Hello, friends. Taking care of your heart is a big part of feeling your best every day. Let us look at some recent health news together in a calm way.
What's new
According to the World Health Organization, nearly 17.9 million people die from cardiovascular diseases worldwide every year. Heart attacks and strokes account for more than four out of five of those deaths. Coronary heart disease, which can lead to a heart attack if untreated, develops when fatty material cholesterol accumulates in the blood vessels supplying the heart. High blood cholesterol is therefore a key risk factor for coronary heart disease. Now, new protein clues may help explain heart disease risk that persists despite lower LDL cholesterol.
