The study was observational and therefore unable to establish a cause-and-effect relationship. But air pollution could make people more vulnerable to COVID-19 in a number of ways, the researchers hypothesize. For instance, air pollution might increase people’s viral loads by limiting the lungs’ immune responses and anti-microbial activities, the study authors say. It may also increase chronic inflammation in the body and trigger the over-expression of a key enzyme receptor that SARS-CoV-2 uses to enter cells.
Since the st...

Cardiodiabetology: Newer Pharmacologic Strategies for Reducing Cardiovascular Disease Risks
Can J Physiol Pharmacol. 2022 Jun 30. doi: 10.1139/cjpp-2022-0065. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlobally, nearly 500 million adults currently have diabetes, which is expected to increase to approximately 700 million by 2040. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and peripheral arterial disease, are the principal causes of death in persons with diabetes. Key to the prevention of CVD is optimization of associated risk factors. However, few persons with diabetes are at recommended targets for key CVD risk factors including LDL-cholesterol, blood pressure, HbA1c, nonsmoking st...

The 5 Best Ways to Control High Cholesterol, According to People With the Condition
There are a variety of factors that influence cardiovascular risk—but cholesterol is one of the first things that doctors pay attention to.
Having high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is “definitely a variable we try to manage, because it’s been shown to be problematic for heart health,” says Dr. Adriana Quinones-Camacho, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health.
Though it’s often called the “bad” kind of cholesterol, LDL cholesterol makes up most of your body’s cholesterol stores. That means it’s not a villain on its own, but when levels start creeping ...
