Common gout drug may help lower heart attack and stroke risk
Colchicine is a medication typically used to help treat gout, mainly by treating pain and inflammation. A recent review found that low dose colchicine may help prevent heart attacks and strokes in individuals who already have cardiovascular disease. The review also found that colchicine likely doesn’t decrease risk for death or have an impact on rates of coronary revascularization, which is a procedure that helps to reestablish blood supply to the heart.

3 ways vitamin D may boost longevity, according to research
Recent research has investigated the potential health benefits of vitamin D, and the role it may play in protecting against certain health conditions. One study found that vitamin D may have anticancer effects, which could help reduce colorectal cancer risk. Another piece of research suggests that vitamin D may contribute to longevity and slow aging. A third recent study also indicates that vitamin D might drastically reduce the risk of experiencing a second heart attack.

1 cup of coffee a day may lower AFib recurrence risk by 39%
More than 37 million people worldwide have experienced atrial fibrillation (AFib). Past studies have also shown that limiting or avoiding certain foods, like caffeine, may help lower a person’s AFib risk. A new study found that drinking 1 cup of caffeinated coffee a day might help lower a person’s risk of recurrent AFib episodes by as much as 39%.
Common chemical used in dry cleaning may triple risk for liver fibrosis
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) can lead to liver fibrosis, which can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. Past studies also show there are some environmental risk factors that might increase a person’s risk for liver disease. A new study reports that a common chemical used in dry cleaning and for certain consumer products may triple a person’s risk for liver fibrosis.
High levels of heart damage biomarker may signal increased dementia risk
Researchers have known for some time now that cardiovascular health can impact a person’s risk for dementia. Past studies show that certain heart-related conditions may increase a person’s risk of developing dementia. A new study found that people with signs of heart damage during middle age — detected through a specific protein — are at a higher risk of developing dementia later in life.
Changes in gut bacteria may be a warning sign of heart disease
Experts are interested in how microorganisms in the gut impact heart health. A recent study has identified possible bacterial species associated with coronary artery disease, as well as critical metabolic pathways, metabolic products, genes, and functional differences of specific bacteria. This research could pave the way towards using gut-related strategies to address coronary artery disease.
D3 supplements could halve the risk of a second heart attack
A new study from researchers with Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City examined the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on people who previously had heart attacks. The researchers did not give everyone the same vitamin D3 dosage but instead adjusted the amount based on the needs of each participant. The researchers found that vitamin D3 may drastically reduced the risk of having a second heart attack.
