Heart strain scans help spot hidden heart failure risk

Over 7.6 years, each 1% absolute decrease in heart strain was linked to a 13% higher risk of heart failure hospitalization or death.Over 7.6 years, each 1% absolute decrease in heart strain was linked to a 13% higher risk of heart failure hospitalization or death.

Higher arterial load linked to brain shrinkage and worse thinking

In an analysis of 21,673 UK Biobank participants, higher arterial load was associated with lower cognitive scores, with hippocampal shrinkage mediating about 20% of the…In an analysis of 21,673 UK Biobank participants, higher arterial load was associated with lower cognitive scores, with hippocampal shrinkage mediating about 20% of the relationship.

Exercise or drugs improved heart function in aging mice

A nine-month randomized experiment in 12-month-old mice compared exercise (11 mice), two drugs (15), both (16) and natural aging (12); the interventions improved heart…A nine-month randomized experiment in 12-month-old mice compared exercise (11 mice), two drugs (15), both (16) and natural aging (12); the interventions improved heart performance.

Mice given aerobic exercise, senolytics, or both combined for 9‐months display superior myocardial function to naturally aged mice.
