Rare condition that stunts growth also reduces heart attack risk – Islander News.com

Posted: Published on April 30th, 2024

(Photo by Louis Bauer via Pexels) By Stephen Beech via SWNS People with an ultra-rare condition that stunts growth are less likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke, suggests new research. The few hundred patients worldwide with growth hormone receptor deficiency (GHRD) - also known as Laron syndrome - also appear to at lower risk of cardiovascular disease, say scientists. They believe that drugs that cause similar effects could reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke - and could even extend how long people live. Continue reading

Combined effect of poverty and inflammation on mortality is worse than expected from separate effects, study reports – News-Medical.Net

Posted: Published on January 19th, 2024

In a recent study published in Frontiers in Medicine, a group of researchers investigated whether the combination of chronic inflammation and poverty synergistically increases the 15-year risk of mortality from all causes, heart disease, and cancer in American adults aged 40 and older. Systemic inflammation is linked to the development of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, metabolic, renal, and oncologic conditions, significantly impacting morbidity and mortality. Low-grade inflammation is particularly relevant to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, and associated risk factors Continue reading
