A cardiovascular researcher at the University of Central Florida has developed a revolutionary drug delivery system using targeted microscopic bubbles that could dramatically improve how heart disease is treated. The innovation addresses a major flaw in current treatments: doctors can't be sure medications actually reach the diseased heart tissue.
New research shows that 90% of American adults have some form of metabolic syndrome, but doctors say simple lifestyle changes can prevent or reverse the damage before it leads to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
A breakthrough technique reveals hundreds of tiny "dark proteins" scientists never knew existed, opening new paths to understanding and treating heart disease. This global effort to map the body's hidden proteome is transforming how researchers approach human health.
Researchers have discovered a crucial clue explaining why people with chronic kidney disease face such high rates of heart failure. This breakthrough could transform how doctors diagnose and treat two of the world's most common health conditions.
Scientists in Japan discovered a natural compound in pomegranate leaves that can actually dissolve harmful protein clumps causing a deadly heart and nerve disease. The breakthrough could lead to treatments that reverse damage, not just slow it down.
A Nashville family transformed their annual Kentucky Derby party into a powerful fundraiser after their daughter was diagnosed with an incurable nerve disease. Last year alone, they raised $75,000 for research into Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
A routine eye test already used for diabetes patients could catch heart disease years earlier. Researchers found that eye photos reveal hidden heart problems before symptoms appear.
Scientists at Stanford, MIT, and Cambridge are using Google DeepMind's Co-Scientist AI to accelerate breakthroughs in liver disease, aging, and infectious diseases. The system helps researchers digest decades of studies in days, spotting connections humans might miss.
Researchers discovered 200 new genes that increase the risk of aortic stenosis, a heart valve condition affecting 9 million people worldwide with no current treatment. The breakthrough could lead to early screening and the first drugs to slow or stop the disease.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
Scientists tested a compound that tackles both type 2 diabetes and heart disease in mice, reducing dangerous cholesterol and inflammation without needing weight loss. The experimental drug could offer hope for millions at risk of the world's leading killer.
Heart disease deaths fell by 25,000 between 2022 and 2023, reversing pandemic-era increases. The decline shows that prevention strategies are working, and experts say simple daily habits could save even more lives.
Women who survived heart disease will model in a special fashion show that raises awareness and funds to fight the leading killer of women. The Metro Jackson event shines a light on a health crisis that many women don't know threatens them most.
A sports club in Northern Ireland collected over £4,600 for the British Heart Foundation during their Christmas Eve street fundraiser. The generous donations from the Roslea community will fund life-saving heart disease research.
A new AI-powered stethoscope detected dangerous heart valve problems in older adults with 92% accuracy, nearly doubling what traditional doctor exams could catch. The breakthrough could save thousands of lives by spotting heart disease before symptoms become severe.
Routine mammograms could soon screen for both breast cancer and heart disease in a single appointment. New research shows calcium deposits spotted in breast arteries predict cardiovascular risk with surprising accuracy.
Researchers paired artificial intelligence with simple heart tests to detect heart failure early in nearly 6,000 patients across Kenya, where expensive diagnostic equipment is scarce. The technology caught warning signs with over 99% accuracy using tools clinics already have.
Scientists just pinpointed a microscopic protein region that keeps hearts beating steadily, opening doors to future treatments for devastating heart conditions. The breakthrough could help millions born with or developing life-threatening heart rhythm problems.
Researchers in Hong Kong discovered that combining advanced imaging with a diabetes drug slashes heart death rates for high-risk patients. The breakthrough offers new hope for millions living with both diabetes and heart disease.
Scientists are testing a one-time treatment that could protect people from heart disease forever. Early results show dramatic drops in cholesterol after a single infusion.
