High levels of lipoprotein(a), a type of "bad" cholesterol, may be associated with an 18-20 per cent higher risk of cardiovascular disease among people who have hypertension. However, CVD risk was not higher among those without hypertension, according to new research
Eyes may really be the window to the soul--or, at least, how humans dart their eyes may reveal valuable information about how they make decisions, suggests new research led by scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Extremely hot and cold temperatures both increased the risk of death among people with cardiovascular diseases, such as ischemic heart disease (heart problems caused by narrowed heart arteries), stroke, heart failure and arrhythmia, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's flagship journal Circulation.
For people ages 75 and older, age-related changes in general health and in the heart and blood vessels require consideration and likely modifications in how heart attacks and heart disease are treated, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published in the Association's flagship, peer-reviewed journal Circulation.
Researchers have come up with fresh ideas for how microbes might assist humans in establishing colonies on the moon and Mars in response to the biochemical process by which cyanobacteria in Chile's Atacama Desert obtain nutrients from rocks.

Peeking out from behind the glare of a bright foreground star, astronomers have uncovered the most extraordinary example yet of a nearby galaxy with characteristics that are more like galaxies in the distant, early universe. Only 1,200 light-years across, the tiny galaxy HIPASS J1131-31 has been nicknamed "Peekaboo" because of its emergence in the past 50-100 years from behind the fast-moving star that was obscuring astronomers' ability to detect it.
According to the findings of six-month research headed by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers, using portable home air purifiers can improve some markers of cardiovascular health in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD.
The legendary scientist Francis Crick first postulated in 2005 that the brain region known as the claustrum is the seat of consciousness. Researchers now posit that Crick may have been incorrect: They developed a new theory built on data that the claustrum behaves more like a high-speed Internet router, taking in executive commands from 'boss' areas of the brain's cortex that forms complex thoughts to generate 'networks' in the cortex.
An experimental therapeutic cancer vaccine induced two distinct and desirable immune system responses that led to significant tumour regression in mice, report investigators.
