Doctors were hopeful the drug, which was being tested in a large clinical trial by Novartis, was going to be a powerful new tool to fight heart disease.
L’athérosclérose, qui correspond à l’accumulation de plaques graisseuses dans les artères, est un facteur de risque majeur d’infarctus et d’accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC). Un des signes avant-coureurs de cette maladie pourrait se manifester au niveau des yeux, alertent des chercheurs.
99 % des infarctus et des AVC survenus dans une cohorte de plus de neuf millions d'adultes ont été précédés d'au moins un facteur de risque parmi quatre. L'idée d'un accident cardiaque qui frappe sans prévenir en sort ébranlée. Une autre étude nuance toutefois le tableau, en particulier chez les...
A study suggests that genetic factors may explain why LDL cholesterol rises sharply in some people who follow a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. Two people can follow the same low-carbohydrate diet and experience very different changes in cholesterol. One may see little difference, while the other develops a sharp increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. New [...]
In a six-month study, people with obesity who ate an avocado each day lowered their blood levels of “bad” cholesterol particles. Adding one avocado to a person’s daily diet may modestly improve a blood marker linked to heart disease. In a study of adults with obesity, researchers at the Penn State Department of Nutritional Sciences [...]
Mot oublié, clés introuvables, rendez-vous qui s'efface… Après 60 ans, ces petits ratés font parfois resurgir une peur sourde : et si c'était le début de la démence ? Bonne nouvelle, une partie du risque se joue dans des gestes parfaitement ordinaires. Voici les sept habitudes du quotidien à...
A 113-million-year-old pterosaur fossil from northeastern Brazil has yielded rare evidence of soft tissues, organic molecules and chemical traces of a diet heavy in fish and cephalopods such as squid or nautilus relatives.
Le cholestérol tue encore trop silencieusement en France, où les maladies cardiovasculaires restent la deuxième cause de mortalité. Pourtant, l'alimentation reste le levier le plus immédiat pour agir. Un cardiologue américain a récemment pointé trois aliments du quotidien qui sabotent nos...
New ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines promote earlier detection, personalized risk assessment, and more aggressive LDL cholesterol lowering to reduce long-term cardiovascular disease risk. For decades, cholesterol management has been a cornerstone of heart disease prevention. Yet despite widespread awareness, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and millions of adults continue to have cholesterol [...]
