A novel integrated molecular imaging approach enables precise localization and quantification of heart damage, as well as accurate identification of disease subtypes. The dual PET/MR and PET/CMR technique also provides direct evidence supporting surgery as a cardio-protective intervention in these patients, offering a comprehensive strategy for managing primary aldosteronism.

Novel therapy saves patient with severe heart inflammation

MyBlueDots3 months ago01 mins

Acute myocarditis—sudden inflammation of the heart—causes mild symptoms in most cases, but about 10% of acute myocarditis cases can be sudden and severe, leading to cardiac arrhythmias, heart pump failure, or even death. Current therapies for the condition are built on limited data and may not effectively target the underlying disease mechanisms. Patients may even require mechanical circulatory support for life support when the heart is failing.

How can Sweden better protect public health during the next pandemic? A new study from Lund University shows that during the COVID-19 pandemic, new arrivals to Sweden were excluded from information, despite good intentions on the part of the authorities. This may have influenced their willingness to get vaccinated.

Stress hormone in the womb alters early heart development, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease

Exposure to high levels of the body’s primary stress hormone—cortisol—in preterm fetuses can disrupt normal heart development, potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease in later life.

Recycled plastics can affect hormone systems and metabolism, study shows

MyBlueDots3 months ago01 mins

A single pellet of recycled plastic can contain over 80 different chemicals. A new study by researchers from the University of Gothenburg and Leipzig shows that recycled polyethylene plastic can leach chemicals into water, causing impacts on the hormone systems and lipid metabolism of zebrafish larvae.
