“Some of the health effects listed by the department due to lead exposure include decreased brain and kidney function, raised blood pressure, increased chances of having a heart attack or stroke, and for pregnant individuals, increased chances of a miscarriage and harm to a baby’s development before birth,” said Frank Selamie, President of CTSI. ...
Furthermore, Semaglutide has demonstrated the ability to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, in individuals with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease. ...
As we move towards the New Year, we’ll be anxiously awaiting the warming days of springtime. Well, most of us will anyway. Fortunately for many of us, and unfortunately for many others, it means flowers will be in bloom after spring rains and some of us will be suffering with seasonal allergic rhinitis, more commonly referred to as hay fever. It’s all about the coughing, the red ...
Mitochondria dysfunction has been tied to a host of diseases, ranging from neurodegenerative ailments, over heart attacks and strokes, to age-related degeneration. "Whilst Mitochondria have been known as disease targets for a long time, treating them has proven challenging", notes Dr. ...
If left untreated, this can lead to serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, obesity, eye disease, kidney disease and nerve damage. ...
” The product labels of all JAK inhibitors will be updated to include a precautionary approach for patients aged 65 years or above, those at increased risk of major cardiovascular problems (such as heart attack or stroke), those who smoke or have done so for a long time in the past and those at increased risk of cancer. ...
“This highly accurate plaque analysis is the foundation for our next-generation CT-derived fractional flow reserve analysis and provides patients and providers with a personalized measure of risk so that their treatment can be tailored to prevent cardiac events like heart attack and stroke.” Program sessions featuring Elucid’s technology ...

– July 12, 2022 – Ancora Heart, Inc., a company developing a novel device-based therapy to address heart failure, today announced that the U.S. ...
Severe peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is caused by the formation of blockages in arteries, which reduces blood supply to the brain, heart, kidneys and limbs causing strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure and limb amputations. ...
Specifically, the exquisite algorithms developed through machine learning characterize tissue types in the artery wall known to cause heart attacks, such as lipid rich necrotic core. The capability to discern complex plaque biology at the cellular and molecular level is powering new applications that can derive fractional flow reserve (FFRct), risk of heart ...

High blood glucose can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis and over time, to complications such as kidney disease/failure, eye disease (including vision loss), heart disease, stroke, nerve damage and even death. Due to the limitations and complexities of insulin delivery systems, it can be difficult to achieve and maintain balance in glucose control in people with ...

High levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream have been linked to atherosclerosis, heart disease and stroke. Monoglycerides and diglycerides are called partial glycerides. ...
Nearly one billion adults aged 30 to 69 years globally are estimated to suffer from OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea), which is a serious medical condition associated with health problems such as high blood pressure and increased risks of heart attack, stroke or death.1-10 Waha Capital is an Abu Dhabi listed investment management company and is one of the United ...
AF, characterized by an irregular and chaotic heartbeat (cardiac arrythmia), can lead to more serious health issues such as heart failure and stroke. During AF ablation, a specialized cardiologist known as an electrophysiologist inserts catheters through the blood vessels into the heart to burn or freeze that tissue that is causing abnormal ...
Plaque composition, specifically lipid-rich necrotic core, has been identified as a major contributor to heart attacks and strokes. A new multicenter study published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery this month by Brajesh Lal, MD, et al utilizing Elucid’s software concluded “a composite of plaque geometry, plaque tissue composition, patient ...
