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.
El azúcar agregada en los alimentos no solo añade calorías adicionales, sino que también puede tener efectos tóxicos directos, como la caries dentaria e incluso el riesgo de desarrollar una enfermedad cardíaca.
O açúcar adicionado nos alimentos não só acrescenta calorias extras mas também pode ter efeitos tóxicos diretos, como cáries dentais e até o risco de doença cardíaca. Minimizar a quantidade de açúcar adicionado na dieta é algo muito importante.

The days of prolonged fasting prior to cardiac catheterization may be numbered, as the body of evidence grows to allow patients to eat before the procedure. A study at Indiana's Parkview Heart Institute finds allowing patients to eat a heart-healthy diet prior to the procedure posed no safety risk while improving their satisfaction.
The Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai has opened an Aortic Surveillance Clinic for the evaluation and long-term monitoring of patients with enlarged aortas, or aortic aneurysms, for whom surgery may not be necessary.
New research from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai found that women who developed signs of elevated blood pressure during pregnancy were more likely to have residual evidence of abnormal heart structure and function up to a decade after the pregnancy.
With the rise in machine learning applications and artificial intelligence, it's no wonder that more and more scientists and researchers are turning to supercomputers. Supercomputers are commonly used for making predictions with advanced modeling and simulations. This can be applied to climate research, weather forecasting, genomic sequencing, space exploration, aviation engineering and more.
Heart rates are easier to monitor today than ever before. Thanks to smartwatches that can sense a pulse, all it takes is a quick flip of the wrist to check your heart.
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.
Northwestern University researchers have developed the first physics-based metric to predict whether or not a person might someday suffer an aortic aneurysm, a deadly condition that often causes no symptoms until it ruptures.
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.
Cerebral organoids are three-dimensional, in vitro cultured brains that mimic the activities of the human brain. They have emerged as invaluable tools to comprehend evolution, disease pathogenesis, and neurodevelopmental processes. However, the development of these organoids is still in nascent stages with several limitations that hinder their broad applications. A major obstacle is the absence of a functional vasculature that can restrict the size of organoids, trigger cell death, and prevent cell differentiation in the organoids.
An artificial intelligence (AI) tool developed by investigators at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai and colleagues at two other institutions accurately predicted how patients would fare after surgeries and procedures.
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.
In a landmark study led by the University of Maryland School of Medicine, researchers discovered for the first time that a certain kind of protein similar to hemoglobin, called cytoglobin, plays an important role in the development of the heart.
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.
Childhood cancer survivors have a higher prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes, which increases their risk of serious disease but also offers opportunities for prevention.
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.
Published results of a large, national heart attack study show that patients with a life-threatening complication known as cardiogenic shock survived at a significantly higher rate when treated with a protocol developed by cardiologists at Henry Ford Health, in collaboration with 80 hospitals nationwide.
Renal dysfunction, especially chronic kidney disease, is the biggest risk factor of mortality among thrombolysed stroke patients, according to a retrospective cohort observational study published in Medicine®, a journal published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
