A 2025 study backed by the National Institute for Health and Care Research found that a new at-home foot scanner from Heartfelt Technologies could detect fluid build-up—an early sign of heart failure—an average of 13 days before a patient needed hospital care. It accurately predicted 5 of 6 hospitalizations.

A 2025 systematic review in Nutrients analyzed clinical and experimental studies, concluding that EVOO consumption is linked to improved cardiovascular health. Its rich content of monounsaturated fats and polyphenols contributes to lowering LDL cholesterol, reducing blood pressure, and enhancing endothelial function.

A 2025 study from UC San Francisco, published in JAMA Cardiology, found that chronic cannabis use—whether smoked or consumed as edibles—is linked to significantly reduced blood vessel function, comparable to the effects seen in tobacco smokers.

A 2025 clinical study found that over half of carotid artery plaques removed during surgery contained microplastics—and their presence was linked to a fourfold increase in the risk of heart attacks, strokes, or death.

A 2025 review in Frontiers in Nutrition highlights that fish are rich in bioactive compounds, omega-3 fatty acids, and high-quality proteins, which can help prevent cardiovascular, neurological, and inflammatory diseases.

A 2025 study from Uppsala University found that even short-term sleep deprivation raises inflammation-related proteins linked to cardiovascular disease, even in healthy young adults.

A 2025 analysis by Georgi Dinkov highlights that polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), prevalent in many vegetable oils, can disrupt mitochondrial function in mammals. This disruption may impair energy production and overall cellular health.
