Two heart conditions have a similar cause—study finds key difference

MyBlueDots3 months ago01 mins

Two common and potentially deadly heart diseases can be caused by mutations in the same gene. Surprisingly, though, these two conditions are each associated with very different clinical symptoms. Using engineered heart tissue, a team of researchers bring a clearer understanding of this phenomenon. The results are published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

In his new book, No More Normal, psychiatrist Alastair Santhouse recalls an experience from the 1980s when he was a university student in the UK helping deliver supplies to “refuseniks”—Soviet citizens who were denied permission to leave the USSR. These people often faced harsh treatment, losing their jobs and becoming targets of harassment. Some were even diagnosed with a psychiatric condition called “sluggish schizophrenia.”

Delays in diagnosing and treating psoriatic arthritis—a common inflammatory disorder affecting around 200,000 people in the U.K.—are causing irreparable damage to people’s health. This damage could be avoided by catching the condition earlier and treating it effectively, according to research led by scientists in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Bath.

While the typical image of someone suffering a heart attack might be a man clutching his chest, heart disease is a major problem for women, too. In fact, it’s the leading cause of death among women in the United States, with nearly 45% of the nation’s women over age 20 living with some form of cardiovascular disease.

People with heart failure are often advised to limit their fluid intake. However, a large study led by Radboud University Medical Center now shows that this practice does not provide any health benefits. Researchers writing in Nature Medicine found that it is safe when patients with heart failure regulate their own fluid intake.
