empowered with insights and able to act earlier, you're able to have a durable impact," he said.
A jury sentenced the former cardiovascular ICU nurse to death for intentionally murdering multiple heart patients. In one TV interview, he said the power associated with the murders became "an addiction" over time.
