Risks and Benefits of Intermittent Fasting for the Aging Cardiovascular System - PubMed

Risks and Benefits of Intermittent Fasting for the Aging Cardiovascular System - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38354947/

Population aging and the associated increase in cardiovascular disease rates pose serious threats to global public health. Different forms of fasting have become an increasingly attractive strategy to directly address...

 

Intermittent fasting may improve cardiovascular health by addressing aging-related risk factors. While promising, further research is needed to confirm benefits and safety, particularly for elderly individuals at high risk.

ADA 2025 Highlights: Obesity Therapies, Islet Cell Advances, and Oral GLP-1 Outcomes in T2D

At ADA 2025, Dr. Mark Atkinson (University of Florida Diabetes Institute) highlighted the systemic benefits of obesity-targeted therapies, including cardiometabolic and cognitive improvements, while noting concerns about implementation and potential muscle loss. Emerging advances in stem cell–derived islet transplantation for type 1 diabetes show promise in reducing insulin dependence. Dr. John Buse (University of North Carolina) presented SOUL trial data indicating that oral GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy reduced major adverse cardiovascular events—CV death, nonfatal MI, or stroke—by 14%, with additional reductions in limb complications in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes.

Robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting: how I teach it - PubMed

Robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting: how I teach it - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39157180/

The first robotic cardiac operation was performed more than two decades ago. This paper describes the distinct steps and components necessary for teaching robotic-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass...

 

Robotic-assisted MIDCAB requires structured training, team coordination, and institutional support. It offers clinical and economic benefits over sternotomy CABG, with improved outcomes, shorter recovery, and reduced hospital resource utilization.
