Transient Hypoxia-Ischemia on hiPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes

A central elicitor of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the human heart is hypoxia/ischemia (H/I) and yet there appears to be a lack of suitable in vitro models for the investigation of I/R-induced cellular mechanisms in human cardiac cells. A recent study has examined whether induced human pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes respond to physiologically defined transient H/I conditions.

			Cancer patients more likely to die from heart disease, stroke, study found Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death worldwide. Now, a team of researchers found that cancer-stricken patients are at a higher risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases (CVD). More than one in ten cancer patients don’t die from cancer itself, rather from heart and blood vessel conditions.

			Early cholesterol checks could save your heart A new study published in the journal The Lancet reports that early cholesterol checking in the 20s, for instance, would help forecast the individual’s risk of ever having a stroke or heart disease over a lifetime.

	Video games poised to fundamentally change cardiology training Video games are a popular form of entertainment in the U.S. with more than 164 million adults playing them. Seventy-five percent of households have at least one gamer. But in recent years, games have become more than just entertainment: They have entered the world of medicine. Over the last two years, University of Chicago Medicine cardiologist Atman P. Shah, MD, has been working as a physician adviser with a Chicago technology startup to create video games for doctors.

	The Health Benefits of Cilantro (Coriander) Researchers have found that cilantro may provide health benefits in the form of reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and seizure severity, as well as raising energy levels and healthy hair and skin. Cilantro, also known as coriander, is a herbal plant readily used in cooking and alternative medicine. Nutritionally, the herb is considered to be a good source of lipids and contains linalool, an essential oil.

	Stem cells do help restore heart function – but in a different way A new study published in the journal Nature shows that stem cells do work well to repair the damaged heart – but in an entirely different manner than was originally supposed. The study shows that stem cells, whether living or dead, when injected into the area of damage in the heart in mice, activate an intense acute inflammation.

	Cardiovascular Benefits of Blueberries Berries are generally considered to be beneficial for a number of human body systems, including the cardiovascular system. Blueberries have been shown to reduce type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk, both in the short-term and the long-term for normal and at-risk populations.
