The rate of maternal mortality related to cardiovascular causes more than doubled between 1999 and 2022 in the United States, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).

Compared with those who spent most of their time in a single room, people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who were able to travel outside of their home without assistance were significantly less likely to be hospitalized or die within a year, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25). The findings underscore the value of supporting holistic care and encouraging people with heart failure to maintain an active lifestyle and engage with others in their community to the extent possible, researchers said.

In addition to causing several types of cancer, human papillomavirus (HPV) appears to bring a significantly increased risk of heart disease and coronary artery disease, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).

After a cardiovascular event, it proves difficult to maintain a healthier, more active lifestyle over the long term. Although sedentary time decreases after participation in a cardiac rehabilitation lifestyle program, it regains within three months thereafter. Research from Radboud university medical center shows that a short remote booster program for chronic cardiovascular patients leads to a clear reduction in sedentary time and an increase in light physical activity, which lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases. 

Biomedical researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have decoded how mechanical forces drive cell behavior in fibrosis.
