مدينة روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا — إن السكر المضاف للأطعمة ليس مجرد سعرات حرارية مضافة، بل يمكن أن يكون له تأثيرات سامة مباشرة أيضًا، مثل تسوس الأسنان، وحتى خطر التعرض لأمراض القلب. من المهم تقليل كمية السكر المضاف في نظامك الغذائي. إلا إنك قد لا تدرك كمية السكر المضاف التي تستهلكه. وهذا لأن بعض الأطعمة التي لا تثير الريبة وتعتقد أنها صحية تحتوي على سكر مضاف.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with damaging protein aggregates in the brain, with β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregates called plaques being the key pathology. Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) is a combined neprilysin inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker, approved for the treatment of heart failure.
Nearly two in five U.S. adults have high cholesterol, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart defects – the most common birth defects in the United States – is associated with improved outcomes. Despite its importance, however, overall prevalence of prenatal diagnosis is low (12-50 percent). A recent multi-center study surveyed caretakers of infants who received congenital heart surgery in the Chicago area and found that social determinants or influencers of health constitute significant barriers to prenatal diagnosis from the patients’ perspective.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world according to the Global Burden of Disease study, with 18.6 million annual deaths in 2019, of which around 7.9 are attributable to diet. This means that diet plays a major role in the development and progression of these diseases.
The Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai has expanded its popular Virtual Second Opinion Program to women living with or at risk of developing heart disease, the nation’s leading cause of death in women.
Increased sedentary time in childhood can raise cholesterol levels by two thirds as an adult, leading to heart problems and even premature death - but a new study has found light physical activity may completely reverse the risks and is far more effective than moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
A type of cell that plays a crucial role in tissue repair after a heart attack may also inadvertently be why cutting-edge cell therapies cause an increased risk of rhythm disorders, according to a new study from the Universities of Surrey and Oxford.
An analysis of death certificate data from 1999 to 2020 showed a decline in deaths related to infective endocarditis throughout most of the United States yet found an alarming increase of 2%-5% among adults ages 25-44.
Smartwatches can help physicians detect and diagnose irregular heart rhythms in children, according to a new study from the Stanford School of Medicine.
